| It is not for nothing his childhood name was "Estel," after all. Author Reply: No, it is not. And do you think Gil-Estel is a coincidence? ;) | |

| Oh goodness, I'm not sure who to feel most sorry for, Aragorn or Earendil! Aragorn, really, but Earendil is in such a helpless place, being ever able to see but not to actually do anything. And I do hope that tomorrow Elladan or Elrohir or Glorfindel or any stray wandering Rivendell denizen comes across poor Aragorn. I don't know that he can make it all the way there crawling, but then again... this *is* Aragorn we're talking about! Looking forward to tomorrow's installment! Author Reply: Thank you, Cairistiona, I think you can feel sorry for both, because, well... you see: the next chapter, and still no stray wandering Rivendell denizen... | |

| Read all three chapters and finally have the time to review. Oh My Gosh! You're killing me! Poor Aragorn. How much more are you going to put him through! Not only are Earendil's narratives breaking my heart or giving me a heart attack, but your description of Aragorn's harrowing plight is so realistic that I feel like I'm actually going through it..... "There is haunted expression in his eyes; they glisten like the eyes of a trapped bird....Heart palpitations and a feeling of dread; "His teeth are clenched, and his eyes shut – I can almost feel his ragged breath and drops of sweat as they run down his temples, the fingers ever so slowly slipping from their hold, the trembling muscles on the verge of their limits. His strength wanes"....Made me sweat and fatigued; "Slowly, painfully… one inch after another"... with a broken leg!...AAARRRGGGHHH! I am grateful that you are updating daily, otherwise, a long wait for updates would definitely kill me. Author Reply: I'm really glad if I managed to write the story so vividly, but, on the other side, identifying yourself with the story too much can be harmful to your health... =) I really have no intention to kill my readers =) | |

| Oh my goodness, if you're going to make him crawl all the way to Rivendell on his hands and knees, I don't think I can bear to read any more! Well, OK, I might just drop by tomorrow to see how he's getting on LOL! Author Reply: Ok, just so without engagement, drop by if you are passing around tomorrow, and we'll see how much of the way he's going to crawl... =))) | |

| Your delving into earendil's psyche during these times of passing by are wonderfully depicted. His hopes and fears and his love for his distant son. beautiful to see. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I'm glad that you like my idea of Eärendil, and his view on Middle-earth. I tried to bring him closer from the distant sky and show his thoughts and personality. | |
