Elf Academy 4 - The Unfinished Tales  by Fiondil 13 Review(s)
someoneReviewed Chapter: 5 on 2/29/2016
What...? What just happened? Was that Maglor's or Maedhros' silmaril?

I've been confused by the last few chapters, mainly because of Glorfindel's memory problems, but not nearly so much as by this one. Most of the main players seem to be dead now, and as (supposedly) dead people have been walking around, there seems to be something weird going on. I haven't read any reviews or review responses for a few chapters, and don't know what others think, but I have three theories:

1: The old group is being eliminated so the younger generations and mortals have the spotlight from now on. (Not really likely, though. Fiondil wouldn't just kill Glorfindel off, would he?)

2: The battle is going to be on two fronts, spiritual and material, and the story is going to be on those two, separate levels.

3: The line between death and living world is about to break in this war. (The most likely explanation, in my opinion.)

I sincerely hope that Namo is not going to make true of his threat if Glorfindel turns up on his doorstep... again. And I think I'm going to spend the week being confused by this, hopefully the next chapter will make things clearer.

Author Reply: The Weirdness never ends and Arthur was more than happy to confuse everyone with this story. Would he kill Glorfindel off? Maybe if it suited the story arc, but we all know that Glorfindel is not the easiest elf to keep in the Halls of Mandos!

As for your theories, you will have to wait and see! Arthur is full of surprises in this Elf Academy 4.

All right, the only thing keeping me from screaming out loud when I finished this chapter was the certainty that this is still just Glorfindel's nightmare, brought on by the Enemy. I'm beginning to wonder more and more if Farrell was ever a real person. Well, no. I imagine Farrell, nephew of Sam Bradford, WAS a real person. But has the Farrell the Elves knew ever been real, at least since he inserted himself into the story in present day? I wouldn't be surprised if he was some long forgotten servant of Morgoth playing his own game - or, since this is apparently the Dagor Dagorath, perhaps Morgoth himself.

*shudders at THAT*

Ew. Terrible thought, Kaylee! >_<

However. The talisman being a Silmaril puzzled me. It has to either be Maglor's stone or Maedhros', and since Maglor's had a different fate (see the story where Maglor returned to Aman *finally*) this must be Maedhros'. Was it mined out of the rock somehow? (Or taken from Thorin's body, if one subscribes to the theory that said Silmaril = Arkenstone)? Was Maedhros' body ever recovered? Is Earendil in danger? @_@

Everyone Glorfi loves has been getting shot down...literally in this case, it would seem, after all...

And so, as the Watcher-or-whatever-it-is drags Glorfi down into darkness, all I can do is pray things turn out better for Atto's favourite Balrog-slayer. He sure doesn't seem to be Atto's favourite at the moment, nettenyar. :(

Tye-melin, Atto, beta amiga nettenyar, Fiondilie. Hoping next week comes soon...

Author Reply: Well we are dealing with The Enemy here and we all know how tricksy he can be don't we? I think that those in the Blessed Realm are pretty safe Kaylee, so Earendil can feel safe.

Remember that the Enemy is not averse to showing everyone their worst nightmares, so everything is fluid.

Okay, this is definitely a nightmare that Gorfi is having, but is that a Simiral or the stone from the Elendimar or the Elessar stone? I know my spelling is way off on some of these but I'm at work on a short break and just had to respond quickly to this.

Author Reply: Don't worry too much, our resident Balrog Slayer is not that easy to kill!
