The dread legacy of Sauron's perfidy done through the orcs on his mother.

Alas, son of Elrond; you have a long time to grieve ere you find another mistress.

Author Reply: He does have a long time indeed. I love the last line of your review. It really says it all.

Thanks for taking the time to read and review!

I ache for the Elladan who is wed to his sword and bow. He needed this period of frozen obsession - it shielded him, in a way, and gave him time apart. And it could have destroyed him, I think, had he not had Elrohir beside him. They could still care for each other, even when times were at their worst - so that, when the ice melted, they were still themselves. And able to become the supporters that Aragorn needed.

And I like to think that he did eventually find that elleth - once he was reunited with his healed and whole mother.

Author Reply: I pity Elladan, too. He was lucky that he pulled out of this obsession in time to be a brother to Aragorn. I have to wonder how many hundreds of years this thirst for orc battle lasted, though.

In my mind, Elladan married a nice elleth and fathered lots of little babies, too.
