| I agree that his fate could've changed if there was someone who was actually there for him and he didn't have to show that he was so strong all the time and be that prideful. But that pride did come from his mother MOrwen who took the first wrong step of just sending Turin away- the whole family should've departed together to Doriath and things might've turned out differently. | |

| This almost brought me to tears. The entire 'The Children of Hurin' tale is heartbreaking, but Turin's childhood always moves me the most. Beautifully written! | |

| A foreboding comes over me: his child's heart will break, and of the shards will grow a heart of stone and pride. He is his mother's son. I love how this is phrased and i really like Labadal's wise thoughts about how Turin's heart will ultimately become. | |

| How powerful. i love how you can say so much with so little words. This angst and pity resonates with me. Good job. | |

| The fate of Hurin's family is one of the saddest among all tales from first age, in my opinion, and Morgoth's curse against them is among his most evil deeds. :( Sad, lovely drabble series. ;) Author Reply: I agree. It truly was a curse in every sense. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was my very first time to venture into the First Age, so I was a bit trepidatious. | |

| And he foresees truly. No wonder he grieves for Turin, as young as he is. Author Reply: Indeed. The poor child had so much potential for greatness beyond his deeds as a warrior, but all of that was squashed and ruined before it ever really had a chance to bloom. | |

| What an interesting concept, I'm very glad you've explored it here as I love these little drabbles so far. They make a great insight! Author Reply: Thank you! I have one more yet to go. I have enjoyed exploring these two. I am hoping perhaps it might inspire someone more knowledgeable than I about the First Age to a fuller treatment of this friendship! | |

| Alas that such friendship gifts should each be needfully returned, and yet that last one should prove in many ways the saddest, even though it might be given as the child saw fit. Author Reply: Well, of course, Turin is still young enough to not quite get the distinction between "mine and thine". He sees something that he thinks his friend will like and wants him to have it. And yes, the knife was a very sad gift. | |
