The Green Knight and the Heir of Meduseld  by Le Rouret 3 Review(s)

Was afraid Fastred had been taken by some enemy. Glad the apparent spell on the glade was intended, apparently, only to protect it from profanation. Hope they find the horse all right.

Sanctuary he still thinks to find, does he? Interesting.

Oh, poor little Fastred! Kaimelas certainly made him see the error of his ways! And being a child of good conscience and of a loyal loving nature, he did indeed provide himself with his own punishment!

I like Legolas' solution to those that come and claim sanctuary with him. Very wise, practical and compassionate. And I have a feeling that Legolas will be sending a letter of his own to Faramir and Eowyn, and perhaps one to Eomer in Rohan as well.

I think young Fastred is going to have a number of lessons to learn, and Legolas will be an excellent teacher.

Oh--and by the way, I have missed your lovely style, and am thrilled to see it again!

H'm, this is curious. I wonder what Legolas knows, that he takes the boy in so readily. I would think he'd send him straight back to his parents, or perhaps accompany him to Rohan. I'm still not sure that he won't go to Rohan with Fastred, but that doesn't look to be happening any time soon. Still, it seems that he's implying Fastred will be able to stay there for an indefinite time, and I think that unlikely. H'm. I shall look forward to seeing how all of this works out. I am glad that Legolas didn't really take a switch to him, though. I can't imagine an Elf doing such a thing to his own child - Tolkien did say that Elf children require little correction. Legolas seems to adopt mortal customs as he chooses, and ignore the ones he dislikes, and I cannot imagine him taking to that one.
