Hi! I found this story a day or two ago and this morning was able to go back and read a couple of your earlier pieces, and I just wanted to let you know how incredibly impressed I am....your earliest stories are so well-done despite English not being your first language, and the amount you've improved since then is astounding. Reading this piece, I would never have guessed that you haven't been writing in English your entire life!

I love seeing your portrayal of Elrond....both wise and tender, with such a genuine concern for everyone in the household, family or not. It isn't often that we get to see him in a physician's role dealing with things besides wounds and other battle injuries. You also handle the emotional aspect of Eiriniel's struggle skillfully and believably, and it makes me ache to see Elrond and the others tying so hard to help her when really she doesn't want to help herself!

I'm anxiously waiting to see what happens next. Thank you for sharing!

Author Reply: What shall I say to such a lovely review than thank you? My english has improved, yes, but my beta reader is doing much to transform my stories into something readable. Anyway I´m so glad you like this story and others from me. As my bio already says Elrond is my favourite elf and I´m always trying to characterisize him as real and believable as posiible. To hold the balance between a mighty warrior, a loving father and a respected Elf-lord. I´m glad that Eiriniel´s fate touches you. The next chapter is already done and just being shaped into something postable by my beta. So a bit patience. Thank you so much for such encouraging words. Lai

Wow! A very tense chapter. I'm glad the baby survived, but what about the mother? Poor Elrond. It's hard on a healer when he loses a patient, especially when he tries so hard to keep said patient alive. But some battles are lost both on the field and off. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Author Reply: all seems alright with the baby and SOA,BTW. But what about the mother? These battles are the hardest to lose for a warrior and a healer, I deem. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing and hoping for the next chapter, Fiondil. Lai
