A really fascinating story. Lots of character development and it really evokes powerful emotions. You've done a great job with this and I'll definitely be looking at your other works. Thanks so much for a great read.

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I highly appreciate it. And thank you also for the compliments. -- To be honest, though, they surprised me. I never thought you would say anything about character development... Then again, I did not think anyone would be interested with the 'mis'adventure of a nine-year-old OFC. -- I hope they can motivate my muse properly... She always thinks this plot-bunny is not worth continuing. :rueful:

I should expect a wonderful description of the first meeting between two very different people when I saw that you were the author, Earille. I love reading about the ainur and their language of music, and this story put a big smile on my face. I read these stories before sleep, and recognise what it feels like after an especially alien and wonderful dream, it feels almost more real than reality itself in the moment before waking fully up.



Author Reply: "I should expect a wonderful description of the first meeting between two very different people when I saw that you were the author, Earille." LOL Ow. I am both flattered and apprehensive. It is a rather high standard for me to live up to. Have I passed the test now with this story? (I sorely hope so!)

I am glad Raine's little adventure entertained you. I was a bit worried, since this is about the experiences of a nine-year-old girl, a little kid by all measures... and there is no action there. But perhaps the bit about the Music substituted for it? I do hope so, and it seems that it happened to you. (Pardon the assumption.)

What left now is the second part of the epilogue; and then the story is concluded. The continuation of this is a crossover between this story and Harry Potter, so it cannot be posted here. (I will post it on FanFiction.Net and Lord of the Rings FanFiction.) But I got another version of it which includes no crossover... Perhaps I will do it and post it here; who knows? My muse is too fickle for me to even promise myself. :rueful:

I am really glad you enjoyed the story. Hopefully someday I will write something about the Ainur and their language again, or other "first meetings." :)

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Siiw. It is much appreciated.
