Oh, this is so heart-wrenching! It hurts to see this dream, knowing what will be. It is an even greater wonder that he did not kill Eol after this.... Author Reply: Celegorm apparently worked out a 'better' solution for this problem...although I cannot say whether he was content with the result. ... | |

| Oh my goodness, this was a good read. The dream was just so beautifully written, the meaning of the swan was so well woven into it: I immediately knew what it meant for him and why she didn't understood it. But of the end, the sundering and him feeling how Eöl claimed her (well that's my interpretation, the sudden darkness, a shield as if he was experiencing the darkness of Nan Elmoth), that was so devastating and I can only imagine, in this story what impact it will have on him and how this will determine the course of his action. I do have to admit that I would love to see the sword fight between Caranthir and Celegorm fully written, but the dialogue, observations, the conversations of the brothers: fantastic! Author Reply: The dream was the best way I could come up with at the time of writing to express some ambiguity. - Did Aredhel love him? Did she not? Why would she come? Why would she go? Not only Celegorm could not work out, - even if he could have been wiser, - but also Aredhel herself. When forced to face a feeling she might not fully understand, her choice was a simple 'no'. Just like when he was rejected he would not beg her to change her mind. These two were compatible in many ways, but they were the same stubborn and proud, and thus neither of them would step forward to explore the possibilities. - Or, she finally did try, but he misinterpreted it based on what he had known about her before. *sigh* | |
