| Well, not versed in the Simarilion, I believe we've just met Sauron. Interesting introduction, Thranduil being such a strong character, Sauron's already taking his measure, no ring for him. Celeborn's relationships with Oropher and Thranduil are such opposing facets, I wonder what he made of his introduction to Legolas in FOTR? Author Reply: Indeed, we have. ;) I'm sure by the time FOTR rolled around, everything Oropher had said or done was water under the bridge. Other issues may have come up in the meantime, but we'll address them when the time comes. If I can set the scene well enough, I'd like to explore further Thranduil's relationship with Galadriel, which is the real crux of the issue. | |

| This was such a cool chapter, I really enjoyed it, it's just a pity that there is also a serious note to it. I hope Oropher and Celeborn make peace before the end, after all, blood is thicker than water and nothing can replace a cousin, they are almost as close as a brother or sister. At least Thranduil is trying to bridge the two together, but I agree with Celeborn that Thranduil will be a better king than his father when that time comes, I really liked Oropher in the beginning and I was sad at the fact that will die in the end but now that he is king he has become more cold and more distant, I hope that he will soon learn that he needs allies like Celeborn and Gil-Galad. I absolutely love Celebrian, there is not many stories with her in, that she is actually playing a role and Amroth is also such a cool character. Annatar doesn't seem like such a good person, I wonder what he will be like towards Thranduil once they meet. I am looking forward to the next chapter to find out. Author Reply: I'm glad you're enjoying it. ;) Wonder of wonders, I'm still on schedule, and the next chapter is up! And Thranduil has more than just family trouble to worry about. | |

| Good grief!! What's up with Glorfindel?! Is he somehow blinded by Annatar?! Does the good elf think this is a *friendly* Maiar emmisary from the Valar?! "But justice demands that one judge not by hearsay." What the **** did he mean by saying *that*?! Heavens, none of our *supposedly* lesser elves are in doubt, and we certainly know Celeborn and Galadriel aren't fooled. I'm shaken my head... Otherwise ;D a very welcome and entertaining chapter. I always enjoy Thranduil's observations of his kin. He has a big heart and there is a real connection between him and his younger cousins. Hmmm, no ones really asked him why he is not married yet. He was practically betrothed last time they saw him. Hmph... His talk with Celeborn emphasises how sadly ironic it is that he will indeed take up his father's crown. "She was everything he would have expected of a daughter of Galadriel, but he had the satisfaction of seeing that superlative Western beauty remade in the form of her father." ;) Loved that description! Had not planned on review until I got back in town, but was so happy you updated - and so shocked by Glorfindel! - just had to right this minute. Author Reply: Don't worry; Glorfindel is no fool, but he still has a few misplaced trusts at present. He'll have ample opportunity to explain himself later on. ;) I'm afraid Thranduil is still having too much fun living the single life to marry her just yet. He seems to think he still has all the time in the world. However, Lindoriel may soon contest this . . . ;) | |

| Oooo! I was all ready to comment how much I enjoyed seeing the comparison between Thranduil/Celebrian and Greenwood/Eregion (I absolutely loved that part) and then I got to the end with Sauron! I didn't see that coming though I suppose I should have. Thranduil actually seeing him! I hope you let them speak together in a future chapter (although that in itself might be enough to precipitate war, so very possibly you dare not). This was a great chapter! Author Reply: Thanks! ^_^ Oh, of course they have to speak. There are a few loose ends Annatar wants to tie off. ;) | |

| Hello, Coriel, I was wondering when you'd be back. I understand that you must be "dying" in Christendom. At my school, I haven't been faring any better, which is why I haven't been in contact with you for so long ever since spring break. ^^ Pardon me for being ever constantly repetitive, but I must mention this every time I read a chapter. It's so...joyous, I guess you could say. In slightly grim situations you are still able to mix in a little humor, though it is hidden in there discreetly, and though it may not be noticable to some people, I can detect it. =) Apparantly, Celebrķan has never sat upon the grass before if she can order a servant to bring chairs. Sitting on the grass has indeed a lovely feeling (except when it's wet and it gets your behind all wet), because it's soft and comfortable in a way. Aha! Poor Thranduil. Imagine his shock when Glorfindel told him that he had wanted to meet the prince. Well, since Glorfindel had been since the first age, Thranduil would feel something like honor and respect to meet him, and feel as if his rank were nothing compared to someone alive for so long. And as Glorfindel says, Thranduil should enjoy Eregion while he's here. No way of knowing what lies in the future. o_O Celebrķan dancing with Thranduil! Now that's just too cute! Now, of course, having no idea of Celebrķan's age, I would assume that she would be way shorter than him. Now imagine that. Hmmmmmm that seems very frivolous and playful. Uh oh--the moment of suspense...Annatar. Now, we LoTR obsessors know that Annatar is really Sauron. But, these people from the Elven realms have no complete proof that he is evil, but they do feel suspicious. The Lord of the Gifts. Not a very impressive name for one who will try to dominate over Middle-Earth using cruelty int he future. I wonder what will happen... *plays suspenseful music on the organ* Okay, okay, I made a mistake in the last chapter. I tried telling you about everything, but unfortunately school has complete dominance over my life. So I PROMISE you right now that you'll get my email about the same time as this review, depending on if you read this first or that first. And seeing your reply for another review for the previous chapter--one week updates? Oh no, I couldn't keep up albeit it's almost the end of the school year. But hey, I'll try. Even if I don't review I assure you I will definitely read your story because it's just too good to miss! Hearts, Lady Saruman ^^ | |

| Yikes! I was wondering when he would show up! Wonderful chapter. Author Reply: Thanks. ^_^ Annatar is going to be a challenge to write, that's for sure. | |
