Fate  by Laikwalâssê 2 Review(s)

What a hideous sight to come upon... Orcs and his mother battling. Cowards, fiends. I want to slay them all myself. The poor woman. But more so her son. How does one survive such an event? My heart just went out to him.

Oh my goodness gracious. That it was her own fault that this horror should befall her family. How could she have thrown caution to the wind in such fashion. And that the Galadhrim should leave her. I want to slep that guard up the side of the face. Of course, when he reaches home and discovered what his dereliction of duty has caused....

The battle scene, if one could call a band of orcs fighting one woman a battle, was really well done. It lasted long enough and was believable enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. I loved the bits of 'mother's instinct' that you threw into the battle. And then to have to tell her son to run..... Wow!

Excellent chapter.

Author Reply: yes, poor Legolas, my heart was in my throat while writing the battle scene. I want not to be in the shoes of the guards either, yet they need no further punishment...the outcome of their failure is bad enough for them. I´m glad I wrote Elarynia during her fight believable....in the end she showed really greatness in sending her child away. I´m glad you liked this chapter also. Thank you for reviewing. Lai

I pity the poor guards more than I pity the queen who only brought this tragedy on herself by her own wilfulness. But that's royalty for you: arrogant and uncaring about the consequences of their orders on others who are charged to protect them but are stymied from doing so because of them. *shakes head at the senselessness of it all*. Hope Legolas isn't in the hands of the orcs. That would be too much.

Author Reply: I do not want to walk in the boots of those guards either, even if no punishment will do right what has happened. Even if the Queen´s wishes are somewhat understandable she should know better then to risk her and most of all her son´s life on a whim. Legolas has not been eaten by the orcs - this we know - but it will be some time until poor Thranduil can take his son back into his arms - promise! Thank you so much for reviewing, Fiondil. You know how much I appreciate it. Lai
