A wonderful beginning, Virtuella! I can hardly wait to read on :-)

I reckon this is a brilliant idea for a story. It brings a glimpse of what is going on behind the main stories, and what roles little things play in those events. The description of Sam seems spot on and very much reminds us of why Sam was vital to the final quest. I look forward to the rest.

This is really lovely, Virtuella; a great concept! We rarely see any of the behind-the-scenes people in Lorien; and I so like this characterisation of Galadriel's handmaidens - ladies of power and wisdom themselves. And the language is wonderful.

One tiny error that looks like a typo - One for an elf, one for a dwarf, two for men with the statue of great warriors. Shouldn't it be stature, not statue?

I'm looking forward to the rest.

Author Reply: Thank you! 'twas not a typo, but my insufficient English...

How lovely! Very true that Sam was more than nurturer of plants and flowers, for he had nurtured his beloved master's heart just as much. I love the blessing. His soul never did shrivel even if Frodo's suffered so who abandoned hope, but indeed Hope never abandoned him. I look forward to more of these blessings.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Thanks very much!

What a sweet, loving idea, to weave a blessing into the threads...

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

"May his spirit be fed by the memories of goodness and beauty, no matter how dark the shadow or how deep the despair. May hope grow in his heart like a mellorn tree, with strong roots and flowers untouched by winter.”

This is a beautiful series already. I greatly anticipate each cloak as it is woven and blessed.

Author Reply: Thank you! I greatly anticipate how I'm going to manage some of them ... ;-)
