| So, for the moment they are safe. That was quite a rescue scheme Laurendil came up with. Floating down the river. And poor Boromir sacrificed himself. The guards will rue that they killed him, since their quarry escaped under their noses and now they have no one to question. The empty village is still a mystery. I hope you will solve this for us in due time. And where will Fiondil go, since he can't go home? Author Reply: The mystery of what happened to the people of Nindamos and why will be revealed before the story ends as will Fiondil's fate. | |

| Hooray-the lost found and restored, and the relief is overwhelming. Now--what to do about the mortals in the party.... Author Reply: Hooray, indeed. The next chapter will deal with the problem of what to do with the mortals. | |

| Ah ha! So Fiondil might have an inkling as to where the shipwrights are... a diturbing thought! And the males definitely seem to be leering!!!! Stop it! Poor Fiondil does know how to sit and wait - with Earnur's help.... Is this the same... could it possibly be.... 'our' Vorondil grown up???? Oh my! *heavy sigh* Lovely chapter!!!! Now get the heck out of their before some 'other' ships come!!! Author Reply: Well, perhaps Fiondil might now where the missing shipwrights are, we don't know for sure, though we can guess why the shipwrights are missing, can't we? You've forgotten the first two chapters of this story which take place in Aman where we meet Vorondil, not only all grown up, but married with a child.*grin* | |

| I seem to miss chapters now and again and it's driving me nuts... but I finally figured out what I had missed and went and read the chapter before this. I'm glad they are finally going to be rescued. I HOPE! Author Reply: Well, when you read the next chapter, you'll find out. *grin* | |

| So a happy almost-ending, though I *really* could have done without reading about poor Fiondil being seasick. And if no place in Númenóre is safe for him, does that mean they have to sail him all the way to Middle-earth? He could give Gil-galad the latest info on Númenóre -- if he survives the voyage.... And Vorondil *did* get to go along ... and got his present, too! [Re. seasickness: I definitely did *not* inherit the same genes as my-brother-the-sea-captain (who is really more a restaurateur, though he does have a captain's license, and lives on his boat, and did have a captaining job last week).] Author Reply: Even though Fiondil and I share the same name, we don't share the same aversion to water. I've never been seasick, thank Eru, but I know others who have and I know how wretched it is, so I'm not unsympathetic. Yes, Vorondil got to go along and get his present (the best!) at the same time. *grin* | |

| Oh how nice. Vorondil got to sail after all! though I was a bit surprised he didn't comment on Lauendil's short hair. *grin* So nice they are safe for the moment. I look forward to seeing the conclusion to this wonderful tale. Author Reply: I'm sure Vorondil will get around to teasing Laurendil about the short hair once he gets over the shock of seeing Eärnur. *grin* | |

| Oh, poor Fiondil, motion sickness is the worst, makes the trip seem never ending. Being on the ship may make it eaisier and I am sure they have something to make him feel better. I see Vorondil has not noticed Laurendil's new hair style, I expect he will come in for some teasing once it does. We have had one happy reunion let's hope there are more to come. What are we to do with Fiondil though, will he be making a quick trip to the Hither Lands or is he going to join the villagers and all those missing shipwrights? Happy Belated Birthday, may you have many more! More please, Lynda Author Reply: I think Vorondil probably did notice the short hair on Laurendil but has matured enough not to make teasing comments in the presence of strangers and then seeing Eárnur probably knocked that right out of his mind, for now. The solution to Fiondil's problems will be forthcoming. Thanks for the birthday greetings. | |

| Valar, Earnur is so cute! I feel like pinching his face!( I might cast the anger of the Valars on me for that though......) Author Reply: Eärnur is very cute and he has grown in many ways that he could not have had it not been for his experiences here in Númenor, as terrible as they must have been at first. He will return to Aman a better Elf for them, though. | |

| Interesting! So, in a way, it was Earnur's "fault" that the villagers left. I like the way he was their redemption and the one to bring them back to the faith even if it was unintentionally done. That is something for him to find comfort and pride in. I really like the way you describe your elves, setting them apart for the mortals in the story with such little details as raising an elegant brow. Your writing has progressed so much since you first started writing fanfiction (or at least since I first stared reading your stuff way back when :-) ). You have mastered many subtleties and elegant nuances. It is a pelasure to read your fanfic no matter what the subject (that is a great compliment coming from me because there are lots of charcters you have covered that I would not have read otherwise). More, please? Author Reply: Well, I suppose that it is Eärnur's 'fault', though I don't think he would look at it that way. We will learn in the next chapter just what did happen to the villagers Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. After writing fanfiction for two years, I sincerely hope I have improved in my writing. *grin* | |

| Superstition has been replaced by fact; a grey ship has been sighted; and Earnur is able to sleep in his own bed.... Could Sauron sense Laurendil's osanwe, I wonder? How could that complicate things further? (I know--don't add more complications!) Author Reply: Even if Sauron sensed Laurendil's ósanwë (quite possibly), I think he will be too late to do anything about it since 'his' troops are still looking for the 'rebel' elsewhere on the island. We'll have to see. | |
