In Shadow Realm by Legolass	3 Review(s)

Oh sweet Eru, an update- just in the nick of time! (I'm in the middle of a meeting, ABOUT meetings, how is this possible. I'm starting to wish I had been possessed by the forgotten.) After reading the chapter I see why you named it hearts unfurled. As always your by-play between Legolas and Aragorn moves one to tears. Finally, finally some one asks Estel if he was scared, I mean just because the guy is king....I think that is one of the more touching scenes you have written between those two. Now about Fierthwain, please tell Gimil I said to just chop his head off and be done with it, as with most bigots his big mouth is really starting to tick me off.(and if I call some one a "wargs behind" in this meeting, I'll get locked up for sure) Happy new year to you, thanks for the wonderful start. Your fan, Eliza Author Reply: Lol - you and your meetings, Eliza! And this about meetings, too. Glad I was able to 'save' you for a while. :-) Yes I think Aragorn is vulnerable to fear too; he is human after all. Good to know you liked that tete-a-tete between those two - thank you. :-) I'll pass your message on to Gimli. Maybe he can stick Fierthwain's head in a warg's behind instead, hmmm? :-D May 2006 hold less meetings for you!

Aaaaaaahhhhh drooling all over the place like the filthiest warg Sunset is soooo much more beautiful when there is an enchanting elven profile in it! :-) 'Beautiful, mysterious, and dangerous' - one can hardly disagree with that, it only depends upon your loyalties, as Gandalf so wisely pointed out. 'A simple matter of declaring them forgiven', methinks that is a tad too optimistic. The phial and Lord Celeborn, that's Heavy Armour to back our friends up. Celeborn made a very impressive entrance, and I'm absolutely charmed that you included him. What roles are they going to play, huh? bouncing up and down It might actually be a good thing that Aragorn admitted his fear to Legolas. (Spelt his name wrong in my last review, did I? Guess whose fault that is... ;-) It's better to drag it into the open - whatever's lurking in the dark can grow uncontrollably and assail you with so much more force (talk about nightmares!). giggles I love that 'more cheer in a graveyard' quote - it's movie-verse, isn't it? I don't remember it from the books, but it's a good one. That Fierthwain has a very loud mouth, bigger than his brain, actually. If he tries the patience of his king any further I suspect his cousin might have to peel him off the wall - I wouldn't even be sorry to see that... So you encountered one of my distant cousins? giggles Be warned, a rodent's kin is huge and widespread - and I have told each and everyone of them to spy on you and your plot bunny. But there have been no reports so far, the lazy lot. Guess I will have to wait for your update, sigh... ;-) Author Reply: LOL! trying to imagine a beautiful, furry rodent drooling like a warg Oh, we loves our elfsies don't we precious? :-) A romantic sunset with a heavenly elf = a formula for swooning. As for the roles Heavy Armor (sounds like a rock band) is going to play - hmmm... oh yeah, they will... oh wait! you're not supposed to know yet. so- shoo, tell your kin no peeping. :-) 'more cheer in a graveyard' - yes from TTT the movie. I love it! I thought it would be clear to all, so I didn't bother to add a note about it. I may go back and do it. Somehow I don;t think we've seen the last of Fierthwain yet. Do you? ;-) Thanks for the review, cuddly rodent. Happy New year!

Well, you probably remember what I thought of the first half of that chapter... PURRING I think I forgot to mention that I also like Hamille's and Gimli's anger and protectiveness. They really get along well, don't they? ;-) I really don't like the attitude of these men - I hope these prejudices are not going to cause problems. suspicious look at author If anything, this first part of the chapter is even more beautiful now. I LOVED the last sentence, how they are sitting there, shoulder to shoulder, and Eärendil rising above them... blissful sigh I have alway been fascinated by the Paths of the Dead (bookverse), and I always wished Tolkien had not only told us about it in hindsight. I'm really happy you lead us there again! rubs hands And don't you dare change any plotlines and tell us about it afterwards! g I can't believe you used that "more cheer in a graveyard"-quote - I just watched TTT yesterday night! I think you could quite easily convince me that you're a mind-reader. LOL! Aragorn is being "charming", hm? giggle I'm really glad he's in the company of all those elves - and one grumpy dwarf. huggles poor dwarf Aragorn better had a good response for this fool, otherwise I had a mind to borrow Gimli's axe and answer him myself... grumbles If they don't want the elves in their village, I'd graciously take them in... ;-) purring Well, I think I can live with that answer... happy sigh Hm, Fierthwain could be trouble. glowers winces at blood-curdling wail It seems the Dead have taken notice of Aragorn's presence. This was a WONDERFUL chapter, Legolass, and I'm looking forward to the next one and another meeting with the Dead. :) A melted, happy, blissful, PURRING Wet Puddle :D Author Reply: I can hear your purr all the way from two oceans away, Tinu. :-) Change plotlines? You mean, as in not go to the Paths? No - that won't change. THey'll get there in the next two chapters. Only time for a short response, Tinu - gotta get to work. Thank you for dropping in. Happy New Year!
