Forging Hope  by Ellie 3 Review(s)

It was good to see Yavanna helping out. Maybe the Valar might not approve of what has happened but neither do they condemn it or Arafinwë for what he has done. The Song of Power was awesome. Loved the little ceremony of Arafinwë introducing his children to Eru and the Valar. I'm sure they were tickled pink with the Valier cooing and sighing over the babes while the Valar congratulated one another and passed out cigars. LOL! And now to see how Arafinwë handles twin terrors, as they are likely to become once they pass the cute-as-a-button stage.

Author Reply: Arafinwë has to get a break at some point - even if just for a little while. I think the Valar love and prize all life, so I believe they would have delighted in his children, too. We'll have to wait and see what the children put him through later in life.

Thank you so very much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it very much!

I rejoice that the Valar watch over him and are glad of how she fulfills his needs. The babies sound beautiful, and the visions fascinating.

Author Reply: Arafinwe deserved some good things happening to him. He is blessed to have Faroniel and the children as he does. He was considered the fairest of the sons of Finwe so it stands to reason that he would have beautiful children, too :-)

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I appreciate it very much!

Lovely scene with Yavanna.

Babies are such miracles! Beautiful descriptions.

Author Reply: Thank you very much!

Babies can bring healing and fulfillment and be pretty darn cute! Given what Tolkien said about the beauty of Finarfin's other children, I bet these little ones are gorgeous, too.

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I appreciate it very much!
