| Sorry I missed this earlier. It is interesting to think about what temptation there might have been for others in Imladris. The Ring would wish to be wielded by powerful people.. and that would likely include the sons of Elrond, especially if It couldn't have Elrond. I am very curious to see Elrond's reaction to this whole thing. Author Reply: I think an elf - especially one with influence, and a trained warrior - would suit the Ring far more than a hobbit. While writing this, it was interesting to think what temptations the Ring would use to ensnare someone like Elrohir. I wonder how it would tempt the others? | |

| Oh my! I hope that Elrohir will be able to figure out that it was not his brief instant of listening, but his *rejection* that counts. Keeping on telling himself "It had not happened" is good, but he also needs to *believe* that is what counts. I hope his father can convince him. This is excellent--I look forward to seeing Elrond's reaction... Author Reply: I wanted Elrohir to have rejected the Ring on his own - not to be interrupted before he could do anything, which is why Sam came along after he'd come to his senses. That will be an important point later, as will Elrond's counsel. | |

| Sanity wins, as does love. And, yes, Elrohir needs to tell his father just how deadly he has found the Ring to be. I certainly wouldn't want to be around the thing! Author Reply: Yes, thankfully, Elrohir's own sense prevailed. But Elrond needs to be warned - as do the members of the Fellowship (though we know Boromir won't listen ...) | |

| What a frightening and humbling experience for Elrohir, one he'll never forget. This whole scene (and his inner turmoil) was beautifully done. Author Reply: Elrohir probably thought that only the weak-minded could be swayed by the Ring, and that it would never happen to him. He feels guilty, too, for wanting what the Ring showed him at all. Glad you like this! | |

| Elrohir is very brave to tell other people about his temptation. He doesn't hide it away. I suppose that's a sign that deep down, he trusts his father and brother. Author Reply: I think that even in his current Ring-induced depression and despair, Elrohir knows he can't really hope to hide anything from Elladan. And he still has enough integrity and honour to know that Elrond must be warned that the Ring is still hard at work, despite the consequences he expects. | |
