A Teleri Treasury  by Rhyselle 4 Review(s)

Yes, they return, but how many might have been lost, and how many aboard those ships lost with them. After the loss of the fleet and those who sought to protect them last time, that worry must gnaw at them all!

Author Reply: Aye, it does, which is why Olwe continues to count ships, and will demand an immediate accounting of his people who sailed. There will be more grieving to come, unfortunately, but for Olwe can also look forward to eons of peace until the Dagor Dagorath at the end of times.

Great! I'm glad the Eagles as Messengers of Good Tidings was put to use here!

Author Reply: It just seemed so appropriate that Lord Manwe would send word in his own inimitable way. :) And while the Teleri are rejoicing that their loved ones are back safe, Olwe is also very aware of the deeper meaning of the victory in regards to the safety of Arda. Thanks for being a faithful reviewer!

You have are certainly succeeding with your intention to write beautiful and polished words. These glimpses are delightful indeed. You show small snippets with the hint of the greater whole and you imply emotional upheaval with a light touch. The seaside imagery is wonderful.

Author Reply: Virtuella, I want you to know how humbled I am by the praise you have heaped upon my ficlets. Your encouragement makes me want to write even better, and it is very reassuring to know that the ficlet format isn't off-putting, as some folk prefer a long, straightforward story. Thank you so very much for being such a faithful reviewer.

YAY!!!!!!! The ships have come home! Alaita Eru! ^_^ Oh, how wonderful for Olwe and family to see their people safely return!

Author Reply: It's a joyful time... but there's that thread of anxiety as you look to make certain that everyone comes home, knowing that at least some did not.

Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer, Kaylee!
