| You do like snowstorms as plot devices, don't you? *grin* Those cats don't clearly understand good music if they tried to kill Maglor when he was finally singing. I was starting to suspect that he had lost his voice somehow, but that doesn't seem to be the case. But poor Maglor, his back must be really painful. Author Reply: Well, when you live in the Snow Belt and you are writing this story in the middle of the winter... *grin* And I doubt the cats understand or appreciate any kind of music, regardless of who is singing. Which just shows how evil they are. *grin* We'll see how the Elves make out in the next chapter. Thanks for leaving a comment, someone. It's greatly appreciated. | |

| Whew. What a thrilling chapter. The fight and the song were amazing. What a time for Maglor to finally let forth his song, and I liked how it, albeit briefly, mesmerised the cats. But his injuries were dire... I'm more than a little worried, given how he was starting to retreat into himself at the end of the chapter, how he'll manage the rough road ahead. Nailbiting stuff! I imagine I'll be thinking about this all week until we finally see how things play out in the next chapter! Author Reply: Hi Cairistiona. I'm glad you found the chapter thrilling. That is what I was aiming for. As for Maglor and the others, we'll see in the next chapter how well they fare in their run for home. Maglor's injuries are dire but not life-threatening, so he has a good chance of surviving this. Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate it. | |

| “Arthalion and I were able to see your fire from the plains. If we leave the fire burning, those creatures may think we’re still here.” Very clever. What a desperate situation. Author Reply: Very clever, indeed, Shirebound, and a very, very desperate situation. We'll see how they make out in the next chapter. Thanks for leaving a review. I really appreciate it. | |

| The singing and the feeling of joy were brilliant! You are such a good writer. My heart was pounding during the fight. So with yet another cliffhanger, we wait. Thanks again. Author Reply: I'm glad you found the singing and the feeling of joy brilliant, UTfrog, and that you found the chapter exciting. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. | |

| Finally Maglor actually sings his masterpiece, but everyone is so busy with urgent and important matters (such as trying to avoid being killed and eaten) that no one even has time to say whether they liked it or not. I hope he will sing again soon, and to a more appreciative audience haha. That said, this was a wicked cliffhanger. Poor Maglor injured and hardly fit to stand, and having to travel in a storm, while being hunted by those beasts. I can't wait for Friday. Was it just me, or was this chapter a little shorter than usual? Or maybe I was "gobbling" everything up again and didn't even notice. Author Reply: Hi Celeth. Isn't that just the irony of the situation? Maglor sings and the only critic are the cats. LOL! Sorry about the cliffie, but that's how the chapter wrote itself. And this chapter is about average in terms of length; the last two chapters were slightly longer than usual but not extremely so. Most of my chapters tend to fall between 3000 - 5000 words. Anyway, I'm glad you gobbled up the chapter and are looking forward to the next. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It's much appreciated. | |

| I don't comment chapter by chapter because (whispers) I sometimes read this at work... and I don't log in to anything there. But today I am at home, as it is a public holiday, and so I am taking the opportunity to say that I am still reading along, awaiting each new chapter eagerly (hence the reading it at work), and finding their whole journey fascinating. I'm guessing that the next chapter is going to be a long road home in itself as they struggle to get to the towers with an injured Maglor and the dread cats in pursuit. And I am, of course awaiting it with bated breath! Author Reply: I quite understand, curiouswombat. Of course, nothing says you can't read and work and then review when you get home. *grin* At any rate, I am glad you are still reading and enjoying this story and find the whole journey fascinating. We'll see how Mglor and the others fare in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it very much. | |
