Oh my...what is gonna happen...I'm guessing it has to do with their blood...pure elven, and pure human, since the twins are fine. But then again...Leggy did drink all that howler blood...maybe it's affecting him...well I'm gonna stop torturing myself by trying to figure this out. Hurry please and post the next chapter :)

Author Reply: You are right. It all has to do with the howler blood. I appreciate your efforts to figure it out. But you know I couldn't tell you here, even if you found the solution, supposing there is one, of course. I never said Lgoolas will survive. :o)

Next chapter right now.

Very interesting. Couldn't they give him a transfusion of their own blood, couldn't that combat the howlers' blood. I know it wouldn't be much, but it could work to a certain degree, though I doubt they knew about transfusions back then. If they just give him a little though, Legolas' blood would dilute it so the problem of different antigens and all that won't come into play. Just a thought. And I enjoyed this chapter as I anticipated.

Author Reply: Good guess. The next chapter, which I've written but haven’t polished up yet, wil reveal everything, and you will know if you are correct or not. The knowledgeable healers like Elrond may have possibly understood the principle behind transfusions, but not having needles and such, it would have been hard to put into practice. Thank you.

I'm refusing to believe that legolas is going to die. I think he's not getting better like the rest of the group because of the untreated bite on his wrist. I also think Aragorn is getting infected too. Or coming down with a really bad cold.

Author Reply: I hope your stubornness doesn't put you in for a big letdown. Of course, you may also be right. I can't reveal that just yet. I can tell you that the previously undiscovered wrist wound is not a clue. A bad cold is also a good guess but also not the case here. Next chapter explains all.

I wonder what's making Aragorn sicker. Their reasoning about pure elf blood seems sound but if Aragorn is getting worse then it may not be the entire story.

Author Reply: I spent a while sorting thorugh the whole blood thing; pure elvien blood, pure human blood, half and half (so to speak). Then I had to combine that with who had bites, and who had bites and howler blood. I confused myself sometimes. The next chapter will sort everything out. I promise.

Oh dear, oh dear. Legolas may be exceedingly ill, but it's probably only a matter of time before Aragorn collapses now. And where's Elrond when you need him? (Yes, I know the answer is Imladris!)

If E2 are doing well, perhaps you NEED a mixture of elven and human blood - plus a touch of Maiar (in the ratio 78:19:3 perhaps) - to help you survive this. Blood transfusions?

I love Aragorn's thought that a second head would be of some assistance. He's not right though, because they would both be aching.

I'm sure there is something they have not thought of - and I hope the evil author nudges them in the right direction while the elf is still around to benefit!

Author Reply: Aragorn's sudden illness is puzzling, but then he's human. Elrond will not come to the rescue this time, I'm afraid. The boys are on their own.

Good idea on the blood combination and transfusion. Cant' say yet, of course.

I like the two-headed thought, too. And yes, I'm sure another one would hurt as bad as his original one seems to be doing.

I can't say anything about your last comment, either. Bummer, isn't it?

Author Reply: You know you are being totally unfair. I'm a chocoholic of the first order. Tempting as your bribe may be, I have to decline the offer. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean I'll killed Legolas off. Maybe I will, and maybe I won't. I'm just not telling---yet. You'll have to wait untilt I post again.
