Creation Song of Ilúvatar  by Fadesintothewest 2 Review(s)

The battle was certainly not gratuitous, but an agonizing glimpse into real life for a warrior. Young Linwe died well - but I feel so for the captain who lives. It appears Legolas is almost to him, but getting him home will be very difficult. But, perhaps if he is to die, it will not be alone now.

Legolas' trails through the trees is very elfy. I love how you have used the trees as a sources of information and sustenance, and the birds as messengers. It very much makes the wood elves a part of the forest.

You were right, that was graphic but it was not gratuitous. This was all very well done. The battle and the suffering of the Elven warriors was really gripping, which is quite an accomplishment because most ff battles just fly by as a plot element. And the magic bond that exists between Legolas (and other wood elves) and the trees was so well done. It was just - magic!
