Going back 'home' in the aftermath of war must be a horrifying experience. Interesting to see that the forest had personality in Bucca's eyes. And that he can disappear in the blinking of an eye. There is more of a link between hobbits and elves than might be thought given their differences.

I hope his family have survived.

Author Reply: Since JRRT said the Fallohides loved the forest, it makes sense to me that Shirefolk early in the Shire's history, especially those descended from the Fallohides, would have a kindred feeling for the trees that were their shelter when they were driven from the land, in the dim past, before they crossed the mountains to find their own place in the world.

Thanks!

Oh, poor Bucca! He has to be dispirited and frantic! But he'll find his people, we know...

I love your song adaptation! That was beautifully done, Lin!

Author Reply: Thank you, Dreamflower. JRRT left us good material to work with.

Yes, very much a Hobbit, even in those dark days, able to disappear from the sight of the Big Folk in a trice, thinking of how best to find those even now hiding about him. It's one reason, I think, why I have the Hobbits loving Frodo's hidden items in pictures, this ability to hide at the edge of sight....

I am so glad to see another chapter here, Lindelea.

Author Reply: Yes, hobbits are very good at hiding, even in plain sight! Thanks for your patience with this one.

Glad to see an update to this one.

I know Thorn has to find someone from his family, but I'm worried about what this reunion will hold. The thought that the hobbits have lost so much is heartbreaking.

Please, update soon. I know RL is real busy, so I understand that updates come slow. It quality, not quantity, that counts after all.

Thanks.

GT.

Author Reply: Someone remarked that war is hell, and it certainly is, not only for the combatants but those whose land is the battleground.

Sorry it took so long between updates.
