It would be Olorin who would coin the name "Hide and Peek" for the way the Maiar would check around corners and such to keep from frightening the children before materializing. *grin* But it's a good thought, and over time will hopefully keep the children calm.
Your description of how the children's actions changed were spot on. All the variations were quite appropriate to their ages and development, and regression is most certainly not unusual when a very young child is traumatized. It's unfortunate that Sorondil and Oromendil ridiculed Veryandur, but I'm glad that Irmo was able to comfort him.
I like Lisselinde very much. You have a gift for making the Maiar's personalities come alive, and I enjoyed meeting this new Maia.
I was quite amused by Lindorille's escape attempt, although I'm saddened by the fact that she feels the need to get away like that. It really is quite comedic to envision her hiding from the two Maiar and the Loriennildo, the other Maiar taking bets on which way she'd go, and how far she would get. I laughed out loud as it took Este to get that Reborn ellon past her without either of the elves knowing the other were there.
All that activity and Lindorille has no clue! I laughed again about Olorin having primed the pony as to what to do and where to go. Poor Lindorille trying to get the pony to go where she wanted.
I thought Olorin making that comment about the Children stealing horses in order to cheer Lisselinde up was cute, but it really pointed at her compassion for the elleth too.
The elleth shook her head, still refusing to look up. "No. I want to go home. I don’t w-want to be h-here," she stammered, beginning to cry. "L-lord Findaráto isn’t here. I don’t want to be here." My first thought when I read this was that "here" can't be home because Finrod isn't here--sort of like "home" is a person rather than a place.
The handkerchiefs bit was cute, and was a nice break in tension.
"Creative Punishments for Thralls, Elflings and Other Recalcitrant Underlings" *giggle*
Putting all of the elflings to work was a good idea. I like the mental image of Eruanna sitting with Elindis learning how to embroider, and that of Veryandur working in the herb garden. But what I liked best of this part was Master Meneldil coming up with what to do with Sorondil and Oromendil. "Hmm... they’re children pretending to be adults." He gave his lord a humorous look. "What if we put them with adults pretending to be children?" Obviously his period of meditation did him a lot of good because the old Meneldil would not have thought of this solution. So good to see him having learned from his experiences too. And ultimately this will be a good lesson for the boys in how not to grow up too fast.
In that last paragraph, when Irmo said "I need to consult with my brother," my mind immediately went to when Feanor's mother gave up her will to live in the SIL. I'm sincerely hoping that Lindorille's condition isn't quite that grave. (Of course we have that other tale of yours in which Erestor returns to Valinor and meets Lindorille all grown up and Finrod's squire... so that is a comforting thought, as long as that is part of this timeline and not an offshoot. *grin*)
Extremely well done chapter! You managed to stir all of my emotions as I read, and have left me intrigued once more.
I hope that we find out what happens to Aldundil and Vorondil soon, though. As much as I want to see how Glorfindel and Finrod get back home, I'm fascinated at the potential plotlines and situations that exist in the different groups affected by their disappearance. There's F&G of course, and then the elflings and their caregivers in Lorien, and there's Aldundil and Vorondil at Nienna's home, as well as the kings back in Vanyamar, Tiron and Alqualonde, and all those other people whose lives are affected by the spectacular denoument of the Tourney--including those who still have grudges against the Reborn.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
Author's reply
Olórin is quite the Maia and we see here the personality that becommes Gandalf 4876 years later when we meet him in The Hobbit.
I'm glad my descriptions of the children ring true. You and I talked about what reactions they might have to their situation and how the adults around them would try to deal with them.
like Lisselinde very much. You have a gift for making the Maiar's personalities come alive, and I enjoyed meeting this new Maia.
Thanks. I try to make each one as individual as possible even if they only show up for a short time in the story. Lisselindë and the other Maiar in charge of looking after the children are sort of a nod to the idea of "Guardian Angels" and perhaps this is where the idea originated. *grin*
I think Lindorillë may have a crush on Finrod (though she's unaware that that is what it is) and that's why she's acting the way she is, not wanting to be where Finrod isn't. Her deepening depression is a part of this. Hopefully, with Námo's help, Irmo will be able to bring her out of her depression so that she doesn't fade completely. And as far as I know, the Erestor tale is part of the same timeline, so we at least know that there's a happy ending for Lindorillë.
We will actually be seeing what is up with Vorondil and his atar in the next couple of chapters and then take a peek at what Sador, Beleg, Laurendil and Ingwion are doing before we return to Finrod and Glorfindel who are still waiting for Manwë to show up and explain things to them. *grin*
Thanks for a great review. I really appreciate it.

