| I wish your bumping into each other scene was in Jackson's movie, Thundera. I would have loved to see it. Not that I really needed to see it with my eyes, your writing allowed me to see it mentally so wonderfully did you portray it. Putting the reader inside Legolas' mind during the Moria debate was an interesting choice. I liked it. We hear so little of Legolas' thinking during the debate in the book, just his one line. It was nice to read an interpretation of what he was thinking at the time. Good story beginning! LKK | |

| It is a night of catching up, and I only now realized I hadn't reviewed this. Or if I did, I can't seem to locate my review. In any case, it is hardly a bother to write a review to the sequel to one of my favorite-est fanfics of all time. I'm sure this one will be equally as wonderful. I can't imagine how it couldn't be. I see little has changed between Legolas and Gimli from when we last saw them. They are still...wary. That shouldn't surprise us, should it? The slights still exist in their minds, and apparently any grudging respect would just as soon be put aside. I wonder if a warg attack will change that at all. At least now the weary travelers have an idea about what Aragorn and Gandalf have been arguing about. Nice description of what was running through Legolas' mind when Moria was brought up. I wonder if he would have just hit the road right then and there had the decision been made on the spot. Maybe Moria will look better in the morning? In the meantime, poor Legolas must get over his apprehensions and prepare to fight off some beasts in the dark. I take it the next chapter will take place on January 12, (Night). Can't wait. Author Reply: Oh yes, good call. The next chapter is indeed January 12, 3019 (Night). Is my writing really that predictible? ;) As for Legolas and Gimli, that grudging respect is still there, but so is the animosity, and Moria is really only going to make it worse. For a bit. But in the end, a few events are going to lead to something that might almost be considered tolerance. But there's still the outbursts on the borders of Lothlorien to be considered, so no firm friendship can be established until *after* they pass into Lothlorien. | |

| This could be dangerous! and I hope you don't alter it too much so that someone gets hurt ;) You do a wonderful job staying with the books! I really appreciate taht! I'm looking forward to more and hope it isn't long in coming ;) Thank you for all you have written thus far! Author Reply: Hurt? Define "hurt." ;) Seriously, though, I'm so glad you appreciate my effort to stay with the books. I've gotten a lot of pressure to veer off and include things from the movie, but I just can't do that. For one, it feels like a cop-out and for another...I just love the books too much. So I'm very grateful that someone else approves of what I'm trying to do. Thank you for your review! | |

| Ah! *Ariel sits and cracks her knuckles in anticipation* There's more! Goody... Author Reply: Your enthusiasm is making me blush! I hope I don't disappoint. And I hope you can hang on to that enthusiasm for the rest of the story, because it's going to be an interesting on, full of ups and downs. | |

| I was thrilled to see that you had added to this story. I loved the first one, and can't wait for more of this one! Claustrophobic elf alert. I have a feeling the upcoming chapters will be very interesting! Author Reply: Well, I certainly hope I don't disappoint you! And yes, the upcoming chapters should be very interesting, not only for readers but also for me. They're proving to be a challenge. Fortunately, I like challenges. I just hope that I'm able to meet these challenges and also provide a good story! | |
