| Do you think he ordered them to regroup, join Gil-galad's troops? Lovely drabble of a time that has always created curiosity in me! | |

| Even though this was about a battle there seemed to be a sort of shell-shocked stillness to the narrative. It increased the grim irony of your image of Thranduil kneeling by his father weeping as the warriors acknowledge his ascendancy. Very moving. ~TF | |

Very moving. ~TF Author Reply: I think seeing his father fall would be a moment frozen in time for Thranduil. Two-thirds of Oropher's elves died - but this was his own father :( | |

| Tell 'em to forget the nicities for now and get back to the fighting! Well, I still liked it. Just foolin'. Author Reply: Poor Thranduil wouldn't have had much time to mourn his father, would he? Despite his own grief, he'd have to fight or be killed as well. | |

| Drabbles are so hard to write as you have to be very careful with your words. I have enjoyed reading your drabbles. You have painted many word pictures in what seems like the minimum of effort. Looking forward to the next one. Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words - I like writing drabbles, and certainly find some easier than others. I'm finding the companion piece to this, from Oropher's POV, much harder! | |

| Very touching. I especially liked the description of Thranduil's tears as "scalding". That is an evocative word choice, much more descriptive, with a far greater impact than the usually used "hot". Good job! :) Author Reply: It seems clear from 'Unfinished Tales' that Thranduil was part of that first assault on Mordor, and probably at his father's side. It can't have been an easy time. | |
