| I liked the history of Legolas's knife, and I also liked knowing that he was only "competent" with a sword. It's great to see a Legolas who is less than perfect. Author Reply: At the risk of treading on toes, I too prefer a less than perfect Legolas, all the characters have some flaws, and so should he. | |

| What a wonderful thought that they all carry such precious pieces of not just their own heritage, but of past battles with them. I love the sense of pride throughout this chapter, and the subtle way that everyone becomes aware of the importance of the quest. Author Reply: Thanks for the review, Dot. | |

| So now we see how Gimli was asked to join the Fellowship, and I do love your vision. I also like how you have portrayed Gloin, not too brash, knowing full well what lies ahead, and acting as his age and leadership have taught him. I look forward to read about the others! Author Reply: Thanks so much, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. | |

| Ooh, I really like Gloin in this! He seems at the very least respectful of the elves and made an honest attempt to smoothe over the argument between Gimli and Legolas. It was interesting actually that Legolas seems to have started that particular argument - it certainly doesn't bode well for the quest. Gimli is hilarious! He picked the wrong place to go insulting elves - at least Elrond seemed more amused than annoyed! I also love the relationship between Gimli and Gloin - Gloin still seems to have a lot of control over his son, even answering for him and rebuking him but such pride in his son is wonderful to see. And Gimli in turn standing up for his father was brilliant - “If that is an accusation, then make sure it is directed to the real culprit. My lord father does not snore, I do!” LOL!:) Author Reply: Thanks for the review. I thought it high time the Dwarf father and son were paid a little attention. | |

| What a lively chapter! The dwarves are rendered very well by their dialogue. I like Gimli. He more complex here than he is in many fan fics. Author Reply: Thanks, I think there is more to Gimli than meets the eye. | |

| A good beginning. I like your picture of Legolas: capable but still young. We'll see how Thranduil reacts to all this. | |
