It must have been extremely difficult to have such a connection broken. I scarce can fathom it. When my own husband died, the pain was so incredible, I found breathing even difficult. And praying to God that it wasn't true. But to have such a spiritual bond destroyed.... I am not surprised that so many married Elves faded when they lost a spouse.

It's not surprising that Thranduil failed to notice Legolas' absence, but now he must turn from his grief and go into search mode. Not a good thing for the entire family nor the guards.

Well written chapter.

Author Reply: I´m sorry that you have experienced a similar loss and cannot imagne the pain. I wrote it out of imagination and I´m glad it worked, even if bringing back sad memories. The spirital bond of the elves have always intrigued me and that they fade I can really understand. For Thranduil it is high time to go into "search mode" indedd. Poor family and poor relatives. Thank you for telling me that the chapter was well written. It means a lot for me. Lai

A very intense and emotional chapter with one blow after another for Thranduil and Saeron: Elarynia dead, Legolas captured by orcs and Galadhion chasing after them. And now the hunt for little Legolas begins or will soon. On the edge of my seat waiting anxiously for the next chapter.

Author Reply: yes Thranduil is not getting a respite any time soon nor his sons and you are right the hunt will begin soon and we will see how successful - or not - the elves will be. I´m glad I could draw you to the edge of your seat and intent to keep you there...*g*. Thank ou so much for reviewing, Fiondil. I really appreciate it. Lai

The anguish and disbelief are very strong here in Thranduil and his second son. Then to find out he may lose his oldest and his youngest son is another blow. You have shown some raw emotions and how each elf is handling themselves in a very realistic manner. This is a heart stopper of a story and even though we know the story it is hard to wait for the next chapter.

Author Reply: that was my intent: to focus on the raw emotions raging through this family at this tragedy. I´m glad the transfer worked and that you liked it! Thank you so much for your review, rikki. I really appreciate it. Lai
