Ed'ledhron  by Elanor Silmariën 6 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: 1 on 4/8/2007
This is so lovely, dear! So profound and loving. Now I am going to have to listen to that song again! I could quote all my favorite parts but suffice it to say, that's everything that Elrond said and some of what Frodo was thinking ahead of time. I love everything that wise Elf said, but my dear, dear Elanor, this cannot be the end, this is only the beginning. You *must* continue this journey in which only the first step has been taken. Please!!! Pretty please with all the mushrooms you want on top! Do you know "Only an Ocean Away" by Sarah Brightman? It's not written of course as a friendship song but parts of it remind me of Sam missing Frodo:

Oh I want you here with me.
Oh be here with me.
There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime
Still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember
You're only an ocean away.

Want to do a story around that?

But this one must go on! I simply can't wait. This is got to be your best one yet. (Just a little note, that Iluvatar is how you spell His name).

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Wow, Ellie! That was really profound. I loved it! I want to buy that song from iTunes. I only heard a little portion of it, but I got the lyrics and they are so beautiful! ANyway, I have to go. Hantanyel for such a beautiful story!
Namarie, ammelda!
God Bless,
Frodo Baggins

Author Reply: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it!! *bounces* Yes, buy the song! It's sooo pretty! I love alot of Enya's stuff. Most of it sounds very Elvish and reminds me of Rivendell and the Havens Elves. Namarie!
God bless,
Ellie

Beautiful Elanor. Will we see a sequel?

Author Reply: Thank you! A sequal? Well, I was going to pen one when I finished this, but I'm not really sure where to take it. There might be eventually, if inspiration strikes me. *grins*
God bless,
Ellie

*Takes deep breath and sighs* Oh Elli!!! This HAS to be one of my absolute favs!!!!! I cried! (I think the fact that I listened to exile while reading this helped. heh) Wow. really beautiful! The song really does match Frodo. And it was deep!
And I loved that you had Elrond in it!! heh
God bless ~Arwen

Author Reply: Wow, you cried? I'm so glad you liked it! It didn't turn out anything like I expected, lol! I love the song so much, I just had to write a story from it. *grins* And Elrond, yes, he was the only one I thought would be good for that scene.
God bless,
Ellie

Oh, wow, Ellie! Yes, it is very sad, but I just love it love it love it! I've been there--empty and feeling helpless, lost, nothing to hold onto and all that, and Frodo will know the salvation I was given! :) Very beautiful, very poignant and very true. Brava!
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Oh! I'm so glad you liked it! Yes, I think most people have been at that point sometime in their lives, and it's such a comfort to know that there is salvation! I'm glad you liked it!
God bless,
Ellie
