Finally, the happy reunion. Having Earendil and Elrond speak for Maglor was perfect. I like the idea of the Harthadrim going to Lorien for some much needed time of tutoring and learning and getting accustomed to Aman. Having Finrod as tutor was the best choice. I'm sorry to see this story come to an end.

Author Reply: An another review of yours I missed somehow, obisidian j. Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter and the reunion with Eärendil and Elrond. Lórien is the perfect place for them as they learn to integrate themselves into Amanian society and Finrod is indeed the best choice for this task. Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer of my stories. I appreciate it very much.

That chapter was very moving. The reunion between Maglor and Elrond was touching and had me teary eyed. Arthalion's reunion with his brother, was the best part of the chapter for me, though I loved it all! I am sad to see the story coming to an end. I do hope you take up aspects of this story in some future story.

Author Reply: Hi Fades. I'm glad you found the chapter moving, and Arthalion and Arthad reuniting is my favorite part of the chapter, too. Thanks for reviewing. It's much appreciated.

Another weepy chapter. Love, love the fact that Elrond and his parents were there to stand up for him. And when Arthalion and Arthad saw each other. Ohhhhh how wonderful that was. :) Great job as always Fiondil :D

Author Reply: Hi Laer, Weepy but satisfying all around. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it very much.

And apparently I can also hit the Post instead of the Preview button. LOL! Sorry, I'm being a doofus and playing around. I will behave and use my powers for good and not evil. Thanks and you have a superlative weekend yourself! Rock on!

Fiondil -

I'm a wizard, of course! ;) That's how I did it.

No really, I just realized you can use HTML coding including the img src in the review field. So let's see...
I can also do this

A truly fair and well balanced judgement. It was very good to see Elrond and his parents stand there beside Maglor - I do love the idea of the twins making traps for him when they were first with him and his brother.

To spend time in Lorien seems a perfect thing - and it was good to see Arthalion reunited with his brother - now, perhaps, to see Maglor reunited with some of his.

Author Reply: Hi curiouswombat. I thought it was a fair judgment and I don't think anyone will go away complaining. And the Harthadrim do need space and time to adjsut to their new home and Lórien is the perfect place for it. In some ways they're almost like Reborn in that respect, so having Finrod help them through the transition is only right. Thanks for reading and reviewing. It's greatly appreciated.

Best parts: Eärendil and Elwing speaking and Elrond hugging (and ohmygosh that family is together) and Arthad reunited and Maglor forgiven and THE SINGING.

I cannot word, everything is (happy) tears!



Fiondil this is so wonderful and I feel like I can finally come away from the edge of that cliff and breathe again!! Jeez louise, you know how to drive the emotional roller coaster!

-Kevana

Author Reply: Hi Kevana. So how do you paste in pictures like this? That is so cool. I'm glad you're feeling happy through the tears and no longer teetering on the edge of the cliff. And I'm glad you think I can drive the emotional rollar coaster. Sometimes it hard to tell if I've done it right. Anyway, thanks for the cool review. I love it. Have a great weekend!

Hooray that Arthad is reunited with Arthalion, and that all have heard the judgment given by the Valar, and that the renunciation is now a matter of record throughout all of Aman. And that Elrond and his parents greeted Maglor as lovingly as they did speaks volumes. I'd not thought of Elrond and Elros seeking to kill Maglor myself, or not doing so repeatedly. Yet in his way in your-verse he was modeling the love he knew in his heart was true toward the Children by the Valar and Iluvatar Himself, preparing both for their own joyful futures.

Author Reply: Hi Larner. There is much to be happy about in this chapter and much to rejoice in. Can you tell I'm a sucker for happy endings. LOL! Thanks for reviewing. It's much appreciated.

So happy reading this, especially the moment when Eärendil, Elwing and Elrond stepped forward to speak for Maglor. That's the reunion I think I was most looking forward to, and that it came at such a time was highly satisfying. A good chapter all the way around!

Author Reply: Hi Cairistiona. I'm glad the chapter pleased you all around, especially Eärendil, Elwing and Elrond stepping forward. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it very much.

Beautiful, just perfect.
Finally Elrond and Maglor. I'm happy with their reunion. Now his family....

I'm not sure where is Elrond now in Valinor, did he create a little Imladris for himself and his people? I wonder if we was hoping for his kids were coming with the Harthadrim.

I'm curious if the Harthadrim will keep together or they will go with their families...It seems that Maglor's kids have been picked by different Valars.

And Arthalion and his brother, what a beautiful reunion and he is now a Harthadrim.

I'm going out for vacation, I won't be reviewing but for sure I'll be reading, just to let you know that I'm not quitting this story.

Thank you

Author Reply: Hi Fantasia. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Some of your questions, I can't answer because I don't know for sure, but I suppose it doesn't really matter at this point. The important thing is Maglor's been publically reconciled with the Valar and Arthalion and Arthad are reunited and Arthalon has been declared not guilty of kinslaying.

Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate it. Have a great vacation.
