Ab 'Urth  by Fiondil 2 Review(s)

Poor Legolas, what an uncomfortable feeling it has to be not to remember much of his life, and particularly what happened to him lately in the first place. And the memories that *did* surface weren't the best ones - his love for Arwen, for example. Just what he now needs ... *shakes head*

Thank Godness that Glorfindel was there - he's probably the only one in Middle-earth to know what Legolas is going through and able to help him.

Author Reply: Yes, memories are strange and what you do remember isn't always helpful or convenient. Glorfindel would be the ONLY person in ME to understand what Legolas is going through and know what to do, which is why the Valar sent him to the rescue.

Isn't it interesting how a shorter piece will spark a longer one. And seeing Legolas return to himself here within Middle Earth rather than within the Halls of Mandos or the gardens of Aman is fascinating.

Author Reply: Yes, indeed, but I think this tale from Legloas' POV needed to be told to complete the story in its entirety. Even if I hadn't had others asking for this story, I think I would have ended up writing it anyway. Thanks for reviewing, Larner. I'm glad you found this fascinating.
