| Ai!! That poor elf, Nifael, is going to be in so much trouble (or at least embarrassed beyond words) when he wakes up and realizes how his message was misunderstood! He's conscientious to the extreme - and look what it's led to! Poor Thranduil -to hear news about his son like that after that terrible nightmare! Now he's convinced that it's true, and both dream and the message were actually incomplete. The part where he was thinking about Legolas liking the autumn time of year the best brought to mind an old song I dearly love that still makes me cry today...a verse goes like this - "Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way. You always loved this time of year. Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now, 'cause you're not here. A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes, as if to hide a lonely tear. My life will be forever autumn, 'cause you're not here." It just seemed to fit Thranduil somehow, and made me cry with him. *sniff* I foresee more problems in the future for the King and son, but please, can he find out that Legolas is OK, soon? Cannot take too much more of this! Great chapter - nice tricky turn!;-) Thought worst was over, should know better! linda Author Reply: Ah - Jeff Wayne, 'Forever Autumn' from War of the Worlds. I love that song, but haven't thought of it for years. It does seem appropriate for the elves. Poor Thranduil - there had to be more than just the message to make him believe it, but he's used to sensing when something is wrong with Legolas. Things will be resolved, but will get worse before they get better! | |

| That elf! What a dummy - why on Arda could he not go back to Imladris and get fixed before returning, or at least allow the human to help him. Stubborn doesn't begin to describe him. Now poor Thranduil is going to have an agonising night believing his little elfling is dead. Still - at least he will be happy when they are reunited. (Why am I sure I have read this before?) Author Reply: Because you quite possibly have. I posted the original version on ff.net nearly two years ago, but I've been amending each chapter as I post it here, and adding some new scenes. If you read it before, and are still reviewing, THANK YOU! | |

| Oh now that's just cruel! Very well done. I really never saw this coming. Author Reply: Poor Thranduil. I feel very sorry for him now. I'm glad you didn't see it coming, but Legolas's original message to Nifael was very carefully worded so that it *could* be misunderstood. | |

| Ai! A heartrending chapter, Jay! I hope you won't leave Thranduil thus for long. Author Reply: Poor Thranduil. He won't suffer for too long - but the angst will go up before the end! | |

| That Nifael, bless his little cotton socks, is a menace! Is he ever going to be embarrassed when he wakes up to the devastation his words have innocently caused. Both sad and hilarious, well done Jay. Rose Author Reply: Poor Nifael - none of this was his fault! He simply delivered a message; it wasn't his fault it was misinterpreted. | |

| Well, angst you promised and angst there is. Poor Thranuil! How truly awful. I can't remember though, Jay. Is Darian a characters from an earlier story, the one about Elrohir etc caring for the sick? Author Reply: Angst there is indeed, and more before the end! Poor Thranduil. Darian is a new OC, the other story about Elrohir and the plague was set a few hundred years ago (and nearer to Imladris than Lasgalen). | |
