Very enjoyable story. Legolas remembering his childhood and life with Estel brought healing to his soul. I liked your idea of Olorin's purpose of bringing Legolas and Erin together and that Legolas will be meeting Erin's reborn family. The end made me laugh, poor Legolas fainting. Janet

I am glad you liked it. :) I nearly abandoned this, hopeless... Sadly I could not smuggle some scenes of the meeting between Erin's family and Legolas in there, although I had intended to do so when I was in the process of writing the beginning part. My hand has a life of its own when I am writing. LOL People must come to terms with their pasts before they can enjoy the present and look forward to the future. I tried to portray that in the story. Seems like I managed to convey the message - for once. :) As for the Maia's idea, I think he recognised both's need to come to terms with their pasts (Erin did have a problem, if you looked at the story closely), so he made the two meet in hope that they could work out their problems together. Well, at least it is my interpretation. Who could possibly know what is in the mind of a Wizard? ;) - Rey
