I can appreciate how the child feels. Alas, to be ill and forced to stay inside, even though he has a means of seeing, too, now! Very nice intimate moment here.

What a loving gift Elrond gave his foster son! Two actually - the eclipse itself and the explanation of why Estel should not feel eclipsed himself. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I never thought of it much as a gift, but it really does seem like it, doesn't it? :) Thanks for reading! ~Cal

A lovely story. I think you exploited very well the analogy between the eclipse of the moon, and Aragorn's fear of never achieving the perfection he attributed to the elves. Well done.

I'm glad to hear that the analogy worked out well without being annoying. :) Thanks for reading and reviewing! ~Cal

Such a sweet glimpse of the love Elrond has for Estel. The symbolism of the eclipse and Estel's worries about being lost in the shadows of the "perfect" Elves is a good one. I imagine it was often hard for Estel to come to grips with being different from all but his own mother.

I blame the eclipses on the fact my brother loves talking about them. Sometime after that, I went and looked up "eclipsed" in the dictionary...and the story was born months after that. *grin* Thanks for reading! ~Cal

Hi I think this story is great. Elves and humans aren’t the same, and I liked the way you had Elrond and Estel discussing it. I once saw an eclipse. I don’t remember it clearly, but it was frightening and interesting the way the moon disappeared. I hope you have a chance to see a good one!

Indeed, they aren't the same. Ooh, you were lucky to catch that one. I hope I can, too. :) Thanks for reading. ~Cal

what a sad and at the same time lovely story. Elrond always knows the right words to say. I would have been hard pressed with the answer to such questions, as this: Eclipses don’t last forever, do they? I loved the emotional moment and it was captured perfectly. Thank you. Lai

And thank you for reading and reviewing. :) This story took a bit of time to write down; I had the basic idea, but not the exact words. It was only after a few months did I manage to piece it together. ~Cal
