| This was indeed a much more bitter revenge than throwing all the ice of Helcaraxe on him. I am curious though...did she intend it? Had she gone to Himlad seeking him for a new beginning? Will he ever know? Author Reply: Thanks, MithLuin. Like I said in reply to Rhapsody's review, I do not know if she intended it. Probably yes, but there were other things involved too. And unfortunately Celegorm would never know why she came to Himlad...or, he'd rather work out a conclusion by himself instead of asking her directly. | |

| For so long he feared the unevitable, losing her to another, knowing she would marry one day, but still his heart was bound to hers. I wonder what he would rather have wanted: her throwing ice bergs at her or piercing his heart so cruelly. His reaction to Maeglin: "you should not have existed", it leave syou wondering what indeed he could have stayed her and ride home directly once he knew she was on his lands. Since I know HOME quite well and what you are referring too (although much more about Celegorm can be found in other parts of HOME), in the way you wrote Curufin so far, his reaction later on to Eöl makes a lot of sense. One sidenote, this chapter needs the touch of a beta, I noticed several points where an esl writer-mistakes pop up (being one myself makes it a lot easier to find them, it's word order, punctuation and such), so please don't feel rushed to unlock chapters in a rapid succession (although reading this story is such a treat!). This being said, if you want someone to go over it, let me know. Author Reply: Oh Rhapsody, I would be more than happy to know about those grammatical mistakes! Sometimes it is simply impossible for myself to catch them...any beta reading would be most appreciated! I could not fully explain why Aredhel went to find him. Most likely it was a mixture of feelings. Somehow I'm convinced that she did have some affection towards him, but something in him made her always keep her distance. She was conflicted too. Yikes. It's really painful to see people misunderstand and misbehave - all the trouble seems to rise there, and all they have to say is: this is what I truly want, what does it take for you to feel comfortable to grant it to me? (I just realized his courtship words were "I don't mind giving you another [oath]"... what a pity, *stunned*) | |
