| And so Tolly comes to learning his own story! I wonder will he ever guess who that "son of Elrond" is? It must be disconcerting to waken from a serious illness or injury with no idea of what happened and the only clue to how bad it was the fear and grief on the faces of your loved ones. Author Reply: I wonder if he will! Perhaps he might, if/when he at last meets the King in person. If he remembers dreaming, he might know that King and dream were the same. Good point! I cannot believe this story is within ten chapters of finishing -- or so the draft looks. It might be less, or if something unexpected happens, more, but really, it is nearly finished. I am smiling as I look forward, and that's a good sign. Thank you for your listening ear! | |

| Trying the review thing again. Hopefully this one will post instead of disappearing into cyberspace. This was a tense chapter even though the threat is passed. Hearing it retold in condensed form was almost as stressful as the longer version of the experience. Looking forward to what you have next in this one. Author Reply: So it's not just me and my computer giving me fits, with this review thing. I have taken to highlighting and control-C my review text (and review reply text) before attempting to post. That way I can try again. (Though I find often that hitting backspace when I see the error-timeout-whatever message instead of the review posting, will take me back to an intact review in a typing box. Sometimes I'll open another tab, log in once more in that tab, and *then* retry submitting the review. I can be a very determined -- read stubborn -- computer user...). Funny thing is, this chapter was background information and almost didn't get put in, except that their arrival at the Great Smials read as too abrupt and so I needed to put some sense of passing time into the story. Thanks! | |

| And bless that son of Elrond, who came cloaked and hooded--and who secretly had two fathers! Heh! Tolly may be able to work it out, I'd think. Now--to feed him up again! Author Reply: He might, perhaps -- I think of Faramir's joyful recognition, waking from a fever -- but then, he might not, if Elessar did not wish it. He's never met the King, if I'm remembering right, and probably hasn't met either of the other sons of Elrond. He may not even have met Legolas yet, though he's heard plenty of stories about him. | |
