| Eärwen is royally pissed and rightly so. She will not easily forgive him for what he's done, but I really feel sorry for Arafinwë. He's really caught between a rock and a hard place and that's a terrible place for anyone to be in. I can sympathize with his wondering why Eönwë hadn't let him die. It would have been easier, but not necessarily right for any of them. Author Reply: Earwen is extremely angry and he is extremely hurt. Even if it seems that it might have been more merciful if Eonwe had let him die, it would have been worse for everyone else in the long run. He does not see this now, but perhaps he will come to see it in time. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it very much! | |

| A totally believable reaction from Earwen. Had she understood and forgiven right there on the spot, it would have been totally unnatural. With time she might, hopefully :) One thing I am wondering about - is Arafinwe ever to meet his descendants for ex. in Numenor. Thank you for continuing this story, Ellie. Author Reply: There is no way she could have forgiven him on the spot for what he has done. It remains to be seen what she will do later, if she chooses to do anything further at all. A place by the sea is she has always wanted. Without King Arafinwe, she can have it. Part of Arafinwe's punishment was that he would never again see his children in Middle-Earth. Very slowly he will and has come to accept this no matter how much it hurts. | |

| Excellent advice he receives from the High King, and I so pray he takes it--and that she accepts it, too. Earwen has much to forgive, but must to understand as well. Author Reply: We will have to see how well Arafinwe takes advice about how he could continue his own healing. He tried to see to the healing of others who returned, but it didn't go as he had planned as we saw in that meeting with the other kings. Arafinwe also did what he could to explain things to Earwen, but what she does with this information when she cools down remains to be seen. He believes she will hate him forever and he believes she should react that way. At some point they both will have to go one with their lives - whether together or apart. Thank you so very much for reading and reviewing! I appreciate it very much! | |
