| Hello Fiondil! Alassiel has been telling me how good this story is, and now my torment is drawing to its end. That was a very good description of Glorfindel's death. I imagine he really wouldn't have had much time to think about it, a mercy to be sure. How frustrating to know there is a door but that you cannot open it. How often have I beat my head against my own past mistakes, wishing, begging, pleading with God to let me go back. How appropriate that this would be the first lesson he has to learn. Turgon gets an angry glare from me because of the fact that he would not let any of his host leave to turn back. What right did he have to decide their futures for them? I would love to know what Namo said to him when he got to Mandos! Speaking of my friend Namo, what a beautiful description of him, both physical and of his gentleness and understanding! I could feel poor Glorfindel's terror through your words, but Namo was so understanding and reassuring. I hope we will see more of him during this journey. Well begun, mellon nin! Author Reply: Wow! I don't think I've ever had such a long review before. The knobless door does indeed represent Glorfindel's past life to which he can never return. As for Turgon, you may wish to read (if you haven't already) my story "The Other Balrog-Slayer", which I posted last week, to see what happened to him when he arrived in Mandos. I'm glad you enjoyed my description of Námo. And don't worry, he plays a major role in this story, so you'll be seeing him quite often. | |
