| *deep breath* Do I feel relaxed any? Nope. I'll have to try again later. A child, eh? Abolutely not what I was expecting to come out of that bush, I'll admit. I liked that the first paragraph was from his POV; it added to the suspense since I couldn't tell what sort of creature was hiding. Nice touch that Varil thought Aragorn was attacking Legolas. And Varil's reaction on seeing Legolas up close was priceless. "He has funny ears... What is he?" It's a good thing Legolas is ill; otherwise, he might have had some choice words to say. In elvish, of course, so as not to corrupt young ears. ;-) A short chapter, but a nice one. :-) LKK Author Reply: You should relax while you still can! Things should calm down a little in the next couple of chapters but the ride will get a little bumpy after that and if I were you, I will not be holding my breath. LOL! I'm happy to know that you liked the child's reaction on seeing Legolas. I have no doubt that Legolas would sit and tell him all about elves if he had the strength. Varil would regret asking that question and would remember this lesson for a very very long time. LOL! The next chapter will be up in a few minutes and I promise it'll be a little longer and nooo evil cliffie. :D | |

| Thank goodness they're out of that cavern! Maybe the fresh air & sunlight will help the elf's spirit as it did (a little) for the ranger's. I suppose it's asking too much for the "something" that dashed out and rammed into Aragorn to be nothing more than a coney? ..... yeah, I thought so. :-( Another great chapter, Estelle. I'm anxiously awaiting more. Author Reply: Yes, sunlight and fresh air does wonders for the elf and man. Hehehe. It will definitely lift Aragorn's spirit a little. As for the thing that rammed into Aragorn... it's not necessary a bad thing... but who knows... well... I know but you'll have to wait and find out in 2 days. Or more like 1.5 days :D I promise the next chapter will not have a cliffie so you can take a deep breath and RELAX! :) | |

| Hey, good story! Looking at what you have done so far, I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. I'll keep checking back! Post more soon!! Author Reply: Thanks for your support :D I'll be posting the next chapter on Monday (but if you're in US, it's prolly your Sunday night LOL) so do check back then :) There will be a little plot twist when they get to the village. As for how they're gonna get there... well you'll just have to read and find out. *eg* | |

| Like it? Hate it? Please R&R :D "Like it?" What kinda question is that? After what's happened to the elf and his friend? How could anyone like it? Now, if you mean do I like the chapter? Well, of course I do! But that's only because you write well, create interesting descriptions, deliver strong emotional impact, and have good characterizations. But do I like what you're making the characters go through? Nope! Not a whit. Author Reply: Well... at least you didn't say you hated it. I think that's a good start LOL! But thank you for your kind words regarding my writing. I'm happy to know that I actually give those kind of effect to my readers. :D I'm sorry you did not like what I'm making the characters go through. If you dislike it now, you'll hate me later. *hides behind a solid stone wall* | |

| Ack! Things aren't looking too good for the elf! And the ranger isn't doing so well, either. Please update soon, even elves need to breathe. Author Reply: Oh yeah! Not good at all! They are both suffering and I'm loving every minute of it... I think I need a psychiatrist. Hahaha!!! Will post next chapter in a day or two. :) | |

| I'm enjoying this story a lot - poor Legolas! (Oh, I love saying that). I wonder how on earth the pair are going to get out of the cave with Legolas so badly injured. Concussion? A broken arm? Broken ribs? A punctured lung? Ai, this does not sound good at all! But with the state the pair are in I wonder how anyone can suspect them of any crime later in your story. Update soon, please! Jay Author Reply: Yessss, poor Legolas (I love saying that too and love torturing him even more *eg*) They will make it out... one way or another :) I'm trying to see how much pain an elf can endure before he snaps *vbeg* Elves are resilient beings. You can mutilate them to the maximum and they'll still live. *g* Okay, okay, I'm not trying to kill Legolas or anything so you can put down that knife! *backs away slowly* As for the crime, you'll just have to wait and see. Heh heh heh. *bounces off with evil plot bunnies* Wanda | |

| wow! good grammar, and an intriguing story line, despite the fact that the "legolas looses elven grace and is injured" angst has been done - i just wanted to know if this is going to be primarily angst/misery? Normally i have no problem with it, but lately i can't seem to find anything that's NOT misery and. . . it gets depressing. however, I'm not criticizing. I like your work so far and think it shows promise. Good luck, and keep up the good work! lembas7 Author Reply: This is an "angsty and misery" fic with lots of pain and blood but all will end well... I promise :) I've rated it R just in case there are some readers out there that don't like this kind of story :) I hope you will continue reading despite the fact that it's not a happy fic *LOL* | |

| *Dead elves don't glow* LOL. As serious as the situation is, that line made me chuckle every time I read it. I liked the repetitive use of the line. To my mind, it became like a mantra that Aragorn was uttering. I hope Legolas wakes up soon. Aragorn could use some peace of mind regarding his friend's condition. (Although I doubt Aragorn is going to get a fully peaceful mind for some time to come!) Another good chapter. :-) Author Reply: Yep, Aragorn was chanting the line over and over in his mind... spinning round and round like a merry-go-round *g* Will Legolas wake and put Aragorn mind at rest? Hmm... I don't know *LOL* Guess you just have to wait and see... ;) | |
