Dragonfire by White Wolf
Larner · 11 May 2006 · Chapter 21
Unfair--cliffhanger! So, Legolas has awakened, but to what? That we will see; and I have the curiosity to know what other tricks Allaura might have up her sleeves.
Author's reply
Are any cliffhangers fair? :o) That is the question. Indeed, we'll have to see. We'll also have to see what more Allaura can come up with, since she isn't finished yet.
Lady Saruman · 11 May 2006 · Chapter 21
Gosh, the situation is far worse than what any of us expected. Legolas's obsession with the stone has gotten him in a position which he would kill for the stone even if it is in his possession. Poor Aragorn. I think that the threat probably caused his heart pain more than the fact that it would frighten him. He didn't doubt what Legolas said would be true, but hearing the words come from his best friend's lips is enough to cause pain in the soul. As you've said earlier, elves are more sensitive and in tune with their surroundings, and so they could see inside the stone's inner core, and thus be drawn in more deeply than humans. So what he said was true. Estel was risking his life to help his friend but instead he is starting to get choked by Legolas. If Ricard weren't there Aragorn would have died. Strong as he is he still can't beat an elf. And Legolas's quick healing abilities have gotten him up, and that must have unnerved Ricard since he doesn't know that fact about elves, though Aragorn does. Hmmmmm I wonder what would happen next. Would Legolas still be dangerous in his obsession, or would he recover??? Stay tuned for the next chapter of "Dragonfire" by White Wolf to find out! What am I doing? Why am I telling this to myself and to you? I must have gone insane. The state testing has driven me crazy. I hate them. They're called CAT6, which stands for California Achievement Test, 6th edition. Four hours a day, for four days. Hurry! -Lady Saruman

That is a bad situation. Even though Legolas had the necklace, he didn't want anyone free to take it from him. What happened, knowing it and hearing it, does pain Aragorn, but at least he is able to understand what's going on with Legolas. Aragorn was very lucky that Ricard was there, because if he hadn't been, the ranger would have been choked to death. And Ricard would have been next. Ricard was very surprised that Legolas recovered from being knocked out as quickly as he did. He hasn’t had any experience with elves. You pretty much summed up what I was going to say. I was also going to ask if you had a blue stone that was making you a little crazy. :o) Yes, you must stay tuned. I hope you did well on your exam.

Oh my god.... this is the worst cliffhanger i have encountered in a long time! I just have one question...why did legolas lose so much blood from the arrows in the beginning? well, this is an extremely well written and original story, so update soon!
Author's reply
I think that's a good thing, because there are certainly a lot of clliffhangers out there in fanfictionland. The blood loss was just a consequence of the wounds. It adds more drama to the story when a character loses a lot of blood. Thank you very much. I will update at the end of next week.
