| A good resolution to the problem of the electively mute children. Now--to see what comes next! Author Reply: We shall see, we shall see.... | |

| How good to see more in this 'verse. I look forward with interest to both Olorin's quest and Frodo's time alone. Author Reply: Hmm, there's going to be a bit more of Olorin's quest than of Frodo's time alone (big surprise, with me | |

| More talk of forgiveness here. Ványalos's apology is more sincere than Olórin has heard before, and what is different is that more information and personal experience has led Vanyalos to more understanding. Also on the theme of forgiveness, Manwe will not allow the release from Mandos of those who do not understand and sincerely repent of their errors. It seems these three things are indivisibly linked: understanding, repentance and forgiveness need to be present for the restoration of right relationships. We'll see if Olórin's service to two lost elflings can shed any insight onto his own problems. Personally, I have always found that the best way to minimize my own distress (real or imagined) is to focus my energies outside myself. Would be nice if this worked for Olórin too. Author Reply: Well, it worked for Frodo in the previous story, so we will just have to see how well it works for Olórin! ;) | |

| MJ - What a delight to have you writing and posting here again. And, as usual, you are continuing your usual excellent quality tale into another chapter of the continuing lives of Frodo and Olorin. The new character of Helyanwe is very interesting. I can see that she and Olorin would make a good team. And I look forward to understanding Nienna more - her role is always rather amorphous and hard to pin down, yet so very important. I look forward to more chapters in this as extra holiday gifts as we approach Solstice, and I thank you. - Erulisse (one L) Author Reply: You're welcome, Erulisse. I'm doing revisions to the story before posting it (I started writing it 8 years ago, and it's been gathering dust from the block for 5), so the chapters may come a bit more slowly, but there are indeed more coming before the holidays. And Nienna will make her appearance in the next, so stay tuned. And thanks for the review! | |
