A Hawk and a Star  by Mirach 4 Review(s)

A horrible encounter, and at least he has slain his enemy. Now--to save the Mariner and what remains of the Ship.

Author Reply: Thank you for the review! I agree, Ungoliant is better dead...

I have been reading your tales about Earendil with great interest, and find myself totally engrossed in this story of the two great friends. The terror of the dark vs the purity of the light are once again a focus, and are once again treated with respect and understanding. I can hardly wait for the next chapter.

Author Reply: I'm really glad you like my story, and the friendship of Earendil and Eonwe! Thank you very much for the review!

So, it is Eonwe the one who killed Ungoliant. I'm sure she didn't expect that, I'm sure she expected the two little "flies" she had caught to be quite helpless and afraid. Too much self-confidence can be dangerous, can't it?
Another good chapter, btw. I like the repeating of Earendil's if/when thought, especially the second time, when he emphasizes "when", showing that he doesn't lose hope.
I hope poor Earendil will get some help soon and that he will have a good rest and healing.

Author Reply: Yes, it is him... In HoME, there is a mention that Eärendil met Ungolianth on his journeys to the south, but it is not said explicitely that he killed her... and I really couldn't imagine how he could kill her alone, as she is equal in power to Melkor himself. So yes, she has a reason to be self-confident, but it's dangerous... and heritable in her family, it seems. Shelob didn't expect to be stabbed by Sam, either. Thank you for the review!

Go Eonwe!! Its a good thing *I* know Earendil can't die... otherwise this would be your third cliffhanger in a row, and I'd be catatonic. I was hoping the confrontation between Eonwe and Ungoliant would be longer. Still very good. Nasssty, Ssspider, Nassty! Poor Vlingot. And Eonwe. Although.....Elwing's no where to be found. Hope she's OK. Loving this story! Good luck with NaNoWriMo. Hope to see you in December! (Its going to be a long wait......I do want to see how you get Eonwe and Earendil home and healed.)

Author Reply: Yes, Earendil is obviously alive and well in the Third age, but that doesn't mean I can't do nasty things to him yet... Poor guy! =) Ungoliant is too powerful, and the longer the confrontation would take, the lesser chance would Eonwe have to escape with his life. He was very lucky this time! And thank you! MAybe I'll even manage one more chapter in November... are you prepared for a fourth cliffhanger in a row? (just kidding... or not? :P)
