Hi. This was a very sad chapter. Hopefully things will get better and Elrond will perfect the cure before another tragic death of a child. Looking forward to the next chapters. Good work.

Author Reply: Hi, minuial, thank you so much for your review. Yes, Elrond should hurry but at least the King is reconsidering. The next chapter is almost done. Glad you like the story. Lai

I just wanted to say that I have been following along, good story so far. You drew me in with a glimse of a little Legolas. I love little Legolas' stories. But you went back in time and I realized your story would not center around him. Oh! well, I still am reading the next chapters, so you have hooked me.

I was very glad that the eldest son, went behind Thranduil's back and asked for help. Too bad the only help to be had was from Imladris. At least he did not go to the Gladrium. (I don't like the Lorien elves, never have, they are too arogant.) I only hope this story does not end with Elrond saving the day and the Greenwood elves portrayed as bumbling country bumpkins. (Sorry, I am a Greenwood elf at heart and have always felt that the snooty Imladris elves and the arogant Lorien elves has looked down on us.) "Grins" please don't be offended if you story does end with Elrond saving everyones life.

I am glad that Thranduil has had a change of mind about letting Elrond help, but at the cost of an elfling. I am sure that will eat at him.

Please don't let one anonmous (I think that is how it is spelled) ruin your writing. You have plenty of good reveiw with encouragement to draw upon. You have courage to post your story for all to read.

Looking forward to your next chapter.

Thank you for your gift.
Robin

Author Reply: Hello, thank you so very much for your encouraging words. They really, really mean a lot to me. I´ve already considered to end the story right here, because of the one "lovely" review and the lack of others, but such reviews as yours always keep me going. I´m centered on the elves of Imladris - sorry - but I also love the wood elves as much and they will surely not look bad in the end. Elrond will help them - he´s after all the best healer, but I will surely not forgett Thranduil and Co. Again many thanks for your kind words and I hope you will further "suffer" my Noldor elves and I hope to see you at the end. Lai
