Estel Counts  by Larner 6 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 22 on 12/22/2010
Oh, yes, he will!

Great imagery in such an economy of words.

Author Reply: Am so glad you like it, Lin! Yes, one day he, too, will be part of companies gone out to fight the darkness, as well as doing his best on his own to do so as well. Whether part of great armies or as a guerrila fighter working on his own, he will be one of those who becomes a legend in the fight against the dark!

I can see that the company of elven hunters would make a big impression on a boy - and naturally move so thoughtful a one as Estel to make that oath.

Author Reply: Indeed so, Kitt! His destiny already moves closer....

Estel watched after them with excitement and envy

Be patient, Estel! Soon enough you will be one of them. And maybe one day in the future you will long to be a child again and leave war to the adults.

Author Reply: Unfortunately, you are all to likely right about him wishing one day to return to the relative innocence of childhood once more! But he WILL do his bit against the darkness.

You can almost see the prophetic waving of banners and sounding of trumpets in Estel's vow!

Author Reply: You think so? I'm so glad you feel that, Cairistiona!

I can just imagine this scene!

Author Reply: I'm so glad I was able to make this one vivid enough to envision. Thanks, Linda!

Oh yes, soon enough Estel will ride out just so, his brothers and kinsmen with him! Soon enough, Estel...though perhaps now it seems to be forever.

Well crafted, Larner! I could just see it.

Author Reply: For a child, tomorrow can seem an eon away, and five years? Forever!

Thanks so, Kaylee!
