Ah--he found a spider's nest of sorts in the odd flet. Do spiders build flets, then?

Author Reply: Only when it is cheaper then leasing. ;)

Sorry to hear your house has been hit with illness too. There seems to be a lot of stuff going around. :(

Wow - didn't know this was written a long time ago. Just saw it posted now. A real hear-stopper. I had my mouth open the entire time I read this chapter. Very good, very taut, very scary! Now onto chapter 2!

Author Reply: I've never had a story sit for so long - they get started, they get finished, we move on to the next one .. .but this has not been a good year health wise. I am so glad Daw was willing to play in my world and finish it for me.

Glad you liked the beginning. :>)

I so enjoy your stories. Please say you're not posting a chapter once a year! Lol!

Author Reply: Fortunately, Fishy, it is only a two chapter story, so we're done, thanks to Daw! LOL, sorry for the very long wait. Nilmandra

...love the story.....and need more. I know real life has a nasty habit of getting in the way; but you've left us hanging now for a year!

Tricksy writers!

Author Reply: No more, Daw has graciously finished the story for me! I hope you enjoy the ending. ~Nilmandra

I do adore you're writing, and I'd be thrilled to see any update by you - one of my absolute favourite authors. Would it be rude to prod and ask if you're still writing, or if there's another chapter for this tale on the way?

This is a nice story and I wouldn't mind seeing more of it. :-)

Wow! What a story Nilmandra. I actually read it awhile back but I've been horribly remiss in leaving reviews lately. As always though, you rock my world! What a great story. I felt like I was right beside poor little Leggy feeling every bit of his terror. And Lathron, his fierce protectiveness of Leggy was so heartening to see. I think my favorite part had to be when poor little Leggy threw hiself over his friend. See, even when he was little, he was willing to sacrifice hiself to save others! :)

Good grief, it's wonderful to be reading about these characters again. I've loved them for so long, I about rolled around my room in delight when I saw you had a new story with little Leggy in it again. *sigh* I can't wait until you continue this! I'll be here with bated breath, as always, when you write! :)

I am horribly remiss in answering reviews! I am glad you liked Legolas's bravery - that is the idea with the title and poem, too. That is the 'Set of his soul'. :D

Catching up on reading...this is great, Nilmandra! I love Legolas and the squirrel. Dumb squirrel, indeed, to not recognize a trade! ;-) And when the spider appears, the tension there is great! Well written. I love these characters and I hope you continue this soon.

Author Reply: Oh my, Elliska, I haven't answered reviews in almost a year! I am so out of the loop. Thank you for reviewing. I am glad you enjoyed it.. and I hope you like Daw's ending. :D

Yay! SO good that you finally returned to Lasgalen! And with spiders! That was great. The tension brew up nicely form the merry beginning, so we remember again the evil times they are facing and how asy could be as well for an elf to lose his life. Poor Lathron, I hope he gets well... and I hope that lEgolas does not feel too bad. YOu get me waiting eagerly...

Author Reply: Here I am, many months later, and poor Legolas has been wrapped in spider webbing. But he is all better now, thanks to Daw! Thanks for reviewing and pardon my lack of manners. :/

I've been reading so many spider stories lately. What is it, Spider Month?
:-)
No matter. This is an interesting beginning. I look forward to more.
I wonder what Thranduil will have to say to his son. "Stay away from abandoned flets!", perhaps?

~Calenlass

Author Reply: My apologies for the long delay in responding, as well as finishing. IT was indeed spider month! We had a little challenge. Glad you liked the beginning.. and hopefully the ending too.
