| I must admit, I'm slightly worried for Estel. I'd always wondered about Aragorn as a kid, and I think I'm going to enjoy this story. I sense an argument on the horizon between Estel and his "brothers". Question: Wouldn't he see Arwen as his sister if he saw Elrond as Ada and the twins as brothers? Author Reply: Well, I hope you do continue to read and enjoy this story. There is definitely cause for you to worry over Estel as the story continues. As for the argument, you'll just have to keep reading to find out what happens between Estel and the twins. As for seeing Arwen as a sister, he didn't meet her until he was twenty, so he would not have grown up thinking of her as a sister. For some reason, Elrond and the twins never even mentioned her. In the appendices, Tolkien mentions that Elrond came to see Estel as a son, so in my mind, it makes sense that Estel would see Elrond as a father and the twins as his brothers. I imagine that Aragorn did have many mixed feelings when he fell in love with Arwen, knowing that she was the daughter of his foster father and the sister of the elves he saw as his brothers. But all of the stories I write that include the twins have Aragorn being their 'little brother'. | |

| Why do I get the feeling that some disaster is about to befall him? I hope the twins are on hand! Great start. Jay Author Reply: Well, your feeling is quite correct, disaster is looming on the horizon. But disaster for whom? *eg* Thanks. | |

| The young do this SO often--try to sneak out unobserved. Author Reply: Yes, Estel will soon discover why his actions might not have been his best idea. | |
