Dark Vision  by White Wolf 12 Review(s)
NalediReviewed Chapter: 2 on 5/12/2007
What a relief! I'm so glad Aragorn's message got there in time. I love the idea of a vision that seems to last for weeks. You finished the tale without mentioning whether anyone went to hunt down the orcs though. I hope someone finishes them off before they get hold of anyone else.

Author Reply: You and me both.

That vision 'extension' was my little plot twist, which I was hoping no one would guess. This story was written for a contest, so the length was limited, therefore I couldn't cover everything I normally would have in a longer story. However, knowing how thorough our king is, I'm sure the orcs were taken care of. :o)

Aha--a vision within a vision.

Have had times I've dreamt of waking from a dream, only to realize I'm only dreaming of waking. Had one of those this afternoon, in fact.

So glad Toldon was there and so right as to what could be done.

Author Reply: Yes, indeed. I wanted a plot twist, and that one seemed perfect.

i've had those kinds of dreams, as well. Weird, aren't they?

Thank goodness for Toldon. Had more time passed before Aragorn or Arwen thoguht of the solution, it would have been too late. But all's well that ends well.

This was great! I was so afraid you were going to leave us hanging forever! Nice job - good tension, great dialogue, good ending! LOL

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it. I would never do that. :o) Thank you for the compliments. Those were certainly goals of mine while writing this story.

A very dramatic opening. I liked your Aragorn and Arwen scene.I hope it is a bad dream or something?

Author Reply: Glad you like it. This was the first time I have written Arwen into a story, so I wasn't sure how she'd come across. I'm pleased you liked her and Aragorn together. Or something. :o)

*sigh* That was beautiful! I'm sooo glad that my precious isn't dead, the golden one is my life! Excellent writing all around.

Kudos!
Galimeril ;D

Author Reply: I'm pleased you liked it. Yes, I managed to snatch the dear elf out of the jaws of my evil plot bunny, who I'm sure would have been happy to end the story with the first chapter. :o) Thanks so much.

A great start, but how could you do that to Legolas! I'm eagerly awaiting an update in the hope that Aragorn can find a way to bring the elf back (and Arod).

Author Reply: Thank you. Do what? :o) The next chapter will explain everything, so keep the faith. We'll see what, if anything, Aragorn can do to change things.

A most distressing vision; and a most distressing find.

Now--how do they turn back time to save Legolas?

Author Reply: Yes, you are quite right. Aragorn is certainly suffering at the moment.

Turning back time would be the simple solution, but things aren't always simple nor are they always hopeless. :o)

Wow! What a way to get everyone's blood to pumping. I hope that the next chapter begins with Aragorn waking up from a terrible nightmare!!! I love the way you have moved the story along quite quickly. It make for a much more enjoyable read. I also love the notion that Legolas never waits to be anounced...he just goes on in and knocks himself.
Can't wait for the next chapter...this sounds like it's going to be just full of mystery.
Peace
Beverly

Author Reply: I love wow. That's a nice thing to hope for, but we'll have to see if that happens. :o) The story was written for a contest, so it had a length limit, and that forced the story to move along fairly fast. Glad you liked it.

I always felt that Legolas didn't like to stand on ceremony, certainly with his friends, unless it was a formal occasion that demanded it.

More soon.
