May the Valar Protect Them  by Nilmandra 1 Review(s)
rgbjReviewed Chapter: 9 on 1/7/2004
I forgot about the human tracker. I remember now you mentioned this tracker I just over looked him. Well he is no more. I think it was good of Thranduil to remember his family, I take it this was in the form of renumeration for them.
Ban has an anxiety attack and a well deserved one I must say. His pride has caused him to slip into grievous error and he fears the outcome. Too late for that now. He made his choice and must face the consequences of it.
The men are not afraid to kill, they are unpredictable and that is dangerous. Rawien must have had dealings with humans before.
That was a nice scene between Ethiwen and Galithon. Focusing on the elleth with their family once again. The warriors have that to cling to and that makes them even more determined.
Even nicer is the portraits you have painted of Lathron's and Bregolas' personalities and how they deal with life and loss. Lathron has a vision of their baby brother and knows he is a sweetie. Survivors guilt is made worse by the visions. The only ones to blame are the ones that killed his mother and brother. So hard though not to take blame on self. This is part of the grieving process and has to be worked through.
Poor Thranduil. I suppose a mighty king of an elven realm would be proud of his ability to protect his people and here he made the choices that ended in losing his Queen, a son, a warrior and an infant son he has never seen. He can't be easy on himself.
Oh Oh something happened to the elleth.
