Excellent story. Great use of plot twists and suspense, and your characterisation is spot-on.

Struck down by your lack of updates, I pleaded with my king for some R&R and have just returned to my duties here in the the Great Wood. I note that the black squirrels have gained the upperhand in my absence. Life is a constant struggle in Taur-e-Ndaedelos.

The King notes with pleasure that you are again writing and even saw your duty to him and updated during your training. You have earned honor. My liege also acknowledges that Elrond perhaps earned his cup of tea this time. However, the loremaster must not rest upon his laurels for our prince seems yet grievously at risk. We look to his return to the arms of his family. If not, Dagorlad shall seem but a garden party!

Humble Scribe to his Majesty Thranduil

Author Reply: Yes, Elrond definitely earned his cup of tea for all that he was put through. Heh.

Kindly let your Majesty know that Prince Legolas is in good hands and will be returned to him in one piece. :P

That is definetly a much better place to leave off. Now you just need to come back so we can read some more! Sorry I haven't reviewed in such a long time- RL caught up with me! Keep going!

Author Reply: Yep, figured the readers would like it for once... no cliffie. Can't have you hanging for 1 whole week *g* However, I can't say the same for my next training in December. I'll try to end it at a not-so-cliffe chapter. Hehehe. Wish me luck! :D

Another great chapter! I love the tenderness and the closeness of the twins and Elrond. The twins are so concerned about him after all he has been through. And the touch about the tea, that was cute.
I sure hope you are done torturing our two heroes, I think they deserve a break for a while don't you???
Keep up the great work and update soon!!!

Author Reply: I thought drugging Elrond's tea would be funny! But I somehow I don't think he would appreciate it. *eg* And neither would the twins.

Me? Done torturing our heroes? Hmm... let me ponder on that for a bit... nope, not done yet but I'll give them a short break. *g*

“The suspense is killing me!” (As one of the twins said) Great job! I loved Elrond's weariness and the speculation as to what might have happened!

Author Reply: Hehehe. My apologies for the suspense but.... but... there's no suspense in this chapter! LOL! Hold on to your hat, November 10 is approaching soon...

I was beginning to wonder if you had forgotten about that box. I shouldn't have doubted you. When I read the last chapter about Aragorn's nightmare, my mind flew back to the box and the mysterious It inside. Could It have been responsible for Aragorn's nightmare??

*putting on her detective hat again*

Author Reply: Wow! A whole series of reviews! Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to review! *gives you a big squishing hug* You didn't even give me enough time to reply to all of them. LOL!!

Ahh yes the box... What's in the blasted box?!? Is it significant or did I put it in just for fun? You'll find out later. I'm not saying a thing until then *eg*

Get your detective hat into gear. Lots of thinking to do. :D
