Ab 'Urth  by Fiondil 13 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 2 on 1/18/2008
Ah--an--interesting--remembering, in its way. Love the title and the allusions therein and within the poem that sparked it. Not an easy remembering, but a necessary one. And the red robe--the color of both life and death as well as passion--serves to warm and help anchor him.

As for WHOSE Elf he might be--hehehehe!

Author Reply: Yes, there are many allusions in the story and many different kinds of symbolisms. Apparently this was the only way Legolas was going to remember all of his past, by reliving his Judgment that forced him to review his past in brutal clarity. Not eacy, no, but definitely necessary. And the red robe is all those things and more.

I'm sure Aragorn and Gimli will have many an interesting debate over just whose elf Legolas is for many a year to come. *grin*

Glad you enjoyed this story, Larner. Thanks for reviewing. Now off to read the latest installment of Tenant.

Interesting. Now I can see that the real reason for writing these stories was to get another fellowship member in conversation with Mandos. Hee Hee. I enjoyed this little story, especially Gimli's reaction to everything. Well done.

Author Reply: Thanks, Nikara. I'm glad you enjoyed this. And hey, who wouldn't want to have a little chat with Námo? He's a very sympathetic listener. *grin*

Interesting to see this from Legolas' side, as it were, will he ever remember the actual chess game?
Did you have this in mind when you wrote Playing Chess?

Author Reply: Not really, but several people kept asking for Legolas' Judgment scene and this is how it came about.
