| Pushed to the end of their endurance. They lost their meat and have no one to buy food from with their money. The are in dire straits aren't they? But the title of the chapter gives hope that there is some good news coming up soon. No elflings have ever saved their own lives and those of the son of a king. That perked them up a little. They will have tales to tell when they get home. Legolas dreaming and his little leaf shaped ear. I read a discussion of which leaf would be used as a template for those ears. The choices got very bizarre and funny. But the upshot of the discussion was that the ear had a tip to it so that they were very different from human ears and probably somewhat pointed. His dream was sad. He has all these things waiting for him at home but he is hungry now and his tummy hurts. He is sad though not cranky and making everyone miserable. What a reasonable little elfling. He still says thank you for the shreds of what they have left. No more food. But now RESCUED!! In the very nick of time. That's always the most exciting. NANA'S here. Ethiwen angry because she sees her children are battle ready. They wouldn't have to be except for those who had stolen them away. Well that was a hard battle but they prevailed without too much loss. Poor horses though And Rawien was so romantic with Tathiel. I am not into romance too much but they both deserve some after all they have been through. I like the horses thoughts. Why don't they just ask me? And agreeing that no one can ride her right now. Bad Man to Rawien. Here we go. Things are going to be very strange for Legolas and maybe even the ellyth. They will have to get used to communal life now or again and that will be a change for them all. A good change for Tathiel who has born the brunt of all this. So Legolas has to get used to Good Elf and learn to trust that they won't hurt him. Too tired to trust right now and then when he wakes up he's not in the mood to be trusting. But his tummy is empty and he has other needs that have to be taken care of right now so he decides that discretion is the better part of valor and gives good elf a try on. So cute the prince trying to match Rawien's footsteps. No wonder elves cherish their elflings. They are just too sweet. Tathiel gets to let go now. Let others be strong and capable and she can just rest after her arduous ordeal. The ellyth have their Nana, Legolas has fruit so he is happy. He even says thank you again. Such a polite elfling. Oh he does get shy in the big middle of all those elves and his ellyth have to rescue him. Too cute. He got nice fresh meat, lembas and fruit. What a feast for them. Now we get the long and painful tale of their journeys. The dagger and what could have been but now ~It Is Over~. Well we get to see them go home through all those orcs but now they have warriors to protect and feed them. This will be much easier on them. What a great heartfelt chapter. We have been longing for them to meet up and now they have and yet we still have a lot to go before they get home to Mirkwood so our tale is not nearly finished yet. Good, I get so caught up I hate to see it end anyway. Although I do want them home and safe. | |
