| Sad and beautiful! You captured Elrond's voice very well, and I loved the water motif. Great writting! :) Author Reply: Water is important in Tolkien's works; and I think Elrond was reflective enough to note its significance. He is not an easy character to 'get', though he is one of my favorite Elves... Thanx for reading and reviewing! | |

| Sad,beautiful and poetic. Author Reply: Thanx for commenting, Linda; I'm glad it came out sounding somewhat "poetic"; there's a poetic streak in most Elves. | |

| Alas that she endured so much; and I rejoice that in the end he found he could bless the very water that divided them, knowing that it brought her to healing. I'm approaching that part in my own tale, and regret that I must deal with that grief. Author Reply: I've always admired Elrond; he seems to be both idealistic and pragmatic, and is always kind, but not a pushover. As a healer and as someone whose parents had gone to the West, I saw him sending Celebrian away in love, with hope, and therein came his blessing the waters that would bring her to those who could fully heal her. Thanx for reading and reviewing! | |

| I never knew why Tolkien ended Celebrķan's story in Middle-Earth this way. It always seemed so sad. And I bless the waters: the Bruinen for the joy we found there, and the Great Sea itself, that will take her far from danger into the West and the healing that I could not give her. May it be so. ---- Short, but it tells much. I enjoyed reading it. Calenlass Author Reply: It was very sad; but at least Elrond could hope for reunion with Celebrian. Elrond has always been associated with water - the Sea that took his parents away for ever and sundered him from his brother, the waters of Rivendell. I think Elrond is broad-minded enough to see the healing side of waters, as well as their more tragic effects. Thanx for reading and reviewing, Calenlass! | |
