| Dang, when you said you were ready to post I didn't know you meant NOW! This'll have to be quick... I love Belas the Bellower. Somehow I don't think he realizes what he's up against this time, though. Although neither do Legolas and Daeron... I really like the easy camaraderie between your two young scamps. Their personalities are distinct but they are entirely comfortable with and trusting of one another. It's interesting to see their different take on the upcoming games, though - Legolas is much less cynical of authority than Daeron! He seems to take the Games as a necessary evil, while Daeron doesn't really see the point of being tortured for torture's sake. Love Legolas's line: "I know she is quite beautiful. Wonder why she is talking to Aldamir?" Hoot! That's a younger brother for you. And already snooping around where he shouldn't be... Well, I guess you know what kind of arrows to shoot birds with now, so my work is done. Even though I already kinda know where this is headed, it's fun to sit back and enjoy the ride! Author Reply: I puttered around with this last night and decided to bite the bullet and subject myself to ridicule. I had no idea that public humiliation was brewing over on your Lj or I might have waited. Two vulnerable moments might prove too much for my delicate disposition. Legolas and Daeron do have slightly different views of the games. I think Legolas is actually looking forward to going despite knowing that the games will be difficult. Daeron, on the other hand, sees no real good reason to be miserable if he can avoid it. Yeah, Legolas can't see for the life of him what a beautiful maiden would see in his brother. I can, but then, I'm a girl. An old girl, but a girl nonetheless. Yep, I've stored that bird arrow knowledge and it might just pop up at any time now. Thanks for all your help. Since daw's already pointed out one of my boo-boos this morning, I should amend my thanks to you for beta reading with a disclaimer that I can still screw things up even with you looking over my shoulder. It's a tough job even for a ranger. Thanks again for everything. Karen | |

| Well, how fresh and funny. Sounds like mischief is brewing, and Legolas and Daeron are just the pair to instigate it! Daeron is too funny! I laughed all the way through this first chapter. Daeron is quite expressive, isn't he? Can't wait for the next chapter. Belas's downfall and Alar's vindication. Bring it on, and let the Games begin (the Endurance Games, of course)! Great start to a great story, Karenator. Author Reply: Thank you, Brenda! What a relief to read that you found it funny! My sense of humor--or is it Daeron's?--is slightly warped at times and to find that others share this slightly deranged view of the world pleases me to no end. The games will be a little more than our little friends are expecting, but well, what fun would it be for everything to go smoothly? The whole story is written and posting should go off without a hitch. Though whatever Daeron and Legolas are involved in usually goes awry. Let's just say, I hope nothing goes to pot with posting. Thanks again for reading and reviewing. Karen | |

| I just love Daeron. His perspective on love, life and laundry is just so wonderful. And, hopefully, he and Legolas will manage to subdue the bellowing Belas without getting into trouble. Although I'm not holding my breath. Author Reply: Thanks, Bodkin. Belas is trouble on two feet, but the Mirkwood duo think they've got his number. Funny how people can fool you sometimes. Just when you thought you had everything under control.... As for subduing Belas without getting into trouble? This is Legolas and Daeron we're talking about, you know. They mean well, but things never seem to go as planned. I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter. I really appreciate you reading and reviewing. This story took me forever to write...just slow...but I enjoyed writing it. It pleases me to no end to know that you found it entertaining. Thanks again! Karen | |

| Oh goody! A new story of the adventurous duo and this first chapter aleady has me in chuckles and giggles. The dialogue, as usual, was very witty and entertaining. So the two ellings are a little older now but I don't suppose their penchant to get into trouble is any less. Looking forward to see what adventure/trouble you have in store for them. Author Reply: Hi Manderly! I've been working on this for so long, you'd think I was writing War and Peace. The guys are a little older now. The glorious teenage years--young enough to still embrace trouble as a pastime and old enough to really find it. I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter. I have the whole story written so updating should flow fairly easily. I've been pestering the ranger for the past week to beta and she's now exhausted and muttering something about spiders in her sleep. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm always thrilled to hear from you...in review AND especially when you post your stories. Karen | |
