My Sword Trembles - Book Three - 'My Sword' Series  by Agape4Gondor 5 Review(s)
TariReviewed Chapter: 18 on 4/16/2008
So, Estel got Elrohir and Elladan in trouble did he. I never thought much about Estel’s childhood. I loved the idea of them getting into mischief even though I am sure Elrod did not. I wonder how he would have handled them.

That was some spell they evoked. I hope it worked.

P.S. I'm going to post this reply on Prim's board and I will all others in the hope of encouraging more readers.

Author Reply: Ah - there are so many writers here, Tari, who really 'know' what Estel and the twins used to do during Estel's maturing process.... mine is a vague shadow of that. I bow to them.

And I thank you ever so much for your comments - and the one on that other board...

That's what I call a real cliffhanger ending! I like the usage of a song-spell; very Tolkienesque.

Let's hope none of the fellows got fried by the lightning, or this story will become even more AU...

Author Reply: It was reading Fiondil's work that reminded me of the Songs of Power - did a little research and felt Galadriel would know them - DUH! And she might very well have shared them with her grandsons...

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Ah, a song of power has called the trees to react and the lightning to fall? Most interesting! Now to see what comes of it all! And glad to see the reinforcements arrive.

Author Reply: Poor Aragorn has yet the wit about him to see what a blessing his brothers' arrival is!

And yest - the Song of Power is potent....

Ah... so that's how you incorporated the Song of Power... cool and very appropriate that it would be Galadriel who would know it as well and teach her grandchildren. Loved it that Elrohir and Elladan are in this story. And Mithrandir wants to see Aragorn, huh? I can just imagine why given the time line. Great chapter. Let's hope the threesome haven't gotten fried trying to help poor Faramir.

Author Reply: Yup! Very glad you approved. I needed that! And I loved that it was Galadriel who taught them - it just seemed perfect. I wish I had your way with Songs of Power... to me it fell a little flat... but it knocked the three of them on their behinds, didn't it? ROTFLMAO

Whoa! I did not expect that ending, meldenya! A most excellent chapter. Poor Aragorn and poor Faramir, they are both in a fix aren't they? I was never so glad to see Elladan and Elrohir show up (though it took me a bit to realise that was who they were before their names were actually mentioned). I hope that the Song worked and the spell on Faramir is broken, and that the results of the singing the Song on Aragorn and his brothers isn't damaging or long lasting. Great job!

Author Reply: *blushes furiously* Thanks Edlyn!

I wasn't expecting that either - and neither were the sons of Elrond, I can assure you! Else they might not have tried it.

I had planned on the 'rescuer' being Gandalf - but the muse had other ideas... hence the 'mystery' of who it/they was/were. :-)

Again - many thanks for the kind words!
