An Act of Betrayal  by Manderly 3 Review(s)
FirnsarnienReviewed Chapter: 4 on 5/6/2004
Ah, so it begins! :) The angst I mean! LOL Well, and everything else too! But really Manderly, what a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE place to leave us hanging! :P That was *not* nice!

Poor Leggy. He thought he was simply going to take a nice leisurely stroll in the woods, listen to the trees and smell the fresh air. Instead, he finds himself tied up and beaten! And his poor body is not even recovered from his last brush with death! And now he's bleeding...from his side???? :O Oh my! This is *not* looking good!

I read this chappy in record time, it was so good I couldn't put it down! Er, I mean, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen! Read it all down to the last drop! :)

Hmmm, Meldon is feeling a bit of guilt and remorse huh? I hope he helps Leggy get away, he just might be salvagable. Now his father on the other hand, I think he may very well be a lost cause.

Can't wait for the next chappy! :) I'll be here...right here...see, I'm right in front of my computer...patiently waiting the next chappy. :)

Author Reply: Sorry to leave you hanging, but next chapter should be up soon.

Legolas has some tough time ahead of him. Meldon is struggling with his conscience and his love for his brother. Ambartur is certainly not going to win any popularity contests or sympathy. He's rather deranged, isn't he?

Oiy! You've really put Meldon in a tough spot there. I have a feeling he doesn't really agree with having to give Legolas up, but he wants his brother back.

I can't wait for more! Thanks for the quick updates. :)

Author Reply: I really do feel for Meldon. I think he does have a sense of honour but he also loves his brother. And having a father like Ambartur certainly doesn't help. I am glad you feel sympathy for him as I didn't want to make all the "bad guys" totally without redemption.

A heart stopper! My angst meter is ringing furiously. Just as he gets better, poor Legolas is treated to the abuse from traitors. Meldon's father certainly has a gripe with Thranduil. Unfortunately, it looks like his idea to trade Legolas for his younger son is only going to bring heartache. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: Your angst meter is pretty accurate, I must admit. There's quite a bit of angst coming. I just hope it doesn't come across as mindless angst. And yes, Meldon's father is almost deranged in his hatred for Thrandui. I wasn't very sympathetic when I was creating his character.

Thanks for reviewing.
