| What a great job you do with this family. They seem so real in themselves and in their interactions with one another. And how they love Legolas. Of course, who can blame them? Author Reply: Thanks.... I'm glad they seem real:-) It's been a rather difficult measure to achieve and I'm glad someone sits up and takes notice;-) It's kind of like effects on a movie... You don't want the viewer to notice the effects so you have to do them so well, that the viewer doesn't even really pay too much attention:-) And who couldn't love Legolas? (Besides those who don't like him?;-) Namaarie~ | |

| Great chapter. The Rivendell bunch better hurry up and get those herbs back to Legolas, he is in serious need of them. Great chapter. It is nice to see some joy during the sorrow. | |

| Once again, all the siblings behave beautifully in character, with each of them distinct. I can imagine how shocking Legolas's shaved head was. Actually, that would be shocking on a person who had long hair. | |

| I knew that was the translation, but I thought his parents were keeping something from him and it really was a scar. No? Author Reply: Well........ *snorts* Thanks a lot Daw... Now you've got my mind working and suddenly I need to write something about Thalion... :-):-) No JK, excellent question and perhaps in the next chapter you will find out;-) | |

| Yay! Lothgil and Thorinell are finally kissing. Thranduil is wicked to torment them like that. I love strong Lomion who can command but also take care. If you have told us the source of Thalion's scar, I have forgotten or missed it and now I am curious. Legolas sounds as if he is in bad shape and I am worried but probably not as worried as Thranduil is. Actually, all of your Thranduilions are charming. Author Reply: lol... Yes they are finally kissing, but hey Thranduil needs to have a little fun once in a while;-) I'm glad you like Lomion. He is very much like my older brother;-) About Thalion's scar... lol... *Thalion shook his head. “Ith not a thcar, it’s a birthmark. Here.” He loosened his tunic at the top and pulled it to the side to reveal a two inch white puckered line of skin. “Everyone thinkth ith a thcar but I athked not only my Adar but my Naneth as well. Ith a birthmark, not a thcar.”* Let me translate: Thalion shook his head. “Its not a scar, it’s a birthmark. Here.” He loosened his tunic at the top and pulled it to the side to reveal a two inch white puckered line of skin. “Everyone thinks its a scar but I asked not only my Adar but my Naneth as well. Its a birthmark, not a scar.” Yes Legolas does sound like he is in very bad shape, but don't worry. All will be alright in the end. I hope... (blushes) Thanks. | |

| Hi. This is my first reveiw even though I've been reading off of this site for monthes. I guess you could call me one of those "silent lurkers" that I know are out there. I just wanted to say that this has always been of my favorite stories on the site and still is. This chapter is great. Keep going, I can't wait for the next chapter. Author Reply: Hi! :-) I know exactly what you mean. I like to be one of those 'silent lurkers' as well... but thanks for popping out! :-) I'm glad you enjoy my story and hopefully I can get the next one up in a more timely manner. Thanks for reading! | |

| Wow! Sometimes my life is so busy that I wonder how I find time to live! The description of the land at the beginning is quite well done! It's a vivid picture. ;-) Ohh, poor baby! I guess Lomion does need to pound it into Legolas' head one more time! Hmm...*ponders how in the world something four feet tall can change the future* Who knows...I can't think of anything. ;-) Now, we could get really philosiphical (ahh! Spelling nightmare!) and debate whether or not the future is something that can be "changed" per se, but rather something can be merely "shaped"...but let's not. At times it bugs me when people say that something changed the course of history...sometimes it seems like that doesn't really work. But then, people are always telling me not to read so deeply into things. ;-) Ohh. Ouch. We've got a hurting Elven king on our hands! The wording in those passages really portrays his emotions very well. I had to kind of skim some of those paragraphs...it was painful reading. Well done, but still painful. I recently wrote a fic dealing with a child's innocence, and this really clarifies the point in my mind. The idea of the story was that children shouldn't know that people kill each other out of hate. But (this story was set in Greenwood), when darkness threatens, children have to understand evil in order to survive in an evil world, right? That was the gist. *blushes* Um, anyway, those paraghraphs reminded me of that. That was a bit off the point... ;-) //Thranduil knew exactly what he was doing in front of him.// That was actually kind of funny...I don't know if it was supposed to be, but it really kind of was. Thranduil's anger is so real. The affection is very touching. ;-) *gasps* Oh! Twins?!?!?!?!? *sqeals* How exciting! Hmm...pipeweed, huh? I hope Thalion's getting better, but it sure is hard to tell with you. ;-) *shakes her head* Thorinell, Thorinell. Looking forward to seeing what's going to happen now! Ohh! Poor, poor Legolas! *sob* It just never ends, does it? Yeah! I know what it's like to live in a place that no one's ever heard of before. I live in this tiny place in Minnesota called Circle Pines, and I really have no idea where it is. ;-) A lot's happened since I last reviewed, not least of which is that I managed to fall head over heels for this guy in my youth group...;-) It's not fair though, he's three years older than me! I was at the library, and I step out of the aisle and there, standing at the little automatic check out thing is this guy. I said hi, and we started talking, and all of a sudden I can't say a single coherent thing...oh well. He probably already knows I'm a complete idiot. We both walk out of the library, he walks to his *car* (I'm not even old enough to do *that*!), and I'm just walking down the sidewalk, slapping my forehead, berating myself because I'm not quite as ditzy as that conversation probably made me sound...*blushes* Sorry. Just had to unburden my heart. ;-) More please! (Wow! Record-long review!) Author Reply: Whew!!! Sorry I haven't replied sooner, everytime I try, I get interupted... So here we go again:-) Well... Think of it this way... History is defined by those who have changed the world for better or worse. Take for instance William Bradford. He defied a king, sailed away and changed history as we know it. Without William Bradford and many others, we might instead be French or Spanish. Or George Washington and the others who defied the king. They changed the course of their world, if not we still might be under the English throne. Sure people have shaped the world, but others have changed the world. Some for better some for worse. Frodo changed the evil course of the world but destroying the One Ring and in doing so, the light returned to the land. But... My opinion shouldn't shadow your own;-) Yes, very hurting Elven King... It was extremely painful to write and I found myself rather depressed after that particular chapter. Your story sounds very intreging. (SP?) Do you have it posted somewhere? Because I would like to read it. And it is very true... in order to defeat evil we must understand it and then we can pinpoint it's weaknesses, strengths or anything else. lol... Yes Twins! No... Legolas' torment won't end for a little bit yet... Healing is the hardest... lol.... I've done that before. Make myself look like a complete idiot around a really cute guy... But oh well. I figure I'd just better wait for the Mr. Right.. otherwise there are too many cute guys to choose from;-) Neato... We might live only a few hours away from each other:-) Now I'll have to look up Circle Pines:-) Whew... Record long review and reply me thinkith... :-) But thank you so much! I really appreciate it! | |

| anouther great chapter! i thought this one would be the last one because you said that they were getting back to the castle but i was wrong! i cant wait for the next one! Author Reply: No, not quite yet the end. I am thinking I will cut off the story a little earlier and then do a sequel later on.... I have not been able to really focus on the story and get a good chapter written, but we shall see;-) Thanks! | |
