Oh, holy heaven to Betsey! Those poor Elves, they need to get home to some TLC. I love this story, it's really intense and dramatic. Thanks! Author Reply: And they're still needing that TLC. Nearly home, but all is not well ... Jay | |

*blink* You killed the poor elleth. You killed her. And you made Legolas shoot her no less!! How could you? *fan breaths deeply to get over her shock*. That was a brilliant, if scary chapter. I am presuming that is a Nazgul - very effective, the bony handreaching out to touch her. The arrows passing through it/him and most of all its touch robbing her of joy, light. Brrr... Exciting stuff. I read the chapter twice before I got the courage to review. PS. legolas is a bit foolhardy to take such risks - I know it was needed and all but still. Don't let anything happen to him okay. Or any of the other ones. Oh yeah - let the horse survive too. Please. POST SOON Author Reply: Yes, it was a Nazgul - I think the worst of all enemies for an elf. Poor Elentia - but think what would have happened if Legolas had not acted. Don't worry, Legolas' horse will be fine. Jay | |

Oh! Well, she died, but at least that's better than eternal torture in Dol Guldur. I'd have been thankful, had I been her. I'm looking forward to the next chapter! Author Reply: Weighed against Dol Guldur, it was the only thing the elves could do. Not an easy choice to make. Jay | |

Oh wow this was terrifying. And you did it just right, Jay, because I became convinced of what Legolas had to do at about the same time he did. But you really scared the wits out of me first. Author Reply: I'm sorry - sort of - that I scared you, but really glad the chapter had such an impact. Poor Legolas - it wasn't an easy thing for him. Jay | |

Oh, dear. Poor Elentia, I hope that nothing too bad happens to her. Hurry and write the next chapter, please! Author Reply: Poor Elentia indeed. But something bad does happen, I'm afraid.

It strikes me that Elentia might be lucky to be unconscious. Or perhaps not. She needs to learn stuff, I guess. I liked her memories of lessons about being captured by Orcs. It sounded so realistic. Legolas and the others to the rescue, I hope! I am relieved that he's OK. Author Reply: Poor Elentia. There's worse in store for her. Legolas will 'save' her, but not in the way people will expect.

Very exciting chapter! I would not want to be the one to deliver the news to Thranduil either. It's always interesting to try to figure out what would be good strategy in these situations. I keep thinking that the Elves would be very clever but danged if I can think of good stuff for them to do. I can see your Legolas working out the best plan he can and it seems good to me, although it evidently did not work out too well. | |

As I was reading this, I was thinking about how much I admired the members of this elven patrol. They seem so capable and very elfy - at home in the forest, very self-disciplined, able to function on their own but committed to supporting one another. And the glimpse of Dol Guldur is interesting too. I have trouble picturing it. Author Reply: I think the warriors of Lasgalen (I don't think the elves would call their home Mirkwood) have had a long time fighting Dol Guldur, and have their own ways of comabting the shadow, used to working as a team. Thanks for the review - I'm glad you think the patrol are 'elfy' - it's what I try to make them! Jay | |
