History Lessons: The Third Age  by Nilmandra 32 Review(s)

I love the idea that all of the travelling Elves feel their great age slowly being stripped away. For all that they are ancient of days in Middle-earth, they are the kids and grandkids once they get to Valinor. It will surely do Elrond a world of good to be five years old again.

And how wonderful for him that he got a little tiny glimpse of Earendil! I think that was my favorite part of the whole chapter. That must have been a permanent hole in his psyche, always wondering about his biological father, and there's a little bit of healing right there.

Author Reply: I am glad you liked that part - of Elrond being a child in wonder again, and Galadriel being someone's daughter. Such experiences humble us and take us right back to our roots.

I was glad when Earendil showed up. I hadn't expected it - he was just there when Elrond looked up!

Wow! *sigh* That was beautiful. I'm speechless.

Author Reply: I am glad you liked it. I was a bit melancholy myself about the end, so I am glad it worked. Thanks for reading.
