| Oh, how appropriate this conversation is! I find I enjoy it thoroughly, remembering how both daughter and son came to us one day to complain that we were favoring the other over each, at which time we called them together and indicated that it was obvious we were ignoring them equally, a distinction they didn't appreciate. I've always suspected that there was some warning, perhaps from Lorien or Ulmo, indicating to Elwing that she should avoid allowing Maedhros and Maglor to take possession of the Silmaril, perhaps for their own sake. Certainly it appears that Earendil needed it in order to fulfil his own quest, so allowing those two to take it would have condemned the Free Peoples to greater problems in the long run. But certainly Morwinyon and Elros and Elrond had reason to feel abandoned by their fathers. Author Reply: Yes, I know that in the greater context the Silmaril was needed. It still doesn't excuse Elwing leaving her little sons to the questionable mercy of the Kinslayers, though; especially as she ought to remember how her brothers fared. But yeah, sibling rivalry is as old as Creation itself, I think. | |

| Love this chapter! thank you. Someone to tell Maglor's famly how loved he was by elrond and how some people still were loyal to them. I shoul say thank Fiondil as well, you are really inspired now Author Reply: Yes, Fiondil's stories are a great inspiration - and so are his comments. :) I'm glad you liked the new chapter. I wanted to do the Maglor thing for a long time, and this seemed the best opportunity to actually do so. Next we get the tale of the making of the Moon, I promise. | |

| An interesting chapter on Maglor and the relationships between the various parties, past and present. By the way, you have Celebrķan say that Curufin almost abducted Celeborn, but I think you meant his son, Celebrimbor. *grin* I was very happy to see this chapter now before I go back into hospital. Thanks for posting (though I know you didn't do it just for me *grin*). Author Reply: Oh, I'd have readily put up the new chapter just for you, you know. :) I wish you a quick and complete recovery. Thanks for spotting the mistake. The Professor's name-giving methods are maddening: the names either begin the same way or end the same way. Grrrr! | |

| Hmm, another interesting chapter! I love how you're mixing all the histories of the different Ages together and giving some new viewpoints on them. Poor Morwinyon, he must have had a difficult life, but I do like his mother very much - I hope Celebrķan becomes good friends with them, and can share Elrond's memories of Maglor with them. :) I'm looking forward to the next chapter! Author Reply: Morwinyon certainly had a difficult life, but I have the impression that he almost enjoys the role of the victim. He definitely needed a wake-up call. The funny thing is, I never intended to write him this way. These characers have a life on their own and regularly take over the plotline. ;)) | |
