| Oh frabjous joy it is spring and the snows and winds of winter are behind us. I liked the discussion of elflings in the midst of a war party. No tales where the elflings were the reason for the war parties since Elrond and Elros. Nice touch to bring history into this tale. Sardon must feel so close to Legolas because of Alagos. Then Legolas runs out of gas and cuddles with Tathiel and Rawien. He is sure that Rawien is a good elf now. Ellyth are still jumpy and haunted with bad dreams. There Nana has much anger at those who have brought this shadow to them and their dreams. Very powerful about the bond Tathiel has with the ellyth and Legolas. She had gladly given up the ellyth to their mother but the bond makes her ache with it's severing. I would think that the bond could never be wholly severed. She will always be a part of these three elflings lives forever. They have had their fea sustained and strengthend by Tathiel by her giving of her fea. Her fears and worries about relinquishing the prince to the king even though that has been her foremost thought through this whole ordeal. I would be afraid that this would weaken her spirit even more. Rawien is so patient he reminds me of Dobbin in Vanity Fair but he must realize that even patience must have it's reward so he will not let this go on forever. Your description of the four warriors making the elfling carrier was so funny. How long did it take Tathiel, four hours. It will take them days to get their act together and take it on the road. Rawien's horse has a good take on the carrier question. Rawien, Tathiel and Legolas belong to him and only him so there is no call for anyone else to fuss. He can handle this just fine. The discussion of how their clothes were ripped brought out new information. This type of disclosure will continue for awhile until they have shared most of what happened. They don't want to distress their mother but they will never be free of the pain until they share and then put it all behind them. This is a good start. Choosing rings for Rawien and Tathiel. What fun. And the shopping garnered some very interesting news. A wife and child are missing. Just one child? Hazad still up to us old tricks. The ellyth sense the warriors are up to something and are they ever. They will accept men's justice since the perpetrators are men also. Kidnapping is very seriously viewed in Dorwinia so they won't be let off easy. This could spare the ellyth, Tathiel and Legolas from ever having to confront the men again. Although having Legolas say Bad Man in court would soften the heart of the toughest jury. Well they are back and the orcs took care of things nicely. But Tal-Elmar died of his wounds. Only Hazad survived. Tal-Elmar did not deserve to die but misquoting a certain wizard some who die deserve to live and some who live deserve to die, but we are not the ones who judge and decide. I sure wish I could get my LOTR back from my daughter. Then I could quote accurately. This is another hardship on Tathiel to cope with this nice man's death. Anyway it is truly over now. They can to a certain extent put this all behind them. Legolas let Meren hold his most precious wolf. He is such a sweetling. And Galithon is weary of everyone mothering him and trying to heal him. He wants out of there. This is it, they have left the camp, he gets down on one knee and pops the question, she blushes and he gives her the ring and they KISS. It is a home run for Rawien. Legolas has to get in on the act also and learns that Tafiel loves Rawen. How romantic. They will never get rid of Legolas. Tafiel will always be his. This was a good, satisfying chapter. Lots more opening up and resolutions for everyone involved. It was great. I was so excited at all the happenings. | |