Lady Saruman · 28 April 2006 · Chapter 20
Wow, that was a truly amazing chapter. I'm so glad that Ricard turned traitor against Allaura. Yay! *claps hands and jumps all over the place (tries to)* Since I'm writing this at my school, I have to keep it secret and make sure no teacher or any of the librarians sneak behind me and see what I'm doing --> that'll be completely scary. =( Treco DOES have a conscience after all...that's interesting! As you've said before, no dragon from his family did, so him being the first to have one is quite astounding, seeing as he broke the chain for the "no-conscience" dragons that were all before him. =) Seeing that Ricard had only agreed to help Allaura in the past only because he was scared of her, it was quite amazing that he decided to help Aragorn instead despite his fears of his wife. I wonder how husband and wife could have ever felt affection for each other in the first place...*stares off into space, wondering deeply* Well the good news is that Ricard now trusts Strider, though if I were in his position I wouldn't have because I would be scared that Allaura could surprise Aragorn and then break free and kill me. Certainly Ricard took a risk, because after all these years with his wife he should have known that she might have had tricks up her sleeve even without her necklace, and once she got free from the ranger, she would certainly kill him. Aragorn finds Legolas. Not a very good thing here. Since Legolas's obsession with the stone has been this long, I think it may be too late to be able to save him now. Oh no! You had better not do anything bad to him. He's suffered enough as it is. Poor Aragorn, I think I can feel his puzzled hurt when he finally found Legolas and the elf pushed him back. Interesting...your story now has ME enraptured instead....and don't take too long until your next update, please!!! -Lady Saruman P.S. This time, along with all the Hershey's, I will add Ferrero Rocher along with your usual chocolate load. Hopefully you will have finished all the chocolate that I'm sending now along with this review, because I've sent 2 tons of Ferrero and 3 of Hershey's. That'll be enough for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day!!! WOW! Chocolate paradise! I'll keep it coming if you keep the chapters coming. =) -Lady Saruman
Author's reply
Thank you. I hoped you would like it. I also hope you didn't get into trouble at school. Treco does have a conscience, and he isn't too happy to discover that fact, either. But I don't think he'll be telling any of his family about it. Maybe he developed one only because our elf and ranger are so compelling. Ricard isn't evil, he was just terribly abused. He's going to finally show his backbone, and if Allaura kills him, then at least he’ll be free of her. There's more I could say to explain, but that will come a little later in the story, so I can't reveal it now. The reunion was certainly not what Aragorn was expecting, that's for sure. As for doing something bad to Legolas, I'll have to wait and see what the plot bunny decides to do. I love Rocher. Keep it all coming. More soon.
Nayru · 28 April 2006 · Chapter 20
Thanks white wolf! My, how I enjoy reading your works!i'm glad that nothing's going right for allura! Ah! It served her right! But poor Legolas! Oh, My! what a terrible thing to happen to him! I jusrt can guess how Aragorn is feeling for elf friend. I feel especially, well, Shall we say, worried for Legolas as he's one of my most favorite characters! Please, tell me it will come out all right! Oh, please!
Author's reply
Thank you. Thanks again. I'm glad you like my stories. It's great to find a fan. Allaura is where she should be, but I'm afraid we're not finished with her yet. Legolas is in deep trouble, that's for sure, and you definitely should be worried for him. Aragorn will do his best, but will it be enough? I can't tell you just yet how things will turn out. You'll just have to stay tuned. :o)
sofia · 27 April 2006 · Chapter 20
Its never too late when it involves Legolas. Of course, I'm lying now. I'm looking forward to seeing how you get Aragorn to break out of Legolas' spell, if he ever does manage it. And what part Treco will play when he returns to Aragorn and Legolas.
Author's reply
Never say never. :o) However, we can only hope that in this case, you are right, and that Aragorn will be able to break the spell. Treco has a big part to play, so stay tuned.
Larner · 27 April 2006 · Chapter 20
The image of Legolas enraptured is a frightening one, somehow. Hope they can break the spell soon without causing permanent spiritual harm. Very fitting she should be held in her own vault. Perfect justice there.
Author's reply
That image is frightening. I hope you are right about breaking the spell. It won't be an easy thing to do, but if anyone can do it, Aragorn can, though he may end up needing Ricard's help. We aren't finished with Allaura quite yet.
Nayru · 27 April 2006 · Chapter 19
Greetings again legolass! I guess I'm obessed with your stories as Legolas with the necklace. Really! Please continue writing mellon-nin! *i call you a friend even when you might not consider me a fiend Oh well!* until later.
Author's reply
Having someone say they are obsessed with my stories is a great compliment. Thank you. I'm about to post the next chapter, so now you'll see just how obsessed Legolas truly is. I consider all of my readers friends.
Lady Saruman · 15 April 2006 · Chapter 19
Whoops, my bad again, the guards aren't dead...just unconsious...silly mistakes..
Author's reply
Yes, I was going to point that out in the previous reply, and then I saw this one. We don't know yet what has befallen the guards. Will they be found alive? Will there be dead bodies? Will there just be a pile of ashes? Stay tuned.
