| A stunning ficlet in all senses of the word. Stark, evocative, with powerful imagery. There's a strong sense of Celebrian as daughter, mother and beloved member of this powerful family, their grief at this sudden horrible twist of fate. Nice foreshadowing with the broken glass. Author Reply: I'm so glad you find it that way, Raksha. Ever after, the moment when they realized Celebrian had been taken must have been etched in the minds of each in lines of grief and horror. From the moment I found my image of Galadriel clenching her hand over the shards of glass in my mind as a result of reading the prompt for the day, the ficlet wrote itself. Thanks so for the comments! | |

| What a terrible moment for Galadriel and her family! To have that knowledge and yet be unable to do anything to stop those events from taking place...... sighs. Did the phial break as a warning of the attack, or was it just a coincidence that her gift shattered at that exact time? Poor Galadriel and Celeborn, I'm sure that they never forgot this attack and its consequences. No doubt the same was true for Elrond and their children.........As always, your words paint the situation with distinct clarity! Many thanks for sharing! :) Author Reply: It's hard to say why the phial broke at just that moment, but in the glimmering of its shards the vision came to her. No, none of those who lived with the knowledge of this assault and its aftermath ever forgot it. And I am honored by your praise! Thank you so very much, Teresa! | |

| how often has this scene be described but you made it again so vivid and awesome. Poor Galadriel, poor Celeborn. I can really imagine the expression on his face. Thank you. Lai Author Reply: I know--so hard to appreciate how hard the knowledge of this attack must have hurt them all! And each of them must have appeared as shocked as they felt. Thank you so, Lai. | |

| Wow, what a poignant description of this event! Beautifully done, Bonnie. Author Reply: Thank you so, Ellynn. How horrible it must have been for all of them, to realize she'd just been ambushed and stolen away, and find themselves unable to stop it! | |
