Shadows Over Lasgalen  by Jay of Lasgalen 4 Review(s)

"The bond he had with the forest – though nowhere near as strong as his father’s – made him feel ill at the carnage they could see."
A nice reminder (I could do with it now!) of _Thranduil's Heir Version Two_ when the forest delighted in his birth.

"And who were the Masters?"
Noticed that last chapter, plural ... hmmm.

The creature (Nazgul???) has powers, as it's sibiliant voice reaches to the patrol. And then poor Legolas, poor Elentia...
I'm still thinking it was Nazgul, which is a pity as that one seems determined to get Legolas and his family back for ruining his fun.

Great chapter (that sounds terrible, but I hope you know what I mean!).

*blink*

You killed the poor elleth. You killed her. And you made Legolas shoot her no less!! How could you?

*fan breaths deeply to get over her shock*. That was a brilliant, if scary chapter. I am presuming that is a Nazgul - very effective, the bony handreaching out to touch her. The arrows passing through it/him and most of all its touch robbing her of joy, light.

Brrr...

Exciting stuff. I read the chapter twice before I got the courage to review. PS. legolas is a bit foolhardy to take such risks - I know it was needed and all but still. Don't let anything happen to him okay. Or any of the other ones.

Oh yeah - let the horse survive too. Please.

POST SOON

Author Reply: Yes, it was a Nazgul - I think the worst of all enemies for an elf. Poor Elentia - but think what would have happened if Legolas had not acted. Don't worry, Legolas' horse will be fine.

Oh! Well, she died, but at least that's better than eternal torture in Dol Guldur. I'd have been thankful, had I been her.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Author Reply: Weighed against Dol Guldur, it was the only thing the elves could do. Not an easy choice to make.

Oh wow this was terrifying. And you did it just right, Jay, because I became convinced of what Legolas had to do at about the same time he did. But you really scared the wits out of me first.

Author Reply: I'm sorry - sort of - that I scared you, but really glad the chapter had such an impact. Poor Legolas - it wasn't an easy thing for him.
