We Were Young Once ~ II by Conquistadora	7 Review(s)

The clash between Thranduil and Annatar is perfectly written. This scene mekes me wonder if Annatar predicts that Thranduil can be a worthy opponent just like Celeborn predicted he would be a better king than Oropher. I am a bit surprised that Glorfindel seems to trust him though.This story is just epic and visionary. It takes the series as a whole from being very good, to being great.I am in the seventh heaven you are going to continue.

So, Thranduil isn't part of the 'IN' crowd? He must be SO disappointed. I love the way the story is unfolding. This explains why Thranduil doesn't have a ring, and yet he is the last true Elvenking of Middle Earth. Author Reply: No, Thranduil never seems to be really a part of the foremost 'IN' crowd, though he occasionally gets his foot in the door. He IS his own 'in' crowd. ;) Somehow he and Treebeard would have many things in common.

My, this chapter was full of very nice exchanges! :D But, I did like the last with Celeborn for its foreboding a revolt - which Thranduil may be around to witness! Yay! Loved your descriptions of the dreadful pall Annatar can exert. That some suspect the worse and dare not speak it, else it be made true too soon... ominous. Author Reply: Thank you. ^_^ When I'm writing it can be hard to tell if the dialogue is coming across as it ought, but it seems to be doing a decent job. It's hard to do justice to all these incredible characters. ;)

“We know how to defend our own.” Bloody well right! And we know Thranduil proves that too! I'd say Sauron ought to be glad he was talking to Thranduil because Oropher would have intitiated the Second War of Wrath right there. Thranduil is lucky he's an elf because a man of similar temperment would have poped a blood vessel. Poor Celeborn. I'm almost afraid to know what you plan to have Thrandui do! Author Reply: Oh, it gets interesting, let me assure you. ;) Hehehe, "the Second War of Wrath" -- I like it. I mean, everybody knows Thranduil can defend Greenwood. Yet as I was writing this dialogue it occurred to me that they really haven't done anything to prove it yet, and Sauron knows it. Just writing it made me mad right along with Thranduil! Worse, the next time Greenwood goes to war will be the Last Alliance, and we all know how that fell out. Thranduil isn't even quite sure what he's going to do now, but true to form, he's going to do something regardless.

Do you know, it took me forever to figure out who Annatar is going to become. Um, I haven't read the books in far too long? I think so. Anyway, it's really wonderful and I'm happy you are updating. This is the only fanfic I read anymore, so...I check back really often. Make today a good day and God bless. ~silentplanet~ Author Reply: Really? Wow, that's a nice endorsement. ^_^ I've been having incredible brainstorms all of a sudden, so I expect the updates to keep coming. Writing "Annatar" has been a real challenge so far. After associating him with a huge roaring eyeball for so long, it's hard to imagine him having an intelligible conversation! Have a lovely week, and God bless you, too. ;)

very dark and i like how thranduil and celeborn can see through the Lord of Gifts Author Reply: Several others can see through him as well, and we'll come to them soon. ;)

Oh my giddy aunt! THAT is a very well done Annatar. He gave me chills! My hat's off to you! Author Reply: Thank you! ^_^ That's good to know. I was afraid he wouldn't be intimidating enough in the end. But we certainly haven't seen the last of him.
