| I just started reading this, and it's really well written! Just one suggestion---five days in a coma would have been enough because someone in a coma cannot eat or drink and would die from malnutrition. Don't believe those fangirl stories about "reflex swallowing" when some liquid is poured into an unconscious person's throat. That's totallly WRONG! The relaxed throat allows the liquid to enter the trachea (air pipe) and thence into the lungs, causing pneumonia. It does NOT enter the esophagus (the path to the stomach). Sorry, but that's the medical truth. So, "five days in a coma" would make this a classic. I'm not a doctor, just an R.N. but ask your family doctor. It's only since modern times with feeding tubes and intravenous fluid replacement that people can be kept alive while in a coma. Author Reply: Ha ha! Hey thanks for the review. Yeah, I guess back then it would have been almost impossible for them to keep a person alive in a coma that long, but I kinda had to go out on a limb for Legolas' coma. And besides that, where's the fun in only five days? I mean, you gotta have some kind of angst in a story like this! ^_^ Thank you though for the insight on comas and reflex swallowing. I guess i can try to BS my way through this by saying that there were elves watching over Legolas so they were able to contrive some special way of feeding him that would have kept him from drowning or choking to death! Hey! Come on... Give me a little credit for trying, eh? ^_^ lol. Thanks again for the review. I really appreciate you pointing out that aspect of the story. Till next time! Signing out -LAXgirl | |

| I'm glad to see Legolas is at least awake, if not well, yet. But I wonder what other visions he will see? The way he panicked when the twins touched him makes me wonder what lies in store for them. And poor Gimli! I hope his people can cope with this disaster. Jay Author Reply: Have no fear! More visions are on the way! Remember those mysterious murders in the third chapter that I just seemed to randomly put in there? Yeah, well, those will be coming more into play soon, so keep an eye out for it. Thanks for reading! -LAXgirl | |

| wow....i think that Kim's statement have made the people realize Legolas isnt crazy... Author Reply: Hmmm... perhaps... But there's always room for scepticism in things like this. I'll tell you now not everyone is just going to believe in Legolas' powers so easily. They're going to need some more first-hand proof... Thanks for reading! -LAXgirl | |

| Now that´s what I call "memory overflow". Poor Legolas! So many bad news at once. I guess it must have been worst to have no-one believe him. That´s terrible. And then being forced to sleep again after five years of sleeping - not nice at all! I only hope that Legolas will not lose his trust in his friends because of the way the treated him. And that they will not become afraid of him like Gimli was. I wonder what would happen if he touched Eowyn´s stomach, would he sense her child? Oh well, I´ll just wait for your next update. This is an intriguing story, I love it! Alina Author Reply: Well, some are going to believe him and some are still going to need some convincing before they truly believe in Legolas' new powers. But don't worry about Gimli though... that little dwarf isn't going to give up on his friend so easily. He's just going to need time to get used to the idea of his friend once again being awake and his strange new powers... Thanks for reading! -LAXgirl | |
