And so it ends. I'm sorry to see this ending, but on the other hand it was a long and wild and very enjoyable ride. Well done.

So, the Valar don't want to interfere with the secondborn, but are already plotting who they will meet first. Isn't that also interfering? It's probably to a lesser degree...



Author Reply: And so it ends, indeed, obsidianj. Thank you for sticking with the story and letting my know how much you enjoyed it.

As for the Valar not interfering... well, not directly as they did with the Elves, but they are still the Guardians of Arda and so they have a vested interest in making sure things go in a certain direction. It is the fact that they did not "interfere" directly with the Secondborn that many of them were swayed by Morgoth's (and later Sauron's) lies that the Valar did not care for them at all and did not consider them worthy of notice. So the Valar were in a lose-lose situation with Mortals no matter which way they went.

At any rate, I appreciate you taking the time to read and review this story. Thank you very much.

I have loved everything sentence, chapter of this story. I will miss it. What I am to read Monday's and Fridays now?
Thank you very much Fiondil. I really hope to see new stories from you soon, besides the long expecting wedding.
I love the reference to what is coming, and all the plans. And the Valars have learned the lessons, do not interfere in Atar's plans.

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing, Fantasia. I appreciate it very much and have enjoyed reading your comments.

I'm presently working on a sequel to "Elf Academy" so you might want to re-read that to remind yourself what happened before. I hope to be posting it after the New Year.

Well that wraps things up very neatly and gives us some insight into how the Valar think, now to inspire Turgon and company to hide in Gondolin and Finrod to find and excavate Nargothrond and find the Atani, for a start!

Now to load this on the e-reader and reread it.

What's next?

Huggs,
Lynda

Author Reply: Hi Lynda. Have fun re-reading the story. As for what's next: a sequel to Elf Academy, though we won't see it before the New Year, I'm afraid. Still, something to look forward to during the bleak winter months. *grin*

Thanks ever for reading, reviewing, and sending me oopsie alerts when necessary. Words cannot adequately express my appreciation for your friendship and support.

finished? Oh no, where will be my pillar each week?..*g*....
Thank you so much for this awesome story. It was, is and will ever be my favourite. Lai

Author Reply: All good (and bad) things come to an end, Lai. LOL! At least you have Wedding to look forward to and then by the time that is done I should be ready to start posting the sequel to Elf Academy, so you could always re-read that to remind yourself of what went on before.

Thanks for reading this tale and reviewing. I appreciate it more than words can say and I'm glad this is (for now) your favorite story.
