| Air Vingilot! *squeals excitedly* ...yeah I have nothing useful to add apart from that. =D Author Reply: And you're not alone in being excited about Air Vingilot. We'll see who's aboard in the next several chapters. Thanks for leaving a comment. I always appreciate it. | |

| Swords by a lake in the middle of the wilds seem okay. Perhaps in the middle of London even in Olympic year it would not be weapon of choice. When relationships are strained apologies do oil the way. I will be intrigued to see what use will be made of the alternative identities. Interesting that Alex has dropped the A of his 'real' name. Donne's poetry is some of my favourite too 'no man is an island.' very appropriate. I couldn't last five hours driving without a comfort break! ;) I can't imagine a mortal being overly comfortable sleeping in a tree even on a flet. I love my tent but I would really like to try an igloo. And you got in my favourite phrase about Halloween * grin* And of course Vingilot and the singing is the best bit of a wonderful chapter! Author Reply: Hi harrowcat. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, especially Vingilot and the singing. I like Donne's poetry as well. We'll see in the next chapter what use Alex and Derek will make of the fake IDs. Thanks for leaving a review. I always appreciate it. | |

| Grrr. Another cliffhanger. And I was hoping that we would get to know who is coming in this chapter. I love the subtle shift in tone between the elves, mostly Glorfindel, and the mortals. It feels more comfortable. Gun-toting elves would really be out of place, although I asked myself what the elves in a world full of machine guns and bombs want with swords. But I guess we'll see. Author Reply: Sorry, but if I'd continued on the chapter would've been way too long. We'll start seeing who came with the next chapter and for a number of chapters thereafter. I don't mention everyone's name, just those who play a role in this story. Perhaps if I write yet another sequel we'll see who the others are. Thanks for reviewing, obsidianj. I appreciate it very much. | |

| Whoo hoo! The Elves are coming! The Elves are coming! Good grief - now to wait 'til Monday..... Author Reply: Indeed they are, Agape, and Monday isn't that far off. *grin* Thanks for commenting. It's much appreciated. | |

| What I wouldn't give to be in Alex or Derek's place. I hope they realize how lucky they really are. Ninja squirrels? I'd love to see one of them try to take an Elf down. LOL Author Reply: Hi Tari. I'm sure they will realize how lucky they are once the get over the shock of seeing a ship floating in the air. *grin* And you have to watch out for those ninja squirrels. LOL! Thanks for commenting. I reallly appreciate it. | |

| Hail Earendil! Now, THAT would be something to see, of course, particularly if it were to happen in January! I wonder what passengers are aboard Earendil's craft that night? Perhaps the twins' father or other grandparents? I can imagine Galadriel itching for a fight! Author Reply: Hi Larner. Hail Eárendil, indeed! We'll see soon enough who came along for the ride. Thanks for leaving a review. It's very much appreciated. | |

| Oh, the imagery in that last paragraph was amazing - what a sight to see Vingilot and Earendil with the Silmaril descending! And the singing... I'm sure it would be incredible for all of them. Boy, are Sam and Gary getting an introduction to the "who'd have thunk it!" Now... to see how/if NORAD responds and how many UFO sightings are filed - or is there some Valarian cloaking device at work? Author Reply: Hi Lyana. I'm glad you enjoyed the imagery in the last paragraph. It's one of my favorite scenes. As for NORAD... well, we'll just have to wait and see, won't we? *grin* Thanks for the review. I appreciate it very much. | |

| Vingilot! Why I didn't think about that? well, that is the reason why I'm not a writer. Swords, really? Fiondil, now we have to wait to Monday! Do you realize that you make me wish for Mondays?! it is all wrong, I should be able to enjoy weekends and not waiting for updates on Mondays.... Thanks you. Author Reply: Hi Fantasia. Well, I'm glad you were surprised and perhaps you'll be more surprised when you learn who is coming. And at least Mondays are not something to look forward to instead of dreading. *grin* Thanks for leaving a comment. It's always appreciated. | |

| Arrgh! Cliffee King strikes again! Well at least we know one person who is coming, or has Vingalot been borrowed by someone again? Nothing too wild happened at least, a nice quiet moving along chgapter, expect for the Major Cliffee at the end! Waiting, impatiently, for monday. Lynda p.s. Send me your size, I am going to get you a tee shirt with 'King of Cliffees!' on it, for the King of Cliffees! Author Reply: Hi Lynda. Sorry for the cliffie but that just makes the anticipation even more exciting wondering who is aboard. We'll learn soon enough, never fear, and Eärendil will definitely be at the helm. It's his ship, after all. And I usually wera XL tee-shirts *grin*. Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate it as always. | |

| Not sure what use these extra ID are, but hopefully, Alex knows what he's doing. It's his job, after all, I'm just a simple librarian. Alex is at least getting caught up on the camping trips he missed because of his numerous health problems lately. This trip even sounds much more fun and pleasant than the one that was on the official Academy schedule. Ha, I knew it, they are coming from Valinor with Vingilot! Hopeful with Eärendil at the wheel, as is his right, so the twins finally get to meet him, like Glorfindel said. But why did you have to wait for the next chapter to tell us who comes? *whines* Still hoping for Elrond and Celebrían, it would be so wonderful for the twins. Maybe even Celeborn and Galadriel, though I'm not too sure about them. But I'd like to have Finrod, Ingwion, Sador, Gilvagor and Laurendil, to get the old gang together again. Maybe even Haldir and some of the elflings ... all of them would be good for Glorfindel, I believe. Then there would be Legolas. And I wonder if that elf is with them Alex was dreaming about? It would explain why the Valar wanted the two Mortals there. Ok, ok, shutting up here before I start listing all my favourites. Can't wait for Monday! How am I supposed to survive a whole weekend now, I'm so full of anticipation and suspense! Author Reply: Hi Kitty. We'll see just why Alex decided to provide him and Derek with false IDs in the next chapter. It will show that Alex always thinks ahead and maybe even had a premonition. And this camping trip is definitely more fun than the one Derek was on. We'll see who shows up on the ship. There will be familiar faces as well as new ones. I couldn't bring everyone I wanted so I had to be very choosy. Hopefully people won't be too disappointed if their 'favs' are not aboard. And I'm sure you'll survive just fine over the weekend. LOL! Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate it. | |
