I' glad to see you continuing this one Antane! Sometimes the smallest are the greatest, in service, love and humility. I am honored, Ada, that you have shown me these. They are wonders to behold. That was such a lovely and heartfelt 'conversation' between Elrond and Iluvatar. Elrond was truly meant to encounter these particular hobbits and his life will be all the more enriched because of them. ~Elemmírë~ p.s. Thank you so very much for pointing me back in the direction of 'A Hobbiton Halloween' I LOVE the addition of Gandalf to the tale. Somehow I find that Gandalf and sweets always go together very well ... and combined with wee Sam and young Frodo ... *sighs in content*. LOL! Anyway, I really enjoyed the additions you made. :D Namarie Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear! Glad you enjoyed both tales! The Gandalf part came to me on the way home from work and I just had to put it in - better than waiting until next Halloween. :) It was a lot of fun to do. Now if I can just figure out how to continue Love Endures... Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

Indeed the one prayer that will in the end mean the most to both Frodo and Sam, and that will bring them the most heart and peace along the way. I am glad he utters it here. Author Reply: We all need prayers, don't we? :) Hannon le for reviewing. It'll be continuing soon. Namarie, God bless, Antane | |

Beautiful weaving of the original text into this short view of our two protagonists. | |

I read this first earlier in the day when I was rushed. I read it now more at leisure. This is your most powerful writing to date, and indicates how much you are maturing both as an individual and as a writer. It is emotionally satisfying without being maudlin, and a wonderful point of view for these thoughts. I very much love the dialogue between Elrond and Eru. Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear Larner! This is high praise indeed and very much appreciated! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane | |

"The journey will be very dark." "And filled with light." You've said so much in these few words. This is a truly beautiful story. Author Reply: Hannon le! Glad you enjoyed! More to come... :) Namarie, God bless, Antane | |

This is beautiful. I love the spiritual aspect of this tale. "Though he knows not what he saw, I have already sent him a dream of what his reward for all his labors will be." This line particularly appealed to me. It explains so well the dream Frodo experienced at Tom Bombadil's. I have never much cared for that part of the book, but your story has made me rethink Frodo's dream. I am so glad that Elrond sees not only Frodo's light, but Sam's as well. | |

Frodo's determination is wonderful! To think that a small hobbit could teach a mighty Elf-lord like this is great! God bless, Ellie Author Reply: I've learned so much from him myself! Hannon le, my dear! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |
