| A very emotional chapter. Well done! Thranduil's reticence about taking his son to Lorien is understandable. Under the circumstance, he can hardly be blamed for wanting nothing more but to get his son home, regardless of whether it is home to his son. Celeborn is being very patient and kind, though, despite his hurt feelings. I like that, for that is how I imagine Celeborn. J | |

| Poor Enadar - he has spent an ENTIRE AGE locked up, half-starved and abused in the deepest pits of Dol Guldur!! Part of me can't help but feel that he would have been better off passing into the care of Mandos until he was reborn. I hope that between them all, these elves can bring him back to some semblance of normality - though it seems unlikely. And on another point:- 'Thranduil hesitated for a moment, but when he caught a glimpse of Galadriel watching them intently, he shook his head.' I feel for Galadriel, you know. It doesn't matter what she does, she is always treated as some kind of enemy alien by most of Celeborn's kin. Have they not heard of racial prejudice? Bigotry? Visiting the sins of the fathers (or uncles and cousins) upon the heads of their children? Two ages she has been Celeborn's wife. Two ages since the majority of her fellow Noldor princes were killed. Yet Thranduil still can't bear to be in the same forest as her. Author Reply: It's not about the Kinslaying at all. In "Between the Darkness and the Light" you can see what Thranduil's main problem with Galadriel really is. :) | |

| Ohh, I get it. Yeah that last bit was a little murky. But this way, with Enadar being Thranduil's son, is even more interesting. Does Legolas know about the older brother? I can see it being both ways. . .either Thranduil never tells Legolas on the theory that Enadar is never returning anyway, or that Enadar's presence has always haunted the house. Thranduil has so much love in his heart that it hurts. | |

| Soledad! I love it! You've handled Enadar's first moments out of his hell and torment with tenderness and love. It nearly broke my heart when he stammered "Ada" to Thranduil and needed to know his own name! *sob* *sniff* Your depiction of Thranduil is wonderful to read. He is still proud and stubborn, but the love and caring that he is showing to Enadar is so well crafted! More please! :-)) MM | |

| This chapter was even better than the first ones. Beautiful and sad, I must say. Thanks for the update. | |

| What a sadly sweet story. This elf is rescued bodily, but still is a long way from back from wherever he has gone. I like the character of Alagos especially. And the glimpses of Enadar's mind are convincingly done. Author Reply: Thank you. Alagos has - or will have - important parts in my various other stories, which, sadly, won't fit here. | |
