| I'm racking my brains to come up with a reason why E3 are getting better and Legolas isn't - it's driving me to reread all the bits where he was munched. (I hope the howler blood isn't reacting against the snake poison from the last tale. That would just be toooooooo sneaky.) And that infection started pretty quickly. It must be incredibly useful for warriors to have mega-quick healing powers. You'd think that the time it takes Men to heal would persuade them to give up violent pursuits. But no such luck. I hope something occurs to them soon. They're not going to get Legolas any further in his condition. Save that elf!! Author Reply: The answer if simple, and E3 are going to be very upset with themselves for not thinking of it. That is, btw, not a slap at you or any other reader, who can't figure it out. I purposely tried to confuse you and still have a viable answer to the puzzle. No, it has nothing to do with what Mordraug and his little snake did to Legolas in TWP. That is a neat idea, but I actually hadn't thought of that, or I might have used it. No violent pursuits? Think of all the angst we would be missing. :o) You are right. They aren’t going anywhere with Legolas. Whatever happens will happen right where they are. I'll put the "Save that elf!!" plea under advisement. | |

| I love the way the tree is holding Legolas like a throne - very appropriate. They way they are using the opportunity to confess lots of little hidden moments to each other is lovely and, if it weren't for the howler bites, this would be a beautifully peaceful interlude. As it is - I hope you've got some scheme in mind to save our heroes. And that it's not too far off, because Legolas is Not At All Well. Author Reply: I knew I had to do more than just have Legolas commune with the forest as a whole, so I 'gave' him a single tree to embrace him. The four are trying their best to act as they would in normal circumstances. But since it really isn't normal circumstances, I had to add the confessions. None of it can be easy, because in the back of their minds, they still can't forget what's happening to them. No, Legolas is not at all well. Unfortunately, his beloved trees can only comfort him; they can't cure him. | |

| This evening of ordinariness must have been of great value to these four. The spot does sound beautiful. Author Reply: They could think of no better way to spend their last hours than being together and remembering. If I was going to die in a forest, I'd like it to happen in a spot like that one. | |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOO! they cant all die...! *sniff...*soo sad....*sniff....*sob....poor guys...:( *sniff..soo sad....:( so not fair...:( Faith the slightly obssessed fangirl Author Reply: You? Obsessed? I don't believe it. :o) It sounds like I stirred up a bit of emotion. It's fun to hold the lives of four such popular characters in the palm of my hands. Such power! I think I may also be obsessed. | |

| Poor E3L. Hey, if the bodies and blood and everything of the howlers disappeared - maybe the nasties with which they infected our heroes disappeared too. All seems a bit doom and despair at the moment - most out of character for this bunch of intrepid daredevils. Still, give them a moment and I expect they'll start fighting the wind. And reaping the whirlwind. I'm glad they got Legolas to the trees. He'll feel better for that and it might bolster him until they get their next cunning plan developed. Author Reply: That was a very good idea. Unfortunately for our boys, I hadn’t thought of that. It is a bit gloomy at the moment. Facing death in battle is one thing, but facing it this way is much harder. I think they would rather go quickly, but then this way will also buy them some time---for what they have no idea. Yes the trees will be good for Legolas. Though they can’t heal him from the infection and the toxins in his body, they can certainly soothe his heart, mind and soul. | |

| NO! You can't let them all die! Find a way. Don't let Aragorn wash his hand with the blood on it. Have the trees help them. I can't wait for the next chapter. Author Reply: Yes, I can! But the question is: Will I let them all die? I'm afraid that it's too late; Aragorn's hand has already been cleaned and bandaged. Besides, there wasn't enough blood, and Aragorn didn't know how to use it anyway. The trees can offer only soothing peace, not a cure. | |

| The last line was really sad. I think it would be easier to handle the situation if Legolas didn't accept it, but because he does makes it that much more... sad. Its just a thought, but, wasn't the reason for Legolas not getting better is the fact that he swallowed the howler's blood? And if that is true than I don't think the twin's will die because they haven't swallowed the howler's blood. -sofia Author Reply: I don’t think Legolas wants to accept his death any more than the rest of them do, but when you don’t have the knowledge or the means to devise a cure, what else can you do? It is sad. You’ve hit upon a good point, but our boys haven’t figured that out yet. Just wait. :o) | |

| And again you are going to kill him? What has he done to you? Poor Legolas!!! But it's good, that he doesn't afraid dying... This part i really liked: When Elrohir reached them, the three on the ground mounted. Legolas insisted on riding alone. He had to assure Aragorn several times before the ranger would accept that the elf could stay mounted without help. “I have been riding since before I could walk, Estel.” “Yes, mellon nin, but you were not wounded before you could walk,” the man replied sternly. “Are you so sure?” Elrohir asked. “He has been injured so often, he must have had a very early start.” The remark earned Elrohir a very hard glare from the Prince of Mirkwood. However, it was hard to become angry at the youngest twin, since he was actually right. Legolas clearly remembered being injured in a bridge collapse when he was a small child. That little incident would remain his secret. It was very funny, tought this chapter was guite sad... I wonder what is going to safe them...Or i think that thy are going to be saved...I just hope it... But if Legolas would really die, i would want to see what, Thranduil would do to Aragorn...Would he throw him to dungeons or would he kill him? So many guestions, so many answers to get... It has been while since i last time wrote to you...My London trip was very good...I liked flying very much, but i must admit that i was guite afraid at first time... Author Reply: The only thing Legolas has done to me is to present a wonderful target for angst. Not his fault but not mine, either. :o) Glad you liked that bit of humor. No matter what is going on, those four can always find something funny to say. What Thranduil would do to Aragorn probably couldn’t be revealed on this site. It only goes to an R rating. But don’t forget, Aragorn thinks he’s dying, too, so no one would ever know what happened to them. I’m glad your trip was good. I love London. I also love to fly. | |

| It's an interesting thought that they're dying from bites of creatures who no longer exist. I wonder what was in the bite that created the illness in the elves and man? Are we talking bacteria here or some sort of parasite or mystical connection or what? Author Reply: I obviously also thought that was an interesting observation. After I wrote that, it made me think of the scene in Jurassic Park when the lawyer was eaten by the T-rex. Being killed by a creature that died out over sixty-five million years ago had to suck. I’ll explain all before the end. | |
