| Your combat scenes are vivid and compelling. I could almost smell the blood and smoke of the battle. The relationships between people who love each other juxtaposed with the horror of the battle gives this chapter more of an impact. Great stuff! Author Reply: It's always a relief to hear that the combat scenes worked out! One of my reasons for writing this story was to get some practice with action and explicit violence, since in the past I've tended to avoid this sort of thing. It was a very useful exercise, I think. | |

| It does appear a retreat would be preferable. How utterly senseless this seems now, and it must have seemed then as well. Author Reply: I think it was precisely the senselessness of a war over a shiny stone that made the Sindar think that the Noldor might not carry through with their threats. They could equally well have tried negotiating for it, rather than merely demanding the Silmaril with menaces. Dior was not Morgoth Bauglir, after all. | |

| Typical Noldor arrogance to assume they'd just march into Doriath and seize the Silmaril with little resistance from the young king - Dior was no pushover. Darn that Oath! Good descriptions of the battle and killing. Author Reply: I can only repeat what I've already said, that I'm glad this story stands up to a second reading! As ever, thank you, Raksha! ^^ | |
