So all the Elves are leaving save one. I hope he does not regret his decision, but at least in due time he will leave and rejoin his brother and their family in the West. Looking forward to the conclusion of this, Agape. It's been a real treat to read.

Author Reply: Unlike Men, Gannellas can rejoin his loved ones in the West.... as long as he doesn't miss the boat. ROTFL

Bless you. I'm so very happy to know you've enjoyed this. I did, too. Only one chapter left - chapter ten.

Thanks for your kind words and support throughout this.

PS - Legolaa isn't leaving yet.

The love involved in friendship is as great in its way as the love involved in romance. And I rejoice he finally has an instrument that fits him!

Author Reply: I had this feeling Gannellas wasn't quite ready to leave Middle-earth. Now he has a companion - though he will definitely outlive Boromir.

Love is awesome. Thank you for sharing a bit of yours via your comments. Most treasured from one of my favoritest authors.

I would spend the next few years away from Gondor. Let Faramir grow. Father never let him grow. It is the right thing to do.

What a thoughtful, loving, and mature decision. How lovely to imagine Boromir and an Elf traveling through Middle-earth, without all the cares and burdens they've known before. Perhaps they'll even visit the Shire before the King's ban is announced.

Author Reply: Boromir had quite a bit of solitary time to contemplate his future. And playing an instrument, IMHO, gives one even more time to think.

I got the impression that Gannellas and Boromir realized they were kindred spirits - Boromir as Gondor's Captain-general and Gannellas as leader of the Edhellond community. Care-worn and burdened - but now free.

My friend, Eru-willing, will have a birthday next year. I'm sure the Shire will play an important part in their travels. Sequal!

Bless you for your kind words throughout the telling of this tale.

I so look forward to reading and rejoicing at your next take!
