Mortal Memories  by LOTRFaith 1 Review(s)
daw the minstrelReviewed Chapter: 8 on 1/10/2005
You have a pretty grim picture of the twins after their mother left. It's as if they went mad for a while and then came back to themselves again.

Legolas is slowly getting to the bottom of what's bothering him, I think, but I'm not sure that he has a lot of choices for what to do about it.

Author Reply: I remember reading one story that was about Elladan and Elrohir after their Naneth left. I cannot for the life of me find it again, which I would love to read it again, but I can remember clearly the anger that stood out. The bitterness against the orcs for what they had done. I cannot imagine finding my mom in a dark cave and seeing her beaten, battered, bruised and with the horrible knowledge that she was raped. Just the thought left me scared and angry. So I tried to turn that emotion into my story. I don't know if it worked, but I tried:-)

Yes.. Legolas is getting to the bottom of what is truly bothering him. And no. He doesn't have a whole lot of choices before him. Actually he has two choices. Accept it or deny it. So far he's been denying it. Now... If I can just find inspiration to write about him accepting it... :-)