Shattered is definitely the word for how those who saw Finrod and Glorfindel disappear must feel.
I love it that Alassiel would not leave the children. She's grown up a lot in the last little bit, hasn't she? And Melian is the perfect one to be Irmo's back up. And the perfect one to comfort Alassiel when it it no longer necessary for her to put on a brave face for the children. It's very interesting to compare this arrival in Lorien with her first one.
I wanted to weep when Irmo begged for Alassiel to trust him.
And I wanted to cuddle the elflings when they found out that they were to see Lord Irmo. I could just see little Veryandur clutching his toy horse. (BTW, I thought it very classy of Aldundil to thank him for lending the toy to Vorondil.)
I was amused by the way the kids were amazed at the fact the Valar have things that they aren't allowed to do. Sounds just like my kids' reactions when I informed them that I can't do everything I want too.
The lesson about oaths and how they stand when the oath's keeper is absent is an interesting thing to think about when we look Glorfindel's concerns over the oath he swore to Turgon... Irmo has pretty much confirmed that Glorfindel's oath is still extant and valid and must be upheld, if we go by what he tells the children.
Lindorille's flight reminded me of Ingwe's adventure when his fea ran back to Cuivienen in some ways, particularly how the fear took hold and nothing else seemed to register. Olorin's gentle treatment of her reminded me of how Ingwe was comforted until he returned to himself, so to speak. Of course, it's not surprising considering who Olorin learned from!
I can understand that after Glorfindel and Finrod's disappearance, any vanishing on the part of an apparently corporeal being would be terribly disturbing to the children. I thought that Irmo's bringing Elindis as "reinforcements" was an excellent idea. And Elindis' method of getting Eruanna to respond was inspired. Nothing more tempting to a child than the opportunity to correct an adult.
This was a sad chapter, but you still managed to have moments that made me smile in it too. Well done, as always!
Author's reply
Yes, it is interesting to compare Alassiel's first arrival to Lórien with this one. She has definitely changed for the better.
I think all children believe that once you are a grown-up you can do anything you want, since all they know is that they can't. I know I remember feeling that way myself when I was Veryandur's age. *grin*
Even though Finrod isn't there the oaths these children took are still binding if only for a term of time (six months or one year). Glorfindel's oath of course is a Life Oath and that works differently, but oaths are oaths regardless and these children are beginning to learn the consequences of taking them.
Your comparing Lindorillë's flight with Ingwë's is very interesting and one I hadn't thought on. There are obvious differences, since Lindorillë doesn't flee in fëa only, but certainly the gentle treatment until they return to themselves is similar.
And what child could resist correcting an adult? LOL Which is why Elindis is smart to do what she does in order to bring the child back to herself.
Thanks for reviewing, Rhyselle. I appreciate it.

