Spectrums  by Eärillë 2 Review(s)

Unfortunately it is likely he will not see them again on this side of the Sundering Sea. No wonder he wished to immortalize them in his drawings.

Author Reply: He might still see his grandson, if Voronwe survived the Third Kinslaying in the Havens of Sirion, but it would not be the same. People who survive shipwrecks are never the same... In a way, Rawe would indeed never see his family that side of the Sundering Sea, alas. Drawings would be just a pale imitation of a life they could have had, but drawings were all that he had. War is a terrible thing, indeed.

They seem to know they will never see them again, is Rawe leaving with them though?

Author Reply: No, he stayed in the Falas. I guess he would not leave his brother, who in turn would not leave the sea. In my universe, the both of them were Unbegotten, linked in kinship by how I imagine the Ainur are, back then in the Timeless Halls. But it would make it stronger than the blood ties even, I would think...

And yes, the little family of Ráwë's daughter went forth intending not to come back. I imagine they had persuaded Ráwë to go with them instead, but he would not do so and leave his brother. Nobody goes forth lightly out of Gondolin...

Thank you for the review. It was rather thought-provoking. I hope my reply to it did not bore you to pieces. :)
