I've just read the last two chapters. I had wondered where this story was leading. The way you ended it, with Legolas weaving sort of a spell with is song and with all the others joining in, seemed to me not only a wonderful conclusion but a lovely way to make your point. I *think* the point is that in spite of their differences and inevitable conflicts, that group was bound together by multiple ties of friendship, kinship or love. Also, it was a magical way to finish the celebration. Very nice. ~TF |
