Sadness of this sort affects not just Elrond, I see. Have seen so many ideas of what Legolas's family was like and why there was no mention of his mother. This, of course, is at least, a familiar reason.
Author Reply: And as can be seen here, Thranduil, being a quite a different sort of Elf than Elrond, isn't quite as forgiving and accepting of her choice-this is practically a divorce, he feels bitter and abandoned, and he just demanded-and got-child custody. Whew. Thanks for plowing through the angst again:o) |