Lady Saruman · 15 April 2006 · Chapter 19
My apologies for the late review. School has certainly been very stressing for me, and so I haven't been on this site for half a month. I've already pulled two all-nighters due to projects. And no, I would never get tired of this story. I was just asking out of curiosity. Well, now everyone's in a mess of trouble except for Treco. Lucky dragon! Let's see, the guards are all dead, Legolas is somewhere with the stone, Allaura's very pissed off and trying to find him but finds Aragorn instead, and Aragorn won't be any better off with the evil woman, and Ricard's still injured from Legolas's "attack", you might call it. So now Treco's the only one who's escaped without trouble (if you don't count what happened to him before). I wonder what Allaura's planning next. Evil people never stop with their wickedness. >=( -Lady Saruman P.S. Once again, on with the chocolate showers!!!
Author's reply
School can be quite trying at times. I hope your projects went well. You are right. Treco is the only one who is currently free of trouble. However, I don't think he will get away unscathed. He doesn't believe he has a conscience, but I think it will prove to haunt him that he left those who helped him behind. Everyone else is in a pickle of one sort or another. Despite Aragorn being taken again by Allaura, I fear most for Legolas. His obsession is getting very serious. Allaura just wants things back the way they were before, with her in control, of course. She would do well to let the elf alone, get the necklace and be satisfied with Aragorn and Ricard and anyone else she could end up trapping. But she's too arrogant to let Legolas go. She still thinks she can have it all. Oh boy. more chocolate! Keep it coming.
harrowcat · 7 April 2006 · Chapter 19
A dragon with a conscience - now theres an interesting thing! And it never pays to ignore your conscience does it? I don't think that we have ween the last of him yet! And silly Aragorn you have only just escaped!
Author's reply
I don't think Treco believes he has one, sinply because no one in his family ever did. No, it doesn't. We'll have to wait and see if Treco does or not. Aragorn was so intent on finding Legolas, he blunders right back into Allaura's clutches. Can he get loose from her? Another wait and see mement. :o)
Larner · 6 April 2006 · Chapter 19
She just keeps miscalculating, doesn't she? Dragon is gone, Elf obsessed with what ought to allow her to harvest his life force and hidden in the most obvious place, guards out cold, Ricard lamed. And she thinks she can somehow control Aragorn now? She is VERY mistaken, I believe.
Author's reply
When you list all those things together, it does sound like Allaura hasn't a chance. Plus, she has had her way for so long that it's impossible for her to see things the way they truly are. However, she isn't entirely without resources, mostly a cunning mind. Things should get really interesting after this.
sofia · 26 March 2006 · Chapter 18
an action packed chapter, eh? I do hope that Treco decides to help Aragorn find Legolas in the end. Like Legolas could be coming out of the room or trying to find a place to hide and he comes upon the elf and... yeah.
Author's reply
I sure hope so. That's a nice idea, but I have other plans. You'll see.
