| ("Who —?" Eluwen began, a frisson of fear running down her spine. She had never seen Thandir in the throes of a vision before though he had told her he sometimes experienced them. But Thandir shook his head, the vision fading. "I do not know." He gave Eluwen a searching look, his expression sober. "You know what this means, don’t you?" ) No, I don't know! GAH! Watch, its something simple- but since its past 2 am right now, I am not really in the "thinking" mode. . .>_> Aw, poor twins. :) Author Reply: The answer to that is in the final sentence of that scene.... 'For as long as Arda endured, they could never speak of this to anyone.' What Thandir witnessed at the pool with Elladan has to remain their secret because Elladan himself will never speak about the experience or the pool with the oak tree to anyone except to one person and only because need will drive him to do so. Does that help? *grin* | |

| Wonderful story! (my second read-through, lol) Something jumps out from this that is intriguing me to no end...it's Thandir's statement about Elrohir never speaking of his experience at the pool except to another person except one; "and need shall drive him". Is this something you have revealed elsewhere, or is it something yet to happen? Celeborn's power revealed later on is also a special treat-he rarely gets such well-deserved attention! BC Author Reply: Thandir's statement, which is prophetic, has not been revealed in any other story, and perhaps will not be revealed. That depends on the muse. But it would be interesting to see that prophecy played out and who the one person is whom he will reveal the location of the pool. I don't think Celeborn gets as much credit or attention as he deserves. Even Tolkien wasn't too forthcoming. I was happy to show the power of this particular elf (we only ever see Galadriel's power in LOTR) who is kin to Elu Thingol and walked under the trees of Region with Elu's Maia queen. He had to have learned something of Power from them. | |

| The minders must have been rather concerned when E2 re-emerged from the safety of the dwarves' realm. They are building rather a reputation for themselves as - to put it mildly - reckless and irresponsible. Still - it started well. But they could obviously not resist a marker that said 'Stop. Do not Enter.' And now Elrohir is on the point of drowning/expiring from hypothermia and a mysterious arrival has - well - arrived. Love the mystic part where Elladan stayed his hand in tribute to the Lord of Forests. Author Reply: Oh, I'm so glad you caught that about the Lord of Forests. That scene rather surprised me. I didn't even see the great oak myself until Elladan did, but once I did I knew Who was watching over that particular pool. And really, who can resist anything mysterious? It's an itch that just has to be scratched, though I think E2 are learning (hopefully) that some itches are best left alone. | |

| Cliffie! Poor Elrohir. Author Reply: Yes, he does seem to get the worst of it doesn't he? Which is why I've always had a soft spot for him more than his brother. | |

| Aw! will they never learn! Well I hope they get out of this one okay(humm.....who is the mysterious voice?) well I am not thinking to clearly yet as it is Monday and I just woke up and found this to read,so I gotta get going(ugh!) will be waiting for more. Author Reply: Glad you are enjoying the story. As for the mysterious voice.... well, that's for the next chapter. Don't worry, I'll be updating and bringing the story to a close before the end of the week. | |

| Now that was just cruel to leave me with a cliff hanger like that. Another excellent chapter, as usual. I agree totally with Thandir,hazard pay is definitely warranted. Those two are a menace, actually I'm starting to feel a little sorry for my twins, talk about bad luck. Could you conjure up Legolas or Thranduil, there's just never a wood elf around when you need them. Update soon (begging shamefully) E Author Reply: They're not called "cliff hangers" for nothing you know! Glad you liked the chapter. DOn't worry, I'll be updating very soon and bringing the story to a (hopefully) satisfying conclusion. | |
