| And such would indeed have been a most surprising mode of transportation indeed! Author Reply: LOL Yes. Who would think that an Eagle would deign to carry a messanger like a saddle horse? (Certainly it had never crossed Erestor's mind...) I sort of thought of that when reading the part of Silmarillion where Thorondor helped Fingon free Maedhros by carrying him up the cliff where Maedhros was hung by a wrist. :) Glad you liked it. Thanks for the review! - Rey | |

| Great, GREAT second chapter! Your description for Fingon was perfect and I loved it, especially how he reacts to Erestor. :) The only disappointment is that I can't read more! ;-) I am looking forward to more chapters from you, and soon. . .(hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.) ;D Hope everything is going great! -MP Author Reply: Ah... Updates... Sorry, it can't be helped. I have sent the third chapter to my beta-reader to be fixed two days ago, but the returned one is not in my E-mail inbox yet. Well, then again, beta readers are not exempt from the evil that is procrastination. :) I experience it too while betaing other's work. LOL I'm glad you are excited about this story, though. (Me too!) I am always afraid that one day a reader will find that Fingon's sharp change in mood makes the scene look disjointed... After all, it is my own opinion of it. Always, when someone commented about that scene, I was both curious and glad that the statement was not there. Weird, no? *shrug* Dunno... Mmm. Before I go into a more confusing rant about self pity... Thanks for reviewing. I will post the third chapter (called "Substitution" ;)) as soon as m y beta has returned the chapter to me and I have re-editted it. I beg for your patience... :) - Rey | |

| Hello! Well to start off, I love it! :) I love your idea and how you describe the characters - very well done! And while you are conveying the troubled times, you are also giving more hope to the situation, I like it. :-) Great job! Author Reply: Thank you very much! :D I tried my best to present both the troubles and some hope/faith, but I didn't know if it worked... Now I do. ) I'm glad the message came through. Well, if not, then the words in the summary would have been in vain. :rueful: Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you like it. Hopefully you will be with me in the story until the end. ;) - Rey | |

| It is so good to see you join this site! I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this. Will you also post your other stories? I like how you make the reader see the story through Erestor's eyes. I could very vividly imagine his feelings. Author Reply: Thank you very much for the warm welcome! Yes, I will post other stories, as long as they meet the guidelines of this site. In fact, I have just posted a one-shot about Aragorn. There are too few stories about Erestor's youth; most of the existing stories which have him as the main character are about love... so I made this. :) Glad you like it so far. Hopefully the next update will be available soon. (Foolish me. I forgot that I could reply publicly here. Well, consider this as a reiteration of my gratitude, then. *grin* Ah yeah, and a newby's mistake too. LOL :P) - Rey | |
