| Poor old Olorin, he just can't cut a break can he? At least when the others were in the War of Wrath they had company of likeminded people; others they could moan to or at about the harshness of war, and they were even allowed to be Maiar, but when the Istari were sent they went as humans, albeit longlived, but with the same things that affect all humans especially as they age. Olorin helped by Mortals, Hobbits, Dwarves and Elves overcame just as terrible an enemy or darkness as those in the War of Wrath did. Perhaps those in Valinor didn't realise how far and how deeply the darkness spread by Sauron and his people had spread! At the end, like his former master, Sauron had amassed armies every bit as awful in their own way as those Melkor had. I am glad to see you writing again. I have loved your stories since the beginning. Very much enjoying this one. Author Reply: Sorry that it's taken so long to reply, but thanks ever so much for the review. I'm glad to be writing again, and I'm in high hopes that my block will continue to melt (and that Olórin will be cut a break before the end of this tale :D) | |

| Ok, I'm praying for you. Go away writer's block!!!! Your Valars have so much patience and tolerance. I would reprimand all the discontents like little kids (Hey, not out, not TV for an age!) because that is how they are behaving, maybe that is the reason why I'm not a Valar :) I think that the lack of celebration or memorial after the War was a mistake. Those things are important, celebrate a victory, recognize an action, an individual. And honor the fallen, not with too much tears, but with hope in the future. I don't know, but it is the best way to move on. Well, I can't wait!!!!! Go away writer's block!!!! Author Reply: With all the support I've been getting from dear souls like yourself, I can't help but believe that the writer's block will soon be a thing of the past (and it IS beginning to break, so I'm very hopeful the progress will continue). Thanks ever so much! | |

| I like the idea of taking the Lord of Misrule concept and using it to enlighten a few people. And I recognise what you mean by having 'a fairly clear idea of all that needs to happen, but no idea how long it’s going to take' - I'm in a similar place in something myself, so all my good thoughts are heading your way. Author Reply: Thanks, and I hope your own writing issues clear up very soon. Here's hoping that the new year will bring greater creative flow for us all, | |

| Knowing what the problem is and who is at fault is the blessing this time, and I hope that the reversal of roles will serve to teach the dissidents the folly of their imaginings! | |

| I have to highlight my two favorite passages in this chapter: This world was made to be the habitation of the Eruhíni; we are, in the end, merely guests, here to be of service to the realization of the Music we sang, and the Creator we love. And... "And when we wake, breakfast will be ready?" He said it with such eagerness and such a hungry and roguish gleam in his eye, it brought laughter to many lips and smiles to all. The blending of 'plain hobbit sense' with the wisdom of these ancient beings is such a delight. I look forward to each chapter. | |
