Wow! That was a real surprise. I never expected Haleth to have elven blood in her. To be able to live the rest of eternity in the Undyling Lands would be awesome. That being said, perhaps there is hope for her and Inglor after all. Author Reply: Thank-you, Tari. Haleth wouldn't have much elven blood. I've often wondered how the ruling Houses of Gondor and Arnor saw Elrond. In human society, he'd be considered a patriarch, but the family had branched off so long ago that it would be hard to imagine a very close kinship. Either way, it's really hard for me to get my head around the concept of having a 9,000 year old relative. Thanks again for reviewing. Haleth

Love this story. But since she is a direct descendent from Elros, would it not make more sense that she stays with Elrond, who is more used to mortals then the elves from Aman? Keep up the good work!!!! Author Reply: Thank-you, Lorienprincess. '...would it not make more sense that she stays with Elrond, who is more used to mortals then the elves from Aman?...' It probably would. Anaire is very anxious to have one of her relatives near, maybe a little too anxious. It's hard to fault her, though. Her husband and all of her children left 6,000 years earlier and none of them ever returned. She must be incredibly lonely, particularly because as one of the leaders, she'd be expected to set an example of being strong. That's just my take on the character. Thank-you for reviewing. Haleth

And suddenly she finds herself one of the noblest families in Aman - oh dear, even more to get her head around! And Inglor doesn't help, does he? Lovely as ever, thank you for sharing. Author Reply: Inglor never really helps. And when he means to help it's usually even worse. Haleth's new situation will take some getting used to. She hasn't had time to absorb what's happened and she doesn't want to think about the consequences. Thank you for reviewing. Haleth

An interesting chapter and we get to see Anairë who doesn't get much copy in fanfiction. It's easy to see how Haleth would forget just who were Elros' ancestors and how it is that she was related to them, however distantly. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Something tells me more is going on than what appears to be on the surface. Author Reply: I've often wondered how Elves would treat their family ties ten or twenty generations removed. Would the family bonds be as strong between great-great-great-great-etc-grandparent and great-great-great-great-great-etc-grandchild as they would be between, say, grandparent and grandchild? I'm inclined to think not, but that may be my mortal bias talking. It could potentially have interesting consequences for elvish society with huge groups of people aligning with their family, like the old aristocratic or merchant families. Then again, which of the many, many sides of the family would they ally with? Anairë would be a different case all of her children and their descendants left for Middle-earth and never returned. She would still have her parents and siblings (presumably) and their descendents (maybe), but it wouldn't be the same. Then again, with so many of the men having left for war and never returning, there would be a heck of a lot of unmarried women, which, I imagine, was a lot like England after WWI. It could have some interesting consequences for society, but I digress. Having distant ancestors alive and breathing would certainly be a huge change for a mortal who knows from a very early age that the previous generations of their family are long gone before they arrived on the scene.
