| Catching up...the descriptions in this are great and the conversations really show hoe deeply affected all these elves are by everything that has happened. This chapter was, to me, a really sad mixture of beauty and grief. Strangely powerful. | |

| The poor kids. They have seen so much more than any adult would wish them to have experienced. The dance may well bring them to some accommodation with what has happened - but removal to Ithilien does seem a good idea for quite a few of them. At least until their scars - and the Greenwood's - have a chance to heal a bit. I love the thought of Legolas taking the traditions of his past with him. And he seems to have come to terms with Ithilien as his future. Must be hard on Thranduil, though. | |

| Ah, I missed this. That's what I get for not reading much fanfic lately. Well, its terrific. I love seeing that mask again with a grown up Legolas! And the glimpses of culture that you give us are just fantastic. | |

| Phew - I had to take a breath and step back for a moment. One of your most beautiful chapters. The dance rehearsals were incredible. I loved the timing! Perfect. Thank you for a most delightful moment of peace and beauty and joy. | |

| I love your descriptions of the dance and the music, and the emotions it stirs in the dancers. It's clearly exhausting, skilled and demanding, and has a primal energy that links to the elves' bond with the forest and its creatures. I really like the idea that the tradition will be continued in Ithilien - Legolas and his people will have their own, unique celebrations, but maintain the best of the Greenwood's festivals. Lovely.

| What a wonderful chapter! The Masque was the perfect closure to all that the Wood Elves have suffered all these years. Yes, sacrifices have been made that have affected the oldest to the very young, but there is now a sense of renewed hope. And it makes perfect sense now why so many have followed Legolas to Ithilien. I think Legolas has come up with the perfect solution for those teetering between staying and sailing over the seas. | |

| The ending of this chapter moved me. Death and rebirth and dancing in the dark (oh wait, that's Bruce Springsteen). I love little Faron. I want him to get a new big boy cup. | |
