| That is beautiful, Perelleth. And sad. And hopeful, too, I suppose. I'm glad that Gildor announced that they would be together again - I think that the idea of an endless division between men and elves is truly sad, especially in the context of Elros and Arwen and their kin. Gildor makes a superb Guardian - and I do hope he is reunited with his wife and daughter on the far side of the sea. Author Reply: THank-you Bodkin. Since Gildor is so sure that they will be reunited, I will not gainsay him and say that yes, it was meant to be hopeful. :-) | |

| This was both a sad and uplifting chapter in the characters' lives. But as always, knowing the history helped to get me through the sadder parts. Such angst... good angst,though ;) I really liked your description of Mithlond at this point in time. Arwen taking over her mother's role was touching. As was Gildor's piling pledge upon pledge to also watch over this family. And, I loved the last lines. Perfect ending. OK,concerning the lovely quotes, now you know I can't not say this: imho Tolkien was talking about the Exiles in ME, not the Umanyar. :D Author Reply: Sorry that i forgot to answer and thank you for taking the time! KNwoing the ending is helpful, although I really don't like to read the ending of LOTR svery often! | |

| I really enjoyed this, Perelleth. The ending gave me shivers. And I liked the idea of Gildor gently showing the twins how a descent into madness need not be forever. You captured Tolkien's mix of melancholy and joy. Author Reply: It seems I had totally forgotten to reply to this, and I apologize! :-) Thank-you very much, daw. | |
