Just discovered this story and it is so good! I know it has been years since you posted but please finish it!

One of the best stories I have read in fanfiction and I felt so much for Estel. Have you thought of a continuation? Its absolutely great story with a different twist to it about Elrond and I like how Haldir and Estel became friends and Haldir was so gentle and almost fathered the boy after a while. Take care!

Ah, how wonderful! At last he's with his Ada and at peace with the idea, the dreams and deceptions dispelled. Now, to find out WHO this other Elrond really is, and figure out how to deal with him! Hurry, Elrond, Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn--amongst the four of you you ought to be able to set this straight! Heh!

Excellent story. I look forward to finding out what happens.

Author Reply: You don't have to wait anymore--Chapter eight is up! :)

I'd always assumed the children of Earendil had grey eyes on both sides of the issue--Elrond and the descendants of Elros both. I'd barely remembered that part, and in my rereading via the Inglis recordings I've not reached that far as yet. But I'd always known grey.

As for this first true fight with Orcs--wonderful!

I'm really enjoying this.

In the following sentence (“Which one are you more sufficient in?”) "proficient" would be the better word and to be truly correct (but I'm nit-picking here) it should read “In which are you most proficient?”.

Poor Estel. He seems to get the worse of it no matter what. A nice study of character as the friendship between Estel and Haldir grows.

The chapter needs proofing, as I noticed many grammatical errors such as "... I do not think he will never let me out of his sight ever again" and you have text you apparently meant to replace with prhases in parentheses but forgot to. Also _vigil lín_ is not correct. "Your sword" is _magol lín_.

Author Reply: Fortune does not follow him, I fear. Either he's bad luck, or elves are bad luck and one should not travel with them. It makes you wonder which of the two had attracted the orcs--Estel or Haldir.

I've replaced the text that was in parentheses--and I think I'm going blind if I've missed that.
As for the elvish--*sheepish grin* I got it mixed up. It's been corrected now.

Thanks for letting me know.

I like your story so far, and I had to comment on your mention of the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. I know it's a kid's book series - but from the first time I read it, I couldn't put it down... good choice of battle backdrops.

Aha! Indeed a shapeshifter! And one intent on learning what he can of the One Ring while the true Elrond is away! Now, to find out who he is. (I don't have ALL the HoME books, unfortunately.)

Author Reply: Your guesses were all correct. And now I can come out from hiding. :)
One Ring? This one has his eye on something not-so-powerful...

I don't have all the HoME books, either. I got the information from online, friends, and the library. Info was scant indeed.
