You create beautiful images in this chapter and the chapter before!

No, Sam is not dreaming. This is the start of his last adventure. And he is not alone, but has the best guide at his side one could wish for!

Author Reply: Thank you! Sam will soon find he is waking up, in the best possible way! He has earned his passage and his guides are just as honored to have him as he is to be in their presences.

Lovely! Once more you find the most marvelous imagery, and manage to capture Sam's poetic side, while still keeping his voice in character.

Author Reply: Thank you, DF! I wasn't sure if I could pull this off in Sam's voice, but he's been a marvelous and astute narrator. Must be all those years of practice telling his children bedtime stories. :D

I'm glad he fun with all those fireworks and had his glimpse in the palantir. Now I wonder what this dream that is not a dream is about. I hope if he is passing, that he will see his brother again at last!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Sam has enjoyed his time and took full advantage of his home amongst the Elves. Now it is time for a new adventure to begin!

This gives me chills (good ones). If this is Sam's final adventure (or the beginning of new ones, unlooked for), it couldn't be more gentle and marvelous.

Author Reply: Thank you, dear! Sam is about to discover that some roads never end - only alter their courses.

Earendil and Elwing both--he has wonderful accommodations as he makes his final voyage! No, no dream--waking up fully at last!

Author Reply: I'm sure they were both honored to escort one of the most famousest of hobbits to his true home. :D
