Author Reply: yes, they should know better, but who will tell them? They have to realize on their own. Thank you so much for your review. Its really appreciated. Update is nearly done. Lai

Very sad. And the Twins are going to feel all kinds of guilt when they find out (at least I hope so). I think Demeter d's analysis of Elrond and how he could be "kind as summer" (I always loved that phrase) is probably very true. Sometimes only through suffering great anguish and tragedy do people learn compassion for others.

Author Reply: they will feel sorry, but too late this time. Elrond will have to give up comletely to be able to return. Curious? Then I´m glad to see you at my next updates. LOL. Thanks for reviewing, Fiondil. You know how much I appreciate it. Lai

Only children have the power and the will to wound a parent in this way. Ignoring his pain, the twins have punished Elrond for years for the loss of their mother. Elladan's actions are unconscionable and only a miraculous intervention is going to save Elrond and re-unite his family. It's a riveting story Lai, and I'm looking forward to your next update.

Author Reply: thank you so much. I´m happy that you are taken with my story. You are right; only children can do so much pain with the chance of forgiving afterwards. Elrond will be no exeption albeit with a be guiding from outside, I fear. Thank you so much for a most appreciated reiew, Semmley. Lai

About a hundred twenty years or so from the time of this story, Elrond will be described by the omniscient narrator of "The Hobbit" as being venerable, wise, and "as kind as summer". In order to get from his spirit slowly slipping away from his body in grief, to that point, something drastic will have to happen. I think that I agree. It will have to be some outside force. I think that not even Glorfindel will be able to reach the boys right now. It will be interesting to see how that happens!

Author Reply: you are right something drastic will have to happen and it will. Glorfindel and even the twins have no longer the power. I so like the description of Elrond being "as kind as summer". All is said with this statement. There is much work ahead to bring him to this point. Thank you for reviewing, demeter d. I really appreciate it. Lai

All certainly have reason to be concerned. Now, to find the twins and get them home on the double!

Author Reply: first to find them and hopefully they are willing to come home. They have their own problems right now. Thanks for your review, Larner. Lai

Poor Elrond,
I think I feel sorry for the twins now. I for one would not want to be in their shoes when Glorindel catches up to them...

Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author Reply: they have made the right decision not being at home right now. Glorfindel is not really amused, yet he will sorely need them. Thank you so much for reviewing, eliza. Lai
