| Excellent start - very dramatic. I'm glad I'm not in a boat having orcs fire arrows at me! So it's been a millennium already. I suppose that means they're not newly weds any more. And the tensions between Amglaur and Thranduil still exist! Aradunnon had better get round to being serious with Amoneth soon - she had exhibited extreme patience and deserves to be rewarded. Looking forward to more. Hope Jeanne proves less dangerous than the previous hurricanes. And 40 is a good age - mature, confident, but well before decrepitude. Enjoy it. Author Reply: I'm glad that the tension came across. I wasn't sure how that scene would work in the reader's mind since you didn't actually see the battle. But sometimes what you don't see is scarier. Amglaur's attitude is better, as you will see, but they are not great friends :) Aradunnon will get a lot of opportunity to be serious in many ways in this story. I hope you continue to enjoy and as always I very much appreciate the reviews! Decrepitude! LOL! I'll just keep telling myself that its a good age. I know it is, seriously. But still--its the age my teenage friends and I joked life ended at and I still think of myself as a college student. What's up with that?! :) | |

| That battle scene from Lindomiel's pov was terrifying even though she saw very little of it. Well done! I don't blame Thranduil for being angry, but I'm glad I'm not the one who has to deal with him. I think you said we'd see more of Aradunnon in this story. I'm looking forward to that. Author Reply: That opening scene was actually what I wrote last for this particular story. There are quite a few battle scenes in this so to make them different, they get seen a number of different ways. I had a little fun playing with that. Sometimes what you don't see and can only imagine is scarier than what you actually see. I imagine that she has not seen a battle, having been born in the Third Age. Even Greenwood was relatively safe then. Since she'd never seen one, I thought I wanted that first battle to be seen from her perspective. No, I would not want to deal with Thranduil if I was on watch when nasty things started moving into his forest. It could not be good. :) Aradunnon plays a good role here, poor thing. Thanks for the review. I love them, as you know. | |
