| I have enjoyed the entire excellent story so far & sure wish you would write faster & finish it because I feel like I'm clinging to the cliff by my fingernails! Keep up the good work.

| Of course, as we all know, there is not a single guilty person in any prison in the whole of the US (perhaps the world, for that matter). So Malbeach's repentance only invokes so much sympathy. I am very excited that the shows up here as thoroughly beaten--does this portend good news for my Elvenking and his armies? I'm so excited that things are beginning to look up (for some people, at least). Still, I miss Bandy. You have no idea (okay, you probably do) how much color and life he added to your stories. That Hobbit vernacular and loyalty and wit... I miss him terribly! Author Reply: Don't worry - I haven't abandoned this story!

| Call me bloodthirsty, but I'm glad Malbeach died a slow and horrible death! I did feel some sympathy for him though. If he had really had no choice in his actions, then to be freed from the enchantment and to come to the awareness of what he had done would be enough to drive any sane person to despair. I'm not fully convinced he had no choice in the matter though and as for Renna - I'm looking forward to seeing justice doled out to her. Poor Durfinwen - I hope there will be a way for her to come to terms with what has happened to her without fading. Author Reply: Don't worry - I haven't abandoned this story!

| A fitting end for Malbeach, I think. Like Legolas, somehow I found myself pitying him. Perhaps it was his grief at what he'd done. Yet, I'm still glad he died a very painful and not so quick death. “Anything?” sobbed Dúrfinwen, her voice muffled in his tunic. “You will give me anything?” “Yes, anything, Little One,” said Legolas earnestly. She drew back then, and pushed away from him, her face angry. “I want my purity back,” This part was heart wrenching. Legolas's attempts to comfort her just tore me up and knowing there is simply no comfort for such wounds. Only time and seeing that those who love her still love her, I think, will be the only balm. I can't help but wonder too, if her insistence that her name is Durfinwen is in a way her choosing to turn her back on her human heritage. It just breaks my heart to see the lively and spunky Durfinwen brought so low. While I know her spirit isn't completely broken, seeing her like this is difficult. And I'm not even going to say much about Legolas catching himself looking around for Bandy. *weeps* A very sad chapter. I hope Renna's death is much more gruesome. Isn't that bloodthirsty of me? And I can't help but keep wondering about Kaimelas, Thranduil, the dwarves.... I hope chapter 30 isn't too long in coming. :) *passes tissue box* I will be so very glad when the tree spawning is over. At least trees don't have sex year round. I wonder if elves have allergies? Can you imagine living in a forest at this time of the year? *sneezes* Author Reply: Don't worry - I haven't abandoned this story!

| Well, I have to say that wrt Malbeach, I have rather mixed feelings, not to mention some lingering confusion. Perhaps it is the antihistamine haze, and I need to reread the chapter a few times, but some things are still unclear to me. If Malbeach willingly gave himself over to evil (that is not entirely clear; if Mukh could coerce others in his presence, I think it is not inconceivable that he could ensorcell someone and maintain them in such a state even AT a distance - consider movie verse Theoden under Saruman's influence), then perhaps he deserved his end. Yet his wailing in this chapter seems to hint that IF he did voluntarily give himself over to Mukh (in the sense of a one time act of will, an inverse act of accepting salvation, if you please), that somehow he was unaware of (or at least uncaring of) the evil nature of his deeds while he was under the worm's sway. (DID Malbeach voluntarily give himself over to the worm's service - or was he ensorcelled? If so, why - was it really all for the love of (or, as he put it, lust for) his wife? Did he have any notion of what serving the worm would entail? How responsible was he for his actions once he came under Mukh's sway - does saying "yes" to ensorcellment absolve you of any guilt for consequential acts - or does it make you responsible for all of them? Were any of those acts truly his, or were they Mukh's desire acted out through him? His apparently lustful designs on the male Elves - was that all the Worm of Morgoth's doing too?) Interesting questions all... perhaps the abhorrent Renna will fill in the blanks for us? I have absolutely no doubt that SHE is thoroughly, totally guilty guilty guilty, and I would not expect to see any cries of contrition from HER. I gather that there has been at least one day between these last two chapters... that being the case, it was a bit surprising to me to see that The Talk between Legolas and Dúrfinwen hadn't already taken place. (I had my hopes raised there for a second when Legolas offered her half or more of his possessions... sounded almost like a prelude to a marriage proposal there, for a bit. Sigh.) I am wondering how it is all going to work out for her now. Legolas didn't seem to be at all surprised at the assertion that she is Princess of Dale (where did he learn that - the gap between the chapters, or did he believe Malbeach's rants?) - yet I cannot see her taking up any position there. (The leadership has followed other lines, and unless all the royalty of Dale has been wiped out, it would seem that she could no longer make a claim. More importantly, culturally she is an Elf, and her destiny (as Radagast implied) is the eternal home of all Elves (Valinor).) Oh well, the usual plea.... post, post, post. (And where is that contingent of Dwarves? They better have some food with them!) Author Reply: Don't worry - I haven't abandoned this story!

| Well, one down, I'm so glad that he is dead; I suppose that he was under the worn influence and he really regretted his actions at the end, at least his sons’ death, but I'm glad that he is dead. I wish a terrible end for his wife, sorry, I have no sympathy for her. Now, my last comment was short and I was re-reading the other comments and I want to say that I'm still supporting Legolas/Durfinwen romance, I remember that we gave you our opinions about that some time ago and most of the reviewer were in favor of them together, it is just my opinion, I can not picture her with the wizard, I have being thinking in Legolas and Durfinwen together for a lot time now that it is so strange to even consider the wizard, Oh well, it is your story and I will read anything that you write, but for now I'm happy that they have survived. Can wait to see the other ones...I want to see Renna paying for what she did. Thanks for writing and to your beta too. Author Reply: Don't worry - I haven't abandoned this story!
