| Gil-galad! I love Gil-galad. Thranduil would do well to listen a little more so he knows who the wounded elf is. His temper is typical here. We'd better hope he learns wisdom with age. Cuiell will be a good match for him, though. I love her curiosity. Maentew and Gildor are fun to watch as they inspect the "children" and remember events Thranduil and the others do not. Author Reply: I love Gil-galad, too! Curious, since we know so little of him... that is what makes him interesting I suppose. Thrnaduil will have to learn to listen, adnd he will have to become better than his father at that. It is funny picturing a young Thrnaduil under the the influence of such a formidably tempered father. Thank-you very much, Daw. | |

| What fun! They all show their good upbringing by setting aside the bickering when things get serious and use their some common sense. Yet, they are and remain youngsters. Cuiell is the scout, Brethil is the infantry, and Thranduil is the commander - and the little prince. "...our woods..." "Let them be careful instead..." *g* Being on their own, it is good they work well together. But, the woods are herding them too, it seems. Towards what? Maentew should recognize Thranduil if they come out from cover. That's going to make things interesting... Ha! His queen was a tough-girl wood-elf! ;D Figures! Author Reply: THank-you, Redheredh! Fun is what I meant when I started writing it, but then it became a pain..there. (it took a year to almost complete, how's that?) His queen was a tough-girl wood-elf! Speaking of writing backwards, these three appeared, unnamed and apparently much younger- in New Beginnings, and then Thrnaduil's wedding with the lively wood elf girl is mentioned in "They did not take root in that land" so they of course demanded to be there when I wondered when and how -and why- Oropher crossed the Ered Luin at the end of the First Age...and who he would have met on his way... ;-) | |

| I love this picture of the young Thranduil, not in charge but tending to dominate even so. I also like the idea that these three followed Oropher and are getting themselves deep in trouble. Perhaps they can redeem themselves with whatever they do for the strangers. Author Reply: Thank-you, Daw. These three went out for an adventure and are already getting far more than what they expected, as it usually goes with adventures... | |

| Fascinating story! You take us right into the action and keep the tension up with the warriors' worry over the wounded captain and the angry tress. Hopefully the Laiquendi will be able to help them. I look very much forward to next chapter! Author Reply: Thank-you, Lissa. There will be anext chapter very soon. | |

| I love the way this started off - fast, edgy and deliberately elusive. What a wonderful time the War of Wrath must have been for all those clashes of wills. I wonder who the captain is. :) Waiting to read more! Author Reply: Thank-you, Sphinx. One canot help wondering what was going on in the rest of Beleriand during the War of Wrath, while the army of Valinor fought Morgoth.. :-) | |

| This certainly is fast paced! Very enjoyable and exciting chapter. Who is the mysterious Captain? I want to know! Please, more! Author Reply: Thank-you, Tink! That was my intention so I'm glad that you let me know it worked! | |

| *g* Oh, you're just trying so hard to keep their captain's identity secret, aren't you! You barely let us in on Gildor, for pete's sake. The one real clue you dropped was that he is less than a yen old. Elrond? Or maybe Elros? :D I suppose it could be Gil-galad... But, why would the King be on patrol? Anyhoo, great beginning!! I loved the menace of the woods themselves and the elusiveness of the Laegrim. But, liked Maentew's automatic correction that he was an elf of Doriath best. Ha! Really now, Gildor, do all Umanyar look alike to you? ;D Yay! for Maentew! Fun to see him in another scrape! Which I expect he will get out of only relatively unscathed... Yay! for another tale from you! Author Reply: LOLOL I'm not "trying!" It's just the captain is wounded and not doing much for the present time so.. who cares who is he? ;-) I seem to write backwards (chronologically speaking) and Maentew has been insisting for months in telling his tale. LEt's see where it leads us. :-) Thank-you as always for reading and for sharing encouragement! | |

| What a terrific opening line! You caught my attention right away. I like the way the trees are guiding them and the "gifts" they're finding along the way. Author Reply: I'm so glad that you found the opening engaging! (For months it was all I had! :-) | |