Hello! I'm back among the living! :) My knee surgery went well, but recovery is slower than expected and I'm still hobbling around the house for another week before I head back to work half days for a week.
Anyway, I have been reading your chapters and enjoying them, but sitting here and reviewing has been beyond my capabilities lately. I need wireless so I can do this from a comfortable chair somewhere else! :)
I feel so sorry for these elflings... much more sorry for them than even for Glorfindel and Finrod. Even though Glorfindel is 'young', at least he has memories of difficult times and going through them successfully and hopefully will be able to deal with what is happening to him - eventually. *grin* But, these little children are so lost and adrift from everything they know and love that I really worry for them, even if they are with the Valar and Maiar. I hope they aren't all separated for too long!
Author's reply
Hi, Radbooks! Glad you're back and all is well. Recovery always seemes to take longer than everyone, including the doctors, expect, but hang in there, the end is in sight.
Anyway, you're right about Glorfindel. As badly as he is taking all this he does have memories of past times when things were rough (e.g., crossing the Helcaraxë) but he managed to get through them. The elflings don't have such experiences to fall back on. The separation won't be for too long but it will be long enough for everyone.

Maybe Námo needs to provide Finrod with some stationery? Hopefully letters would be tangible proof to all those concerned for them that he and Glorfindel are well. This would have the added bonus of keeping Finrod and Glorfindel occupied, with less time available for fretting. On the other hand, if they wrote everyone who's concerned about them, they’d have *considerably* less time to think about how to get out of the Tenth Dimension.
Then again, they could also use the stationery to make lists of possible ways to get out of the Tenth Dimension. I'm imagining some Rube Goldberg gizmos too.... Multiple colors of ink are a must!
And when that got boring, Glorfindel could take out his pique with the Valar by trying his hand at caricatures.... [Though I find myself instead imagining a series of Dover Press historical paper dolls: "Great Fashion Designs of the Second Age: the Valar: Paper Dolls in Full Color." Doubtless Glorfindel later created a set for elfling Arwen....]
Author's reply
I doubt the Elflings would have accepted letters as proof that Finrod and Glorfindel were still a live and well since just anyone could have written the letters and signed Finrod's name to it. Possibly the Valar realize this and so have not bothered to provide them with paper and quills and ink. *grin*

Yes, what IS it with these Firstborn and stealing horses? First Glorfindel, then Alassiel, and now...*nods in complete agreement* *sighs* What to do with them? *grin*
I love the aurae...the colors are so shiny and pretty and shiny, particularly Olorin's. And I like the meanings too ^_^
How long is Finrod going to be stuck in the tenth dimension with Glorfi? His elflings miss him!!!!!! Oh and I like the name of Finrod's "book"...We don't stock it at Barnes & Noble, though. *grin* At least, I don't think so. Does it have an ISBN number? *chuckle*
*heart breaking at the end of the chapter* No...No! Poor Lindorille! What's happened? Has she left her hroa voluntarily and gone to Mandos?
~Kaylee!
*VERY worried about Lindorille and the other elflings...Not to mention Finda and Glorfi!*

I doubt Finrod's book has an ISBN number, sorry. *grin*
As for how long Finrod and Glorfindel will remain in the tenth dimension, that remains to be seen, but it won't be for too long, else there's no more story really.
The end of the chapter is indeed heart-breaking. While she hasn't left her hröa voluntarily yet, she is definitely beginning to fade. Hopefully help will come soon.

I wonder what is in the air in Lorien that causes young ellith to ran away and steal horses.
If Irmo tells Finrod about this incident, he will shurely write the book. Could become a best-seller among all the other elven lords, not to mention the valar.
Our good Master Healer can be quite devious if needs be. Yes, there is hope for him. Could need the book,too.
Poor Lindorillë, I hope she is not fading.
Author's reply
I'm sure we could all use that book for one reason or another. LOL
Meneldil isn't really a bad person, just too set in his ways, but being away for a while to 'meditate' has helped him loosen up a bit and become a more effective and better Healer.
I'm afraid that Lindorillë is indeed fading, but hopefully they will be able to convince her not to.

