A very enjoyable ghost story - and one with what one can call a happy ending. Aragorn did after all manage to free poor Celebrindor of the curse Sauron had put on him.
It makes me wonder if any of the other ring-makers suffered a similar kind of fate

Author Reply: Hi Sunny. Now that you've mentioned it, it does make you wonder what Sauron might have done with the other ring-makers, especially after he killed Celebrimbor. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this story and I appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.

A beautiful story, and one of my favorites. I am glad the poor elf found peace and rest in the end.

Author Reply: Thank you, Ellynn. I'm so glad you enjoyed this.

So you did write before the Holidays, and a wonderful tale. What a terrible fate for the poor elf. Happy that Aragorn was able to help him. Happy Thnaksgiving again Fiondil! and thank you

Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed this, Fantasia. Thanks for letting me know and Happy Thanksgiving again to you.

I rejoice that Aragorn was able to bring to naught the curse Sauron laid on the poor Elf so long ago. The Heir of Isildur helping to turn away some of Sauron's evil even before the final battles against Mordor's forces! Well done, Fiondil.

Author Reply: Perhaps this was a dress-rehearsal for that battle. *grin* Thanks for letting me know how much you enjoyed this tale, Larner. I appreciate it.

What a delightfully shivery, yet touching, tale. I like to think that it was indeed Celebrindor giving Aragorn a soft farewell touch on his way to finally answering Mandos' call. And it seems that Aragorn was able to have a "practice run" at releasing lost spirits from their curse! Well deserving of its 1st place finish at Teitho.

Author Reply: I like to think so as well, Cairistiona, simply because I'm a sucker for happy endings. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate it very much.

what a sad and creepy tale, Fiondil. Poor Celebrindor knowing now what happened to his father. I´m so glad Aragorn found a way to help him. I only hope Lord Namo will renew his call and will finally take this long lost child home. Liked this tale very much and first place on Teitho was really deserved. Thank you for a wonderful evening read. Lai

Author Reply: Hi Lai. It is sad and creepy but also hopeful. I have no doubt that Námo renewed his call and Celebrindor went willingly to him. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks. for letting me know. I appreciate it very much.

Congratulations on your placing first in Teitho, I enjoyed this when I read it on the site and have enjoyed rereading it here.

I could see something like this happening, Sauron being who and what he was, he was probably too eager to get his hands on the ring to guard his thoughts and that is how Clelbrindel was able to pick up on them. I hope Namo was not too hard on Celebrindel when he finally reached Mandos, it wasn't his fault he couldn't get out of his hroa! I trust he is sleeping peacefully now or is he already reembodied and working for a certain jewel smith in Vanyamar?

Good one Fiondil,
Huggs,
Lynda

Author Reply: Hi Lynda. I'm sure Námo was very understanding and sympathetic and treated him very gently. And I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up working for a certain jewel smith in Vanyamar. *grin* I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it.

That was quite a surprise. Poor Celebrindor had to haunt such a small place for so long... I'm glad that Aragorn found a way to free him.

"“Ah… I didn’t know that,” the Elf said, sounding pleased for some reason. " After hearing about his father's death, how could he sound pleased? Or was he just happy to know at last what happened?

Author Reply: Hi someone. I think he was simply relieved to finally know what his father's fate was. I'm sure it must have been gnawing at him all that time. Anyway, thanks for leaving a comment. I appreciate it very much.

What a fascinating tale! Aragorn is so wise, and discovers a way to heal a troubled spirit that few might have thought of. I wonder if he remembered this experience, and was able to feel confident that he could release the Dead from their cursed existence later in his life? Very well done.

Author Reply: Hi Shirebound. I'm sure he did remember this in later life. I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.
