We Were Young Once ~ II by Conquistadora	6 Review(s)

I am a bit curious about Malach and Elemmire as they really are a great couple. Hope to hear about them more. Thranduil's reaction to dwarves is awesome and I love to watch that he is more open-minded than Oropher. Lindoriel is wonderful and I am mesmerised by the development of their feelings and the fact that first Thranduil loved her like brother and was do unsure what to do. This idea was simply brilliant. I wasn't sure anything until the moment you decided to reveal it. Oropher's fear of his wife's wroth is awesome :).

Then we get all those relations mentioned in your post.This is a special property of Pythagorean triplets of the form (3k,4k,5k)If you examine the Pythagorean triplet (5,12,13)we see that this property namely sum of cubes equals cube of semi-perimeter does not hold.

If we do a measurement on potsiion and then wait for some period of time to do a second measurement can we find our particle in a potsiion which is causally disconnected from the previous potsiion?

Oh dear, I know I am really late with this review, but I have been off-line a while. Wow, what a great - big - first chapter! Actually, you could have done this as two short chapters. But, I ain't complaining by no means! And I really like the quotes you choose to set the mood. Hmm, I think I'll just remark on some of the notations I made as I read through. The story is simply wonderful. I like your characterizations very much. Most of what I have to say are just stupid nitpicks and imho... like... Ered Hithaeglir should be just Hithaeglir. Yeah, it's a ridiculous thing to even mention. But heaven knows, I get obsessive over the insignificant details - and then blow it on the big stuff. sigh definitely imho, Ost-in-Edhil was not that close to Redhorn Pass, rather south of where it and the West Gate of Moria will be. Probably where the Sirannon flowed into the Glanduin, over two-days' ride away. You make me curious when you figure Celeborn and Galadriel were vassels in Harlindon if they were in Nenuial then went to Ost-in-Edhil. Perhaps after the destruction of Eregion? I yet take them one at a time. Thranduil being able to judge the Noldor as individuals will, I think, help him deal with the dwarves later when he has to. The whole scene with the young herald was wonderfully entertaining! The writing was responsible - as it should! - for creating such enjoyment. I will chalk up the less then adequate titles and formalities to the herald's youth. Celeborn would not claim to be of Beleriand, but a more defined affiliation, such as Doriath or Nenuial. Celebrimbor more like Galadriel. And only because it is a more formal title, I would expect Oropher Aran. Even though Adar Oropher is best said just like that. Thranduil's powers of observation telling him that dwarves were present in the city was great. His reaction were great too. However, I don't know that the Doriathrim were that unfamiliar with the Naugrim. They worked for the Sindar a long time first creating arms and then palaces for them. The elves would have perhaps disdained the dwarves and that was a reason for Thingol being victimized so easily. After that, there would have been reason to actually hate and not suffer the presence of the Stunted Folk. I fancy that you meant this Merethrond to be the one the later Merethrond was fashioned after. Thranduil and Lindoriel are incredible together. I dread her leaving him. So lovely to see Amroth again and a young ellon! The cousins' relationship is very endearing. They conversation and joking around so much fun to listen to. Amroth shows some aplomb by his introduction of Thranduil as Prince when it has only been claimed and not yet openly proclaimed. Somebody in Eregion realized what had taken place even in their midst, it seems. Once again, Thranduil's situation with the dwarves resembles that with the Finarfinionath. Can he deal fairly with those who did not kill his kin? His meeting with Nordri was very interesting. I like the cautionary lessons Thranduil is constantly forced to remember. Very nice that you used the term Gonnhirrim. Very few people ever do, even those that write Gimili stories. Ai, Belain! Ye Gods! I absolutely loved that! I really like that his people would continue to honor Elu Thingol even though our princes are ascending and he and all his greatness are gone. When I read this section I bounced in my chair, it is so close to where I am going in my own vision of new kings. It was strange to hear Oropher refer to the Lords of Eregion as 'new lords' and caution friendship with them. I mean, he and his are just the same as they. But, perhaps he would not see it that way. The dispensing of the crowns was another great moment so very well described and staged. I do so enjoy your writing style. I am not quite sure what you are going for with the 'Amon Lasgalen' term. I mean the Lasgalen part makes sense... Celebrimbor was very arrogant and difficult to pin down just from this encounter. You show Galadriel in the kind of light necessary for both Oropher and Thranduil to want to avoid her. That everyone was unaware of the other groups plans and movements was not so odd as it would be in our connected world. You made the revelation of the re-infestation of goblins (the ones that appear in chapter two certainly were not the caliber of Morgoth's orcs in Beleriand) very ominous and surprising. But by this time, how can anyone be surprised with the neglect of the Valar? They have muffed before and the Sindar had to get metal weapons from the dwarves to fight the left-overs of Melkor. The traces have been too plain to be misread. There have been no sightings and no one sent to confirm? Or did they not come back? shiver I like your use of Lords of the West, but got confused with Armies of the West. That was a term used in the Third Age, not the First or Second. Thranduil's restlessness and his reasons are conveyed very nicely. I like the revealing conversation with Coriel. I especially like that she is a mature woman that is not maternal to Thranduil. She is easy to identify with. I promise I will make it worth your while. Oh, I know this story certainly shall be. Well, I will get to reviewing chapter 2 soon, I hope. And I also hope you don't mind that I will. ;) Author Reply: Oh, goodness! Well, let's see . . . starting from the top: Regarding Ered Hithaeglir: gee, I guess you're right. I'll watch out for that. ;) Ah, you have discovered me. I'm still incredibly fuzzy on everything about Celeborn and Galadriel despite my attempts to research the subject. I did reread the applicable parts of Unfinished Tales for this chapter just to try and make some sense of it all. And as far as titles go, I really can't wait to get into Greenwood where formality among the Silvan Elves can be more easily fudged. ;) Regarding the "new lords" of Eregion: they were new to Oropher insofar as they weren't there when he had passed through the first time. He still regards his as the prior claim in that part of the world, so the others are "newer" than he is. Also, by this point he's not too keen on encouraging close alliances with anyone, much less with Dwarves and Noldor. "Amon Lasgalen" is a more personable fanon name I bestowed on Amon Lanc as the place where Oropher will center his reign. Eryn Galen is the broader name of the forest as a whole, and goes without saying. ;) By "Armies of the West" I meant the Noldor and Vanyar of Aman who came with the Valar for the War of Wrath. Anyhow, there it is. But now I have to get offline and stop tying up the phone. Certainly, feel free to review chapter 2. ;)

Oh good, you've started the second part! :-) I was wondering how Eregion would work into this tale and here we see right in the first chapter. I really enjoyed Oropher's attitude--he came so very close to earning the wrath of every lady in his party. So typically male. :-) And I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Serataron--I like that book and the notes left in it. But of course my favorite was Thranduil's interaction with Lindoriel and Amroth and especially the dwarf. And I would pay money for a view of Oropher's face when Thranduil says, I was making the acquaintance of a Dwarf, Father. That was classic! Great start to the new part of the story! Author Reply: Thanks! We're moving on, getting to the good parts. ;)

I feel the need to leave another review, since the sight of an empty review-thing makes me a bit depressed. Anyway, am awaiting an update eagerly, checking back regularly, and growing tired of filling in the future on my own increasingly. Have a wonderful day! And update! Author Reply: Well, thank you! ^_^ It may seem a bit ambitious, but I decided to go ahead and split up the different books just in case they end up exceeding the 150 chapter options. There actually might even be a Book IV. I'm working on the next chapter as we speak, and I don't expect it to take too long. So, here I go back to work!