Oh, poor Lindorille, I think she might have a bit of a crush on Findorato! Grief can affect people in differant ways and the Elflings are grieving, even though Finrod is not dead, in their minds he is. I hope Irmo and Namo can help her.
More please,
Lynda
Author's reply
I suspect you're right about Lindorillë having something of a crush on Finrod. And grief does affect people in different ways as we see with the Elflings and their various reactions to the situation. In spite of what the 'grown ups' are saying, including the Valar, they must think that their new lord is indeed dead, since he obviously isn't there any longer. I think it will take more than just Irmo and Estë to help her, though. Nothing less than seeing Finrod again will do the trick, I fear.

I for one would fear any "punishment book" of finrod's :-)
It is very amusing the way everyone in Lorien is covertly watched and the betting that goes on between maiar. I also think it is great seeing the maiar's delight in the "Children". Putting the two difficult ones with the Reborn was perfect. Am worried about the last depressed one, though.
Looking forward to more! Do I have to keep saying that or can we take it as a given? Or do you just like to hear your faithful flock of readers say it? Instead of "baa" or "mooo" we say "Looking forward to more" and "Can't wait for the next update".
Author's reply
I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of any of Finrod's punishments, either. *grin*
Well, not EVERYONE in Lórien is covertly watched, but certainly the children are, and for good reason. Besides, everyone needs a guardian Maia once in a while. *grin* I'm sure Lindorillë will be fine eventually, but it won't be easy bringing her out of her depression immediately.
I'm glad when readers tell me that they are looking forward to the next installment, though it gets tiresome when some of them demand (not ask) for more or insist I update more often than I do, but I guess that goes with the territory. I suspect if I updated every other day they would still be dissatisfied. *grin*

Wise decision to forbid the Maiar to appear out of nowhere and to disappear into thin air again, at least for the time being. After all that happened, a few people are bound to panic, particularly Reborn who may have been at the Tournament.
Poor elflings. I am so sorry particularly for Eruanna and Veryandur. It is a bit much they’re put through lately.
Have to agree with Olórin. When I learned that Lindorillë was on the way to the stables, I wondered why the stealing of horses seems to be a favourite pastime for the elves ;-)
Ah, so Irmo has borrowed Finrod’s book about ‚Creative Punishments’? *snicker* Well, even the Valar can learn something from the children now and then! And though I didn’t like Meneldil very much before, it seems I have to give him credit for a good idea for once.
But now I am worried for Lindorillë. That doesn’t sound good, not at all. It is about time that the Valar figure out how to bring back our two strayed warriors!
Author's reply
I suspect that both Irmo and Námo have an entire contingent of Maiar on watch amongst all the Reborn who were at the tournament to ensure that they don't panic or do something precipitous.
Children, of course, are less able to process certain things in their lives as easily as adults, even those who are recently Reborn, and so they need special attention. And I suspect that Irmo has been looking for an opportunity to take a page out of Finrod's book of 'Creative Punishments' and Lindorillë fits the bill very much. *grin* Unfortunately, she is taking things too much to heart and is in danger of fading.
We won't be going back to Finrod and Glorfindel immediately though. We still have to see what is happening with Vorondil and his atar before we get back to our two strayed warriors, but never fear, it won't be long now.

Irmo and Est¨ and their people are going to have their hands full with distraught elflings (and elves). Poor little elflings - first they had to learn that everyone has to accept certain rules and can't always do what they wants, even the Valar themselves. This had to be rather confusing (and disappointing). Second, after the disappearance of Finrod and Glorfindel it was only too understandable that they panicked when Ingil did the same. How should they know there's a difference?
Elindis did a great job in calming down Eruanna. Mothers still have a few tricks up their sleeves, even if Maiar and Valar don't know what to do.
Did anyone ever tell you that you don't need cliffies to keep your readers interested? Not that I don't appreciate or enjoy this chapter, far from it - but I still want to know more about Glorfindel and Eärendil *sigh*
Author's reply
It's not that I purposely left Finrod and Glorfindel hanging, but in order to tell the story completely, I had to leave them where they were and backtrack to other characters to show what effect the ellyn's disappearance was having on others, especially the elflings. We will actually be seeing chapters on Vorondil, and find out what Sador, Beleg and some others are up to before we return to Glorfindel and find out about Eärendil. Sorry about that, but with so many characters wanting a piece of the pie, so to speak, I have to do a little bit of jumping around until I can get Finrod and Glorfindel back where they belong. Glad you liked the chapter anyway.

