| I had to stop reading for a moment after this chapter, to cope witht he sadness and emotions it conveys. Chosing mortality is one thing, but watching someone you love doing that choice must be much harder, and watching it twice... Author Reply: I'm humbled and pleased to know that this moved you so emotionally, Mirach. Yes, how hard it must have been for Galadriel.... Thanks so, and thanks also for the patience you've exercised in awaiting a response to your comments. The end of March was a rather hectic period for me. | |

| I really feel sorry for Elrond here. Galadriel may be almost all-knowing, but Elrond has had to watch those he loved most leave him; and is only trying to protect his beloved daughter. At least Elrond is not locking Arwen up in a treehouse! A fascinating symmetry here. Elrond, by sending Arwen to Lothlorien, practically guaranteed future romance between her and one of his mortal fosterlings - if she had stayed at Rivendell during all of Estel's time there, it is likely that she would have viewed him as a dear little brother, having known him from infancy through childhood and into his teens. Nicely done! Author Reply: I know, Raksha. By allowing Arwen to spend so much time with her grandparents he did make it possible to meet Aragorn only after he became a young adult, which strengthened the likelihood she would in the end find her heart stirred by him instead of accepting him as a younger sibling as the twins must have done. Thanks so! | |

| I loved this.A great look at the links between Luthien and Arwen. Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked it, Linda. Yes, Galadriel must have felt very strong deja vu when she realized that her granddaughter might well be drawn to love a mortal. | |

| Oh my, it's a special, bittersweet gift to be able to see destiny's path... and know that it can't be avoided, whatever the grief or joy it might bring. Author Reply: I so agree, Shirebound. How terrible a thing it must have been to have foreknowledge of the probable loss to the Elves of these two remarkable daughters of the their people, both blending the nature of the divine, the firstborn, and in time the mortal. Thanks so for the feedback. | |
