| What a nice chapter! Lindomiel is very teasingly, especially around her husband. You made me laugh at lot. Thranduil's brother and Amoneth are great together. Author Reply: Thanks for the review. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was out of the country and in the mountains with no Internet access. I like Aradunnon and Amoneth too. I'm glad they are turning out ok in this for you. | |

| I'm quite surprised that Curunir managed to survive long enough to become a thorn in the flesh of the Fellowship. I would have thought that the smug four-asterisk person would have found himself the victim of a boot at the very least - and, considering the number of people he has managed to offend, he would have made an adequate Saruman-skin rug for them to wipe their feet on. I mean - he has offended every Wood Elf in the Greenwood, Galadriel must be looking forward to the prospect of stamping on a part of his anatomy that presumably exists even in wizards. Only enormous elven self-control enabled him to survive to be a problem to their children. On the other hand, I'm glad to see that Amoneth has learned to be a more-or-less responsible grown-up member of the family. And if you're not allowed to get away with a bit of saucy behaviour on your wedding day, then when can you? She managed the meeting with Nali very well - and was sufficiently appreciative of the skill involved in the design of the Stronghold. It seems a little ominous, though, that she and Aradunnon will be living so far south. I hope the author has no plans to eliminate these two newly-weds. Though talking of families - good to see a bit of pressure on to provide the kingdom with some royal elflings. Who will, of course, be much better behaved than those belonging to anyone else. Because there is no expert parent to be compared to one who has no children!! Good magic doors. Very impressive bit of Thranduil the King there. Author Reply: Thanks for the review. I'm finally back and get to read them and respond to them. Yes, Saruman might not have lived through this experience if he really had done it. He did set everyone off, didn't he? I just see him as naturally overly sure of himself. I vaguely remember Gandalf commenting about his arrogance somewhere early on in a conversation with Frodo. Aradunnon and Amoneth have shaped up ok. Living in the south will be dangerous, I think. Because there is no expert parent to be compared to one who has no children!! **Snicker** Exactly! I'm glad you liked the doors. I worry about doing Magic!Thranduil but I love him. | |

| Excellent handling of the matter of the doors. They seal but don't need Thranduil's direct presence to open. I like that. This chapter really wraps up this part of Thranduil's like, the forced journey he makes to the caves. And there's resolution to most of the personal issues, including the traditional ending of a wedding. I like it. Author Reply: Thanks for the review Daw. It's nice to come back from vacation to them. I wrote this part about the doors soon after reading the part of the Silm that describes Melian's Girdle and it says, "none thereafter could pass against her will or the will of King Thingol." I based this on that thought. The doors would be tough because requiring Thranduil's presence is complicated. I studied Medieval Lit--there almost has to be a wedding for something to seem 'ended' to me. :) I'm glad you liked it. | |