Lady Saruman · 26 March 2006 · Chapter 18
Sorry, my bad about the last review. I KNEW that Treco was playing dead, not pretending to be asleep. I guess I wrote that because I was half-asleep at the time and so the idea of sleep was enticing. Haha Legolas was successful in getting away from both Ricard and Allaura, which was something that I think is way too easy because getting away from Allaura was supposed to be difficult or impossible. She wasn't supposed to be that weak, was she? Oh well. And Ricard is absolutely unprepared for the unexpected. Aragorn's plan worked, though that seemed too easy also. I thought that this plan would have a glitch to it, but it turned out to go very smoothly. His idea of trying to finding Legolas was futile, though. I guess that's too bad that Legolas managed to hide from Aragorn, though I thought that Aragorn would notice because of his keen ears too. It's sad to know that he ran right past the elf without any sign. By the way, is your story somewhere close to reaching its conclusion? -Lady Saruman ^_~ P.S. Here's some hershey's for you! _HH_HH__EEEEE__RRRRR__SSSSS__HH_HH__EEEEE__YY_YY__"__SSSSS _HH_HH__EE_____RR_RR__SS____ HH_HH__EE______Y_Y_____SS__ _HHHHH__EEE____RRRR___SS_SS_ HHHHH__EEE______Y______SS_SS _HH_HH__EE_____RR_RR_____SS_ HH_HH__EE_______Y__________SS _HH_HH__EEEEE__RR__RR_SSSSS__HH_HH__EEEEE____Y_______SSSSS
Author's reply
Without the necklace, Allaura is just an ordinary woman. She's not even immortal without it. Both she and Ricard were caught totally off guard by Legolas. That's why it was so easy for him to get away. Neither were expecting violence from him. Even Aragorn was surprised at how easy it was to defeat the guards. They, too, were caught off guard (pun intended). I think it may have been impossible, if he had had to fight all four at once. The glitch comes later. Legolas was being perfectly still, barely even breathing, and Aragorn was in a rush to find him, so he couldn't hear anything to tell him that the elf was so close. Why do you ask? Are you getting tired of it? I don't know how long it will end up being, but I can say it's closer to the end than it is to the beginning. Thanks for the Hershey's. I could almost taste them. Sleep depravation can do strange things to the mind. I wish I could put the blame on that. :o)
Larner · 24 March 2006 · Chapter 18
And now a comedy of doors, is it? Alas, Aragorn and Legolas are just missing one another, and we have no idea where Allaura might be or what she's doing. I do wonder what Treco will do with the four guards. Note--accidently added a k after thin in describing Ricard's slippers.
Author's reply
Near misses like that make me crazy(er), but they certainly keep the juices going. Allaura won't be far away, you can bet on that. That will not remain a mystery for too long. Thanks for the note. I made the correction.
harrowcat · 24 March 2006 · Chapter 18
Oh what a tangled web you are weaving. No sooner do we solve one situation than the next rears its ugly head. And we are loving it!
Author's reply
I specialize in tangled webs. I just have to avoid getting caught in them myself. :o) It makes me happy that you are loving it. Thanks.
Lady Saruman · 11 March 2006 · Chapter 17
Yes, Aragorn certainly has a plan, but I'm not sure that it is too wise, because it seems kind of obvious what he's going to do, unless the guards are like, really stupid. No, I don't think this plan will work exactly how Aragorn would want it to. The plan may work partially, but it would be too good to be true if the whole plan worked out (unless you're one of those writers who are always optomistic and make things always go right whenever there's a conflict). It would be very hard to get Treco to get to sleep while Aragorn was all ranting about we should do this, we should do that....it's so wied. And the three way situation between Ricard, Legolas, and Allaura. Well, it turns out that Allaura's inexperience with elves has cost her a lot. And Legolas is so absorbed and obsessed with the blue stone so greatly that I think that there will be no way to draw him out of its depths, whatever the elf is seeing. Well, the way your describing it was like Legolas would simply die if he did not get the sapphire stone. I feel sorry for Ricard because he married a woman who did not like him at all except on certain occasions in which she would use him to carry out her heinous plans. And since he did know his wife, he would of course know what she would do, though I would like to say that it won't be anything pleasant--only horror or drama or something else that is dark and mysterious. Well, now it turns out that Allaura is just another being who has no power at all if she did not have the sapphire. She may be immortal, but she might not be able to withstand things. Please update as soon as you can! Hershey's kisses and hugs, Lady Saruman
Author's reply
Remember that the guards think Aragorn has probably been eaten by the dragon, or at least, flamed by him. They don't expect the two would be working together. If you know my work, you know I rarely have things so without a hitch. I don't like easy. My characters have to build - character. :o) Treco isn't sleeping. He's playing dead to lure all the guards into the room. They won't fear him, if they think he is dead. Allaura had certainly underestimated elves and this elf in particular. Getting Legolas free of his obsession is definitely going to be a challenge. He doesn't think he'll die without the stone, because he's determined he'll get it back. Ricard is a victim as surely as anyone ever was, but Allaura did have feelings for him when she married him. He just came second to her need to sustain her immortal life. What happens nect will indeed be unpleasant. The question is: for whom?
