| I came away from this story feeling a bit sad: We know that Elwë and Finwë won’t meet again. And there will be a long time before Ingwë – and Olwë, too - will see him again, and he will die and be reborn first. And here Ingwë and Finwë kept hoping that he would come soon, only to see those hopes dashed. This is just a quicie comment, there may be more later. Now I am off to thread meat and veggies on skewers, and make a salad for this evening’s party Author Reply: It is a very poignant moment for them all, I think, realizing that they will not meet any time soon. Finwë, Ingwë and Olwë cannot even imagine that Elwë would actually die first before he is reunited with them. That thought has not entered into their hearts. Enjoy your party! | |

| Once again another excellant expansion of small snippit of Tolkiens universe. You're right, I can't see them waiting all that time before meeting kin again, I could see the more adventurous floating across on logs or something though! Poor Ingwe and Finwe, they will be waiting a long tine for Elwe. More please, Lynda Author Reply: Thank you, Lynda. I was never really satisfied with how the Silmarillion treated this momentuous event when the Teleri (or at least a fair number of them) finally come to Valinor. The idea that Finwë and Ingwë would just shrug and go on with whatever they were doing when the news arrives that their kinsmen have come never sat well with me, thus, this this story came to light. I'mm glad you enjoyed it. | |
