| Unforthcoming indeed! But hopefully *dinner* will be forthcoming. Then again, Finrod's unconscious, and Glorfindel's too upset to eat: at this point, food would merely give him indigestion.... Author Reply: We'll see in the next chapter how the Valar provide for our benighted heroes. Finrod doesn't stay unconscious for too long, but Glorfindel remaining upset is another matter.... | |

| Oh s**t! Namo is one inscrutable cuss isn't he! Interesting problem, will they have to recreate the circumstances that brought them to the 10th dimension, or is there an easier way to do it, short of a repeat visit to Mandos? I am not sure Namo wants them back! More please, Lynda Author Reply: I'm not sure Námo wants them back in Mandos either. Don't worry, things always work out the way they should, though not necessarily the way we think they should. | |

| I forgot, how did they even get there in the first place? Also, I'm very curious though as to how Glorfindel and Finrod will get back to familiar territory. Thanks for updating and writing! Author Reply: You'll have to re-read the last chapter of Book One to refresh your memory. | |

| What everybody else said times infinity. But - it is great having this tale back and giving more! And I was most concerned for Vorondil. Thanks for taking care of the little one! Author Reply: You're welcome. Vorondil has stolen my heart somewhere along the way. I'm glad you are happy to see Elf, Interrupted back. I'm having loads of fun writing it. | |

| Finally the second part. I´ve done some kind of happy dance after seeing it. I really love Part 1. It helped me through some divicult times last year. I guessed after the last chapter of part 1 that they are maybe in the tenth dimension. Who else could that happen to but those two. I´m really sorry for their families. After finally getting them back and living through so much trouble and intrigues, comes the next crisis. The behaviour of the Valar leaves the impression, that they not really know what to do, exept maybe wondering what they did to deserve the trouble. As for no animal live in the tenth dimension, maybe the Valar can bring Finrod and Glorfindel some food,kind of Valarian pizza-taxi (don´t know where that image comes from ???). Water I would guess should exist there. I hope the next chapter comes soon. Author Reply: HiHel. I'm glad you enjoyed Book One so much and you are looking forward to Book Two. Yes, Finrod and Glorfindel are indeed in the tenth dimension and yes their families are quite devestated. Hopefully, they will be returned to Aman proper in due time. The Valar, of course, aren't quite sure what to make of it and I have a feeling one or two are wishing Námo had never released them from Mandos right about now. *grin* Anyway, we'll find out in the next chapter how the Valar will provide for them while they are in the tenth dimension. And don't worry, the next chapter will be coming soon. I plan to update on a regular basis, just as I did with Book One. Thanks for reviewing. | |

| I like the parallel structure in this between the two groups and the way the grievers are comforting each other. Loved the last couple of lines. I'm so glad you've started posting Part 2. YAY!!! Author Reply: Thanks, Ellie, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter and the way it was structured. I sort of wrote it as if I were cutting from one scene to another in a movie with the last line of one scene more or less being the first line of the next scene. | |

| Oh, my goodness, meldonya! What a chapter! I'm not really surprised at the reactions of the Eldar in the least. Arafinwë had me near tears as I read his heartbroken words. And Vorondil--well, I had a very strong suspicion that this would be his reaction to his Master disappearing. It was interesting seeing the reactions of the Valar. Nonplussed is the word that comes to my mind as far as their initial reaction. But then they pragmatically worked on getting things sorted out and doing damage control. I can just see Laurendil standing up to Irmo BTW. He is definitely one stubborn elf, isn't he? I think he's as stubborn in his own way as Glorfindel is. Beleg was very sweet and asked the question that I'm sure many were wanting to ask but didn't have the nerve to voice it. Beleg's straightforward trust and honesty reminded me that he is still very newly Reborn and like a child will say and ask things most adults are too worried or embarrassed to ask. His relief at finding out that Finrod and Glorfindel weren't dead was palpable and his comment regarding not being very happy about the situation was utterly charming. Amarië must be very upset. She and Finrod had only just gotten a chance to see each other after announcing their betrothal and now he's gone again. I wouldn't be surprised if she's afraid that it's going to be yeni before she sees him again, if she ever does. I wouldn't be surprised if she does some yelling at certain Valar herself. Glorfindel was reminding me of a kid doing the "Are we there yet?" routine that aggravates parents and siblings, and I admire Finrod for his ability not to snap his brother's head off. It must be very disconcerting to be in a place that looks familiar but is empty of all life and habitation. The utter silence would drive me absolutely crazy. Hmmm, no insects or animals, so how do the plants in the 10th dimension pollinate? You realise that I'm going to be thinking about that little issue all night, don't you? I know; "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of..." The 10th dimension doesn't necessarily operate on "natural laws" even remotely similar to our dimension, does it? I'm sure we'll find out more as Finrod and Glorfindel do. And the last line of the chapter was marvelous. Hello, Námo! Needless to say (so why am I saying it, you ask?), I can hardly wait until the next update. I want to know what happened just as much as the Eldar do! Excellent work! Edlyn Author Reply: I think the Valar are even more nonplussed than they let on because they at least know what happened, where Finrod and Glorfindel are and WHO helped them there. That last really has them thrown for a loop. They are, of course, trying to cover up their own sense of panic by acting calm and collected and refusing to answer anyone's questions. Laurendil may have traded his sword for a bedpan (so to speak) but he's still a warrior and his Life Oath to Finrod kick in the minute Finrod disappeared. Irmo realizes this, so ignores the threats and lets the Elf remain rather than returning to Lórien. Beleg, of course, is still an innocent and unafraid of Námo anyway. I'm sure many of the elves wondered if the two were dead, Beleg at least has the guts to ask and so eliminate that particular fate from the list. Glorfindel is still emotionally young enough to want answers from "big brother" even if they are the right answers. He just wants reassurance that everything is going to be okay. We will see in the next few chapters how his immaturity works against him in that respect. As for how things are done in the tenth dimension... remember all is mere potentiality, so it matters not if there are higher animal life forms that normally help pollinate our dimension. As you say, the laws of nature don't necessarily apply here. I will be updating on a regular basis so you won't have too long to wait for the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing. | |

| Obviously, I must be stupid. Extremely stupid. As to just how I missed it, I will never know... ~Cal Author Reply: You're not the only one to have missed the clues. I think several people read this chapter with presuppositions that blinded them to what they were actually reading. Nasty things, assumptions... they usually get in the way of the truth. | |

| Ok, I admit it. I yelled out, "NO!!! Don't stop there!" after Namo's appearance! If this had been a book in my hands I would have been frantically flipping the pages for what happens next. Alas, I must wait for the next update! Cheers for Elf Interrupted's return! And well worth the wait. The shock and bewilderment felt by all was written wonderfully. And you gotta love Beleg - speaking his mind, yet still respectful. Go Beleg! Poor Glorfindel and Finrod - they have clue as to why or where they are. Hopefully Namo will fix all that. Loved his entrance by the way - always the dramatic for him! What a place to end it - don't leave us tettering on the edge of that cliff for too long please! Author Reply: The opening chapters are going to be relatively short as I develop the plot but will become longer as the story progresses, so I'm sorry about that. Anyway, I'm glad you thought the wait well worth it. I will be updating on a regular basis so you won't be teetering on the edge of the cliff for too long, I promise. Beleg is pretty cool and of course Námo just can't resist dramatic entrances. *grin* | |
