| Hello! AWW, I love this! Sweet Nimrodel, I was so mesmerized and so into this that I was startled when I came back onto my own world. I love the wolf, very much. 'Tis my favorite animal and it had my favorite color, black. Was the color of its fur symbolic to its nearing death? I hope it survives, though. I'd be truly saddened if it died. I really hope to hear more of it. Namarie. Author Reply: I'm pleased that you love this one, too. I know that feeling. It's happened to me often. I love wolves, as well, which you may have guessed from my pen name. I chose the color black just as a contrast to my name, so people wouldn't think I had inserted myself as the wolf. I couldn't really say what happened to it, since I wanted to end the story the way I did. I leave the wolf's fate up to the readers. | |

| By the end of this I was hoping that the wolf would also survive, but I recognise that he had acknowledged a true "kindred spirit" in Legolas - and that it was only the arrival of Those On Horses that saved the elf. Lucky Legolas. Poor wolf :( *gusty sigh* I do hope there is a sequel. Thank you! Author Reply: I think that both Legolas and the wolf recognized a kindred spirit in the other, and it was a comfort to them both. Legolas was indeed lucky, though it was nice to know that he would have been all right with his fate, even if it had been death. I love the way you said Those On Horses. :o) As for a sequel, I'm thinking of writing a second chapter to this story, if I can find the time. Thank you. | |

| I loved this - I really felt for the loneliness of Legolas' situation. The part where Legolas discovers the wolf lying on his legs brought a lump to my throat. I was so glad they were able to provide some comfort for each other. I was very worried that you were going to kill Legolas off, especially as there was no Aragorn around to come and rescue him, so I breathed a huge sigh of relief when Legolas hears the hoof beats. I know the story is complete as it stands, but I'd love to know who his rescuer is and how he recovers. Perhaps you could weave it into another tale by having him describe the aftermath to Aragorn? Or am I just being too demanding? :) Author Reply: I'm glad you loved the story. :o) It's hard to think of a wood-elf being lonley in a forest, but he knew the trees couldn't help him, and he felt bad that they were sad for him. I was hoping that the scene with the wolf lying on Legolas and the two of them offering each other comfort would come across as a tender moment. I never intended to kill Legolas, just make the readers - and him - think so for a while. Evil me. :o) I have received enough requests to write more that I'm thinking seriously of doing just that. It may take a while, though. | |

| *Knew* you were going to throw in a twist at the end! Loved it, though - not too syrupy, and certainly a huge question mark hovering over how it will all end. Nice to see his gradual journey towards acceptance. Author Reply: I'm glad you weren't disappointed then and that you loved the story. If I get the chance, I may write another chapter to tie everything up. I felt that Legolas's character would allow him to accept his fate rather than rail against it. | |

| I really enjoyed this story, and it got one of my votes for the Teitho contest. I adored the ending, when the wolf rested its head on Legolas's lap. And the deus ex machina with the hoof beats was perfect! Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks so much for your vote. I needed to have physical contact between Legolas and the wolf in order to show their deeper connection with each other. I'm glad you liked that part, as well as the ending. :o) | |

| What an elfy story, White Wolf. I really like the way Legolas comes to terms with his death in the woods, regretting only the pain it will cause his family and friends. For a while, I thought you might be going AU on me and really killing him off, so I was glad when he heard the hoofbeats. I hope the wolf has an easy death, with an elf's comforting hand on his body. Author Reply: I'm glad you liked that part. As a warrior, Legolas had faced death for so long that I wanted him to be at peace in the end. Knowing his character, I believe he would think of his family and friends no matter what kind of death he faced. Sorry I 'scared' you. I killed Legolas in one story and just couldn't do it again. :o) I love the way you expressed the kind of death the wolf should have. I agree. It was good hearing from you, daw. I hope to be reading another of your wonderful stories soon. I miss Eilian and the gang. :o) | |

| He is saved. One fic from you where Legolas dies is enough. This cries for an epilogue or a follow up story. It is Aragorn, right? What about the wolf will Aragorn be able to help him or ease his passing? Have you thought of a longer fic built around this one. How did Legolas end up in Fangorn in the first place. Maybe it is Gimli instead of Aragorn. A well written story. I eagerly await the next installment to your other story. "Trolls" Author Reply: Yeah, I totally agree. Killing Legolas once is definitely enough. I just might write an add-on to this story. I haven't decided for sure yet. It isn't Aragorn coming. Remember in the story Legolas says it's the first day of Spring in the year 2795 TA? That's a hundred and thirty six years before Aragorn was born, therefore it can't be Gimli, either. I don't really know who it is, and won't, unless I write more. :o) Legolas was sight-seeing in Fangorn. (See the first two paragraphs of the third section.) "Trolls" will be updated next week - hopefully. | |
