An Act of Betrayal  by Manderly 1 Review(s)
FirnsarnienReviewed Chapter: 9 on 5/11/2004
Aaaarg! *tears at hair, pulling several handfulls out in frustration* Egads, will this torment never end? :O Poor Leggy! Poor Thranduil and Tavaro for having to see that horribly torn and bloodied tunic! *sob* That's just awful! It must have torn their heart out! *sniff* I could just see both their faces going chalk-white when they read that note from the Easterlings. It must be dreadful to be stuck at home when all you want to do is tear out of the palace to find Legolas! I think I'd tear down every bush, turn over every rock, torture every bit of info out of any orc or man I'd encounter and scream at the top of my lungs to the heavens to help me find Legolas! Eeeek! That's pretty desperate huh? Well, see what you've driven me to!? Desperation!!! Heh, heh!

Feren and Aldeon are so maddeningly close. Oh, I can just imagine the horror on their faces when they see their dear little brother hanging by his wrists from a tree, bloodied and torn AND unconsious to boot! Boy are they gonna be MAD! Yup, that's M.A.D! Can't say I blame 'em! Hmmmm, maybe I should be saying poor Easterlings??? Naaaaah! LOL

Good grief woman, while you *are* typing fast, my anxiety just hasn't eased *one bit*! I think it's worse now than when you started! Please hurry and put me out of my misery! And I hope to Illuvitar this next chappy has Feren and Aldeon finding and rescuing Leggy! Really, how much of him is actually left to rescue! :) (But you know, I really do love all this Leggy angst, right? ;) The more the better! Heh, heh!)

Can't wait for the next chappy, but I guess I'll have to huh? LOL Hurry!

Author Reply: I've posted the next chapter so hopefully you can stop pulling your hair out. It was difficult trying to write Thranduil's reaction (and Tavaro's) to Legolas' plight, trying to find the right balance between total blood-thirsty rage and a sense of responsibility for the realm. As you can see in the latest chapter, Legolas is in a bit of a mess, both physically and mentally. Everybody is in for some angst yet.
