| Okay, this is pretty intense. Not sure where you're going with this, Lai, but I look forward to seeing more. Elladan and Erestor dead and Glorfindel hasn't been seen for hours? Not good. Not good at all. Author Reply: blame the still clinging winter for my gloomy mood. I had to write something intense and dark -well here it is but be assured -it IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Thank you for reviewing, Fiondil. I really appreciate it. Lai | |

| Oh my goodness! So vivid, so real. I felt like I was standing right beside Elrond, or watching the scene through his eyes. Not an "AU"? Most intrigueing. I will most definitely be following this one. My other quess would be someone's fevered dream. But whose, I could not begin to guess! One other thought this inspired in me...I have lived most of my 50-some years in mostly peaceful communities, large or small, in the valleys of the Rocky Mountains of North America. Yes, I have heard of several rather horrible murders in my life, even in the farming town of about 5,000 people where I mostly grew up. As a child, images from the Viet Nam war, and race riots in Watts, Detroit and other cities were beamed right into my living room. But, outside of a couple of serious floods and the occasional range fire, I have never been in a community in the midst of a war, or riot, or terrorist attack. I have these last two days watched the images from the Boston Marathon attack with a horrible fascination. I can only think that "of those to whom much is given, much is required" and I ought to gratefully give to causes which try to comfort and aid those who have suffered such horrors. I shall be giving much thought to how I would react to such things happening around me, or to those I care about. A POWERFUL story! Author Reply: I´m so glad that a theme so dark felt real and vivid to you. It was my intention to let the reader stand next to Elrond and obviously it worked. Like you I have no experience how an attack in my wont surroundings would feel like, yet I can very good sympathize with those who have to endure something like that. I´m also watching what is happening in Boston and can only shake my head. I´m glad I had enough imagination to transport the dark image into your room. Thank you for a most appreciated review, demeter. Lai | |

| Wow! This is really dark. I'm kind of reeling from the carnage. Author Reply: dark indeed! I hope you like it nonetheless. Lai | |

| Good heavens, whatever has happened?! So many dead.... is this an AU where Sauron regains the Ring? That's the only explanation I can think of...what will happen now? Author Reply: this is definitely no AU! There has to be another explanation. I´m glad I hooked you. THank you so much for the first review. Lai | |
