| This was a very well done fight scene, with both vivid emotion and movement. Bravo! Great tension leading up to the moment as well. This was an excellent phrase: "shoved the elf's fear down the paths of his memory". Author Reply: Thank you, Nightwing. I recall the pleasure and passion I experienced writing particular chapters, including this one. But the fight scene near matches the one you wrote a few chapters back in To See A World. That was 'kick-ass'ily good! | |

| I loved this fighting scene with legolas... How he fought, and tried with all he had, and his horse was killed... This is good, and keeps me wanting more...Great job... | |

| What was wrong was that – besides his breathing, the lazy flow of water, and the slight friction of the man’s clothing against the saddle as they moved – it was suddenly the only sound he could hear. It is so true that a 'lack of sound' can be scarier than anything else. Good build-up of tension, and I love how it reminds him of his forests and the initial dream of failure that he'd had. You're winding it all together very nicely. | |

| Oh... my! What a chapter! "...leaving an empty quiver and a mighty bow bereft of song." That, my fellow writter, it's poetry. Congrats on yet another wonderful following up... and keep updating fast :) this story is way too gripping to wait for the next chapter! Author Reply: Thank you, Ophium. I wanted to keep with the metaphor of a singing bow that Tolkien himself wrote about. Chap 20 will be here soon. Hope to hear from you again. | |

| Another wonderful chapter although the angst almost put me over the edge. You covered a lot of ground here for all of the characters. The captive escapes, Legolas loses his horse and possibly his life, and Aragorn witnesses a scene that he most definitely never wanted to see. I can't wait for the next installment. Thank goodness you don't keep us waiting. Thank you. Author Reply: I did have a lot going on in that chapter didn't I? :-) I think it was because I felt that the chapter would have lost its impact if I left certain elements out. Chap 20 will not be long in coming. Cna't say the same for the chappies after that though, lol. Thank you for your continued support. | |

| I've been lurking along through this story but now I just have to comment. Your story is quite riveting. It is well written and dramatic without going over the top. There have been many lovely moments along the way. But this chapter especially, having been set up by the previous ones, is just excellent. You set up the tension nicely at the beginning and then the action is wonderfully done. So much happens so quickly: the attack of the fell beast, the horse's death and Legolas' horror over it. His rapid firing at the men and subsequent hand-tohand combat were exciting and beautifully described. At the end, the anguish of Legolas as he falls and Aragorn as he arrives too late is a perfect climax to the chapter. Wonderful! Can't wait for the next! TF Author Reply: Thank you, TithenFeredir, first, for taking time to review, and second, for your kind words. I have enjoyed writing this story so far, but the last two chapters (and the ones I am writing now) were given special attention because there were various elements to balance: action, emotion, pacing, the perspectives of three characters, etc. It's gratifiying to know it has worked for some of you. I hope you won;t be disappointed with what happens next... Please 'drop by' for another hello when you can. :-) | |