Author's reply
I'm sure it never occurred to any of them that they might have to be extra careful with the children given the circumstances that has brought them to Lórien. And Elindis, being a mother, has a few tricks up her sleeves the Maiar never heard of. *grin* In the next chapter we will see how all this plays out.

Wisest of the Maiar was Olórin.... [I can’t pass up the opportunity to quote that, since I was reading it literally just a few minutes before finding this chapter was up.]
Yes: this is *not* a good time for the Maiar to disappear into thin air. There’s already been *more than enough* disappearing into thin air, as far as these elflings are concerned!
When the Valar need help, they turn to Elindis. *snicker*
And meanwhile, back in the Tenth Dimension ...?
Author's reply
Well, I think in this case, Olórin just happened to be in the vicinity so he was able to be of help. And who better to ask for help with children than someone who is a mother herself? Certainly Elindis has had more experience with dealing with children than the Maiar.
We won't be returning to Finrod and Glorfindel too soon. We need to see what else is happening around Aman first, but we will return to them eventually.

Elindis, being both a Elf and a mother has more experience with deasling with children than the Maiar do, so Irmo isn't so much being sneaky as he's being smart. And Irmo is pretty cool... almost as cool as his older brother. *grin*

Nice to return to the little ones to see their reactions to the events. Children by nature are curious and for the most part accept some facts as natural, such as Finrod and Glorfindel being returned eventually. They have faith in the Vala!
And of course, they will learn that not even adults can always do as they please! There are always rules!
Ces
Author's reply
Because they have no other means of determinine reality, except their own experiences and what adults tell them, children are often more accepting of things as natural and are more trusting. I think all children see the adults around them as being free of 'rules' (I certainly did at their age) and only in growing up do they learn otherwise.

Hi, Lyn. Yeah, the tea party image was too good to pass up. LOL Glad you liked it. It shows that the Valar are quite capable of laughing at themselves, always a healthy sign. When people are unable to laugh at their own foibles, that's when you get into trouble.
We'll learn soon enough what Manwë will tell Glorfindel and Finrod but we need to take a slight detour back to Aman to see what else is happening while the two elves are languishing in the tenth dimension, but I promise I won't keep the readers waiting too long for Manwë's visit.

So the Valar are trying to get the two elve´s trust back. I guess that will be hard. But that comes from lying. You need more and more lies to cover them. They really should know better.
Can it be that this little detour in the tenth dimension is Eru´s way of telling the Valar that he don´t approve of their meddling with Glorfindel´s brain?
But I really liked the images the Valar send each other. Particularly the Tea Party.
Author's reply
The Valar never lie, nor did they lie to Glorfindel. They merely made it impossible for him to see Eärendil's Star or to want to pursue leanring more about what happened to him. As for Atar's motives in all this, I suspect that you may be more right than wrong, though only time will tell. Atar has more than one agenda going.
I'm glad you liked the Tea Party. *grin* Though I doubt either Finrod or Glorfindel would have appreciated the joke.

Sometimes being given the answers isn't enough... it is usually better to have to find the answers for yourself. That way, you own the answers. Hopefully, they will indeed understand a little better the love of the Valar for them even if the Valar aren't as perfect in their love as the elves would like.

Trust restored is needed, and Glorfindel does trust--just not blindly any more. Rest will help as well, of course.

Yes, blind trust is almost as dangerous as not trusting at all. After this Glorfindel will (hopefully) be more mature and more discerning about where he places his trust. And rest always helps in such situations. It gives the body and mind a chance to recover from the shock of revelation.