Delrauko · 10 March 2006 · Chapter 17
Loving it! cant wait till Legolas kicks her ass! another chapter please! :-D
Author's reply
That's great. I'm glad you are. Let's hope he gets to do that. There are no guarantees.
sofia · 10 March 2006 · Chapter 17
you're leaving cliff hangers everywhere. So Ricard is her husband, I figured as much, since his tongue wasn't cut out he couldn't of been a guard and your description of him also seemed to fit of what you mentioned before. Good chapter.
Author's reply
Now is it my fault that the chapters just happen to end at the point that turns them into cliffies? :o) Those were good ways to guess Ricard wasn't a guard. Thank you.
Larner · 10 March 2006 · Chapter 17
The word is "piqued" rather than "peaked," btw. So, our lady has underestimated the strength of the floor of her dragon dungeon, the attraction the necklace holds for Elves, and the wiliness of Rangers. Only her husband remains predictable--for the moment, at least. Will be interested in seeing how the dragon playing possum works out. Bless Aragorn for his ability to think fairly rapidly in such circumstances. And the dragon wouldn't think of eating a Man, would he? Man poisoning? Hehehehe!
Author's reply
Thanks for telling me about the mistake. It's funny, but I can spot those kinds of errors in other stories. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people write about the reigns of a bridle when they mean reins. I'm somewhat more blind to my own errors. :o) Yes, Allaura has done a lot of underestimating. It remains to be seen what price she pays for that. Where Ricard will fit in is also a mystery. Legolas is lucky to have a wily ranger as a friend. Aragorn will do anything to save that elf. Dragons won't eat just anything, bless them, otherwise the wily ranger may have been lunch, and that would have been that.
Larner · 10 March 2006 · Chapter 16
Oh, good--Aragorn has a plan? Excellent!
Author's reply
He does indeed. Let's hope it works!
SilentEagle · 9 March 2006 · Chapter 17
Hmm... I wonder if Aragorn's plan is going to work, it might half work in so far as it get Legolas and him back together, but will it fully work I wonder? Or will Legolas not want to leave because he wants the necklace? A great chapter, as always. SilentEagle
Author's reply
That's an interesting theory. I think Aragorn's plan could be considered a success if it gets him and Treco out of the dungeons. What happens after that will likely involve forming another plan or perhaps just winging it. Time will tell how Legolas will react, since the necklace is all he wants right now. Thank you.
Delrauko · 26 February 2006 · Chapter 16
Im curious about this idea of Aragorns, and im glad Legolas stood up to the evil chick- even if he only wanted the necklace. im loking forward to the next chapter!!! :-D
Author's reply
Aragorn's plan will be revealed in the next chapter. Let's hope it works. :o) Legolas would stand up to anyone, I think, if he beleived he could get the necklace back. He's obssessed with it. More soon.
Nayru · 24 February 2006 · Chapter 16
Wow! Well, first of all, you continue to impress me! And I'm really glad things are going well for you (or so I hope). It was really intersting to have Aragorn and Treco together. But what was the really candy to my eye was Legolas's actions. You sure don't want to mess with an elf! He sounds deadly and not like himself. But I really did love it! Keep going! Nayru.
Author's reply
Thank you very much. All is well. I'm glad they are together, too. Allaura is finding out what can happen when she crosses an obssessed elf, that's for sure. More soon.
sofia · 24 February 2006 · Chapter 16
OOhh, Legolas is getting aggressive. I'm glad Treco and Aragorn are reunited, and I want to hear Aragorn's plan!
Author's reply
I'll say. He wants that blue stone. You will hear all about the plan in the next chapter.
