| I love your play on words, such as “the ground and the sky began trading places” instead of his being dizzy. What an adventure for Estel. First he’s caught in a rainstorm and gets a bad cold, and then he’s caught in a snowstorm. As if that isn’t bad enough, he gets lost, falls off his horse and over the side of the mountain. What next? Yikes. I’m sure Elrond and Glorfindel are frantic with worry. Author Reply: And the adventure is only beginning and it only gets worse. *LOL* Frantic with worry doesn't begin to describe the elves' emotions, especially Ada's. Glad you like my wordplay, Tari. I try not to be too pedestrian in my writing as I believe even prose should have a poetic tone to it. | |

| Poor Estel – being sick is no fun, and he must feel bad for holding up the journey and all. But with all this wind and rain, it’s no wonder he got a cold. Well, at least he was with Elrond, who knows what to do and had the medicinal supplies as well. And it’s nice to see Glorfindel as a nurse ;) And of course, Estel has barely recovered and now you’re throwing him down a cliff or something ... evil author! Author Reply: It does help to have the greatest healer in Middle-earth around when you're not feeling well. *grin* The ultimate cliffhanger... throwing someone down a cliff. *grin* And I just get even more evil as the story progresses. | |

| Aha! I managed to identify the proper lullaby! I thought so! Maybe there is some hope of me learning Sindarin and Quenya some day after all. And he didn't listen to the wisdom of his horse--a mistake I doubt he'll make a second time. And Elrond was worried when he was sick? What will he do now that there will undoubtedly be a break or two? Author Reply: I thought it would be fun to try and translate a RL lullaby into an Elvish equivalent. I'm glad you were able to identify it without having to check the notes. As for what condition Aragorn will be in when they finally find him.... | |

| I've been meaning to get back to your tales for some time now. At last, a moment came - but not enough time - never enough time. Excellent beginning - I won't be able to get to the next chapter till tomorrow - but I'm going to be very upset that I have to wait. Blessings! Author Reply: After all this time I was surprised to see that I had a review for this story. Glad you are finding the time to read it and I look forward to seeing additional comments from you later. | |

| Oh, poor Estel, you fell off a cliff. They really should keep you away from cliff. Butt how are you suppose to know it is there, if you can not see if. | |

| I'm seeing a pattern with these titles... :-) They've had me humming a little tune as I read the chapter! And what a great chapter it is! Poor Aragorn - never ever been sick, but picks up a nasty cold from being exposed to some really icky weather! Luckily, he has his own doctor along with him, and a pretty good nurse, too. I am thoroughly enjoying the use of the herbs here, along with their elvish names. That is so cool! And the Quenya lullabye Glorfindel sings is wonderful. Of course, then you had to let the poor mortal fall off a cliff! Aragorn is really having a no good, very bad day! He falls off the cliff, and you leave us hanging on one! Very good, Fiondil, very good indeed! LOL linda Author Reply: Glad you're enjoying this Linda. The hardest part of writing this was coming up with song titles, at least, after the first one. I really had to dig into my repetoire for some of them. Trying to find appropriate herbs that were easily translated into Sindarin was also hard, but fun, as well. Keep reading, Aragorn hasn't reached Mirkwood yet! | |

| I am really liking this story,I knew there was gonna be some trouble,I can still feel Estel falling! What an evil cliffhanger! Please hurry up and post more Im sure he cant wait to get to the bottom! Author Reply: Hi Elflingimp, glad you are liking this story so far. As the story is complete (the last few chapters are being beta-read as we speak) there won't be too much of a gap between chapters. In fact, I hope to post a new chapter every day (like an old-fashioned serial), so you won't have to fall for too long. | |

| A cold and some broken bones? By the time they reach Mirkwood, he's going to be half dead, so it seems. Only the second chapter, and there's already a cliffhanger--can't wait for the next one. Author Reply: Or as my beta-reader put if when she read this chapter "á real cliff-faller!". Don't worry, I don't kill off my main characters too soon, no fun in that. | |

| A very promising start.....really enjoyable and you capture a young Aragon beautifully. I hope he survives his fall.........can't wait for the next chapter! Noor Author Reply: Thanks Noor. I was afraid I might have made Aragorn seem too young, but it's been a loooong time since I was 25 so it's hard to remember what it was like being that age — an adult, but not quite adult enough, as I recall. | |
