I've been remiss in leaving you reviews for this! I've told you before how much I enjoy these unique tales. Seeing the events of M-e through Earandil's eyes is fascinating, and I love how you weave the current with the past. And yay, you sneaked in a teeny reference to Halbarad! That was such a small glimpse of him but absolutely perfect. I can well imagine him looking skyward as though for the last time. Thanks for including that! :) Author Reply: Oh, but you was telling me in the emails what you liked, when correcting the story! I didn't think you would review it again, so thank you very much! I'm really glad you liked Halbarad! I just finished the poem I promised you about him ;) http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/b2mem2010/viewstory.php?sid=85&chapter=1 | |

here is another honor, quiet and selfless, doing great things in secret Oh, this is lovely! I'm currently posting a story where Eärendil and Sam will interact (in a sense), and it's wonderful to imagine that he comes to value the Shirefolk through sensing a humble gardener's courage in the dark. This really warms my heart. Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima! You call me. I am here.... I feel my light in your hand I never thought about whether or not Eärendil might 'feel' that call. How marvelous! Author Reply: Thank you very much for the review! And you write about Eärendil? Yay, I must find the story! =) I've never thought about what he could perceive through the Phial either, until I began to write this story, and now I'm finding out that he is quite personally involved in many events of the War! It is fascinating to reveal these connections... | |

Oh, this is my favorite chapter yet! It brought tears to my eyes! How wonderfully perfect: When all other lights go out, mine will shine. Not in the Phial, but in your heart. It is called Hope, and it tastes of strawberries.... "Joy like swords"-- you have the knack. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it, I remember you asked if we'll learn what Eärendil thinks about the smallest members of the fellowsip soon - so here is the chapter that I promised you ;) | |

That last image of hope tasting of strawberries will remain with us ever, I think! Yes, the light in the darkness shines, and in the end defeated the evil of the day! Author Reply: Thank you for the kind review, I'm glad that the image lingers... | |
