| I was so looking forward since I saw the new chapter alert! but time flies. I am so hooked by troublemaker Galithil that I cannot help wondering what you have in store for him. He is as brave and stubborn and mulish and foolish as it can be expected from one from the House of Oropher! The cave was really well done, tight and suffocating, and I am still fearing that they will be trapped in there... Not to mention what Dolgailon and his crew may have in store in there. I really love the children'svoices all along this tale. Now on to the next chapter! | |

| Is the boy insane??? Of course, he is the son of both his parents. And I can assume (I hope) that the story will need him beyond the point of the pair of them turning into two little skeletons in a hidden cave. But he will be lucky to spend the rest of his childhood chained to his wall. I can see how he is both exasperated by Maidhien and excited by her. She is definitely not like his young lady cousins. And I have grown very fond of Tulus. I do hope he manages to survive the cataclysm. He is making the right decisions - and his words to Legolas are both fair and encouraging. If, as Gilbert's father, he can acknowledge that his son was wrong and deserved whatever penalty will be exacted, he is actually helping Legolas see that however much you love your kids, they have to take responsibility for their own misjudgments. I do love your view of Legolas's childhood and companions. But I think the older members of the household will be banging their heads against the wall shortly. Author Reply: Hehehe. I love caving, but I do have the good sense to make sure someone knows exactly where I am going to be when I am doing it. Galithil is definitely being reckless. In more way than one. Maidhien is reckless in a way that Galithil never dreamed of--at least he has the restaining hand of 'what will my parents do.' Maidhien does not care about what little her parents say to her. Not even a little bit. She'll do anything. Galithil has to find that attitude exciting, even if she is an elleth who is just hovering over her very first friend. :-) Poor Tulus. He really has a rough time in this story. The net is closing around him from more than one direction in this part of the story and it is so unfair because he has changed. The adults are going to be banging their heads alright, but hopefully for reasons you do not yet guess. :-) Thank you so much for continuing to read and for the review, Bodkin! | |

| YAY! An update! I was so happy to see that you had updated! That was wonderfully exciting, Elliska! I can't wait for more. In typical fashion, Galithil is getting himself deeper and deeper in trouble, but a cave with a secret door-how fun! Author Reply: *Big grin* I am so happy you and others are still willing to read after such long delays. And I am glad Galithil and Maidhien's adventured were exciting. I love caving myself--I would have *loved* to find a secret door (who wouldn't, except Eirienil). ;-) Galithil is getting into trouble he will not recognize for years to come, but he is definitely getting into trouble. Thank you so much for the review! | |

| Oh man. I'm a little claustrophobic and I was breathing hard and feeling faint while they crawled through that little tunnel. But I didn't see the secret door coming at all. Great twist. Poor Legolas. He's learning a hard lesson. Author Reply: I know you have mentioned before that you are not fond of tight squeezes in caves, so I thought about you as I was editing this part last night. I used to love doing stuff like that. If any one in this story is a Sue for me, it is Maidhien. :-) I'm glad you didn't see the secret door coming. I wanted that to be a fun little twist (and it is going to be important that Galithil and Maidhien found it in two different places in future parts of this story). And poor Legolas--things will look down for him before they look up again. It is hard doing the right thing. Thank you so much for the review, daw! | |

| Poor Legolas! At least the puppies are pleased to see him. Maidhien remains a bit of a enigma (a Good Thing) whilst Galithil (and indeed all the rellies) struggle with the complexities of family that we can all recognise (if not exactly approve of). I think it is time I indulged myself in a re-read of the story/ies to date, thank you (I am very remiss at saying how very much I enjoy this Journey). Cheers! Author Reply: Yes, Legolas made a difficult decision and he is hating it right now. But it will pay off for him by the end of this story, so there is hope. And Maidhien will remain an enigma, and a very central part of this story, for a while. Thank you so much for the review. I am very glad you have enjoyed so far. There are only a few (depnding on how I divide them, 3-5 chapters in this story) and then I will be on to the next one, which is one of the darker stories in the series. | |
