The Jewels of his Existence  by Orophins Dottir 2 Review(s)
The KarenatorReviewed Chapter: 6 on 12/20/2003
My Lady Scribe,
How my heart doth fairly burst with joy at the sight of Fuin leaping to his elf's side. So alone has he been as he dwelt in the unfamiliar stables of the mortals. His brave heart is sure as he will carry our most dear Rumil on his quest. May the Valar watch over these love ones. Young Eldarion has been charged in the care of those he loves and though young he may be, he is brave and willing to accept the duty as his own. Such pride do I feel for this young one.
I anxiously await news from Rumil's journey. Shall we soon be blessed with the presence of one of the Istari? For I doth sit upon pins and needles in hopes that some aid may soon come to our Legolas. Pray, my Lady, will good news arrive soon? Until the time that we hear again from your quill, I will keep my vigil....Your faithful servant, The Karenator

Author Reply: Ah, lady, the trials of our prince are not yet at an end. However, his adar draws closer to his side. The rest of the world may tremble, but the prince needs Ada's strength I think. Also his ability to kick butt. Yes, I shall feel feel better with the King of Mirkwood at hand. Attention shall be paid then to all that is amiss in Gondor!

Hope all is well after the Solstice festivities. A carrier pigeon shall be sent forth soon.

You are really capturing me with this story, OD. I have never been able to understand the Haldir frenzy and suddenly I find I'm taken by Rumil. And I love your Eldarion too. He seems like such a natural figure, like a real little boy who is brave and interested in the behavior of the adults around him, even when he doesn't fully understand it.

Author Reply: Thank you! High praise indeed. When the holiday is over, I plan on spending more time with your stories. It is too insane right now!

I have spent something like 30+ years being fond of the Brothers Galadhrim. At my very first encounter with the books, they fascinated me for some reason. Probably because so little was known about them. There was something about them sitting up in that talan with their arms around their knees talking to one another, warning of "yrch" and then drawing the fell creatures away through the woods to keep the hobbits safe! Nice boys.

Eldarion is new to me. I see him as an interface in the Arwen-Rumil-Aragorn triangle. All of them love him. He is turning out to be a nice little kid, isn't he?
