wow, brilliant story! i love the way you have swung from laughter and joy, to angst, to nail-biting and tragic.

i am looking forward to reading more!

Author Reply: thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate them. I´m glad the mix worked and hope you will enjoy the coming chapters too. Hope you have any nails left - you will need them. Thank you. Lai.

Good--they have both Elrond and Arahel out--there is hope for both of them, then!

Author Reply: they are out - yes, but that´s it. The first relief will quickly abate. Thank you so much for reviewing. Lai

Ay! Alas--hurt! And the child?

Author Reply: the child is lucky, but the Elf-Lords....thank you for the time to write. Lai

And what about Arahel as well--is he safe?

Author Reply: the efforts of the Elf-Lords can be not for naught,or? Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate it. Lai

The language is a bit stilted for such young children, but the playing and curiosity are spot on! Very nice! And I find myself wondering how Arahel might have become so ill!

Author Reply: I´m glad you liked the garden scene. I wonder myself what happened to Arahel, but if Elrond is not able to find out....Thank you so much for the review. Lai

Valar! Great story, good plot! And you write very good; your describing of things is great, I love it, you could literally feel the heat from that fire! I really like Elrond/hurt stories, but you won't kill him will you? Please don't! Update soon!

Author Reply: thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them. I struggled hard with the fire scene to make it real. I´m happy it worked. Elrond is one of my favourite characters too. The next chapter is on the way. Kill the Elf-Lord? We will see... Stay tuned. Thank you for the review. Lai.

Good start to the story! There's not so much fanfiction with Dunedain heirs other than Estel, so this is welcome, especially with Celebrian. The fire is very believable! I'm looking forward to more :D

Author Reply: thank you so much for the review. I liked it to explore the line of descendants at the time as the twins were young. I struggled hard with my imagination to create the fire-scene believable. The next chapter is on the way and the worst is yet to come. Hope you enjoy the coming chapters too. Lai

Can Elladan and Glorfindel make it? Are they badly hurt? Pleaes update soon.

Author Reply: I´m so glad you are anxious for an update, but I cannot possibly tell you, now can I? *g*
The next chapter is nearly done. Thank you so much for reviewing. Lai

One has to wonder what caused the fire, and why it wasn't detected earlier. Maybe we'll find that out later. Are the buildings of Rivendell made of wood? For the fire to spread so fast and so thoroughly, I am assuming they must be.

Author Reply: the fire had been detected, otherwise not so many had made it out. If the cause of the fire will be detected - we will see, and yes the buildings are mostly made of wood. Thanks so much for the time to write and the much appreciated review. Lai.

Nice start. Your grammar and spelling in the story itself is well done. I certainly couldn't write a story in german that was worth reading. For future reference, it might have been good to have some foreshadowing of the disaster to come. As it is, I was a little confused by this chapter since it did not seem connected to the summary.

Author Reply: Aiwen, thank you so much for the review and most of all for the praise with my english. You do not know what it means to me. You are right in backsight with the foreshadowing, but I wanted a nice start for the things to come, but I will consider this the next time. Thanks again for the advice. I really appreciate it for I´m still very new to this. Hope to see you at the coming chapters. You will not be dissapointed. Thanks. Lai
