Viresse · 17 January 2010 · Chapter 7: Hope and sorrow

Elladan's broken ribs are cretainly one of the physical concerns as they are not yet set and can be dangerous if there's any internal injuries where Maren and his wife would not know because they're not true healers. But Elladan's other wounds are not healing ... but because of his grief? grief for what? I can understand that Elrohir may feel grief because he half believes taht Elladan may be gone and he may have shut himself up that he cannot feel Elladan's weak but alive link. While Elladan's physcial injuries may already consume much of his energy already that I doubt he can concern about Elrohir's current state at the moment. So...why Elladan's wounds are not healing? What is Glorfindel referring body and soul?

Author's reply

Hi Viresse, Glorfindel is referring to, that an elf can also die when his mental stability is disturbed i.e. grief or a broken heart or something like that. Elladan´s wounds do not heal properly, because Elrohir has cut the bond with his brother and Elladan is not able to reach him, to draw some comfort or stenght. I think in his weakened state this does this affect his mental stability. Thank you so much for not just reading but thinking about and pointing it out. Hope I could help you. Glad you reviewed. Lai

It is indeed a concern when someone has been as badly treated as was Elladan. Now, to see the two brothers both steered back to living once more.

Author's reply

the important thing is to arrive home in time and that the brothers will find the way to one-another and back to life. Wait and see. The next chapter is on the way. Thanks so much for your comments. Lai.

Larner · 15 January 2010 · Chapter 6: Anxiety

All too likely thoughts and dreads to entertain in such a case!

Author's reply

poor Elrond indeed. Better to go on quickly to relieve the tension. Thank you for staying with my story. Lai

Larner · 15 January 2010 · Chapter 5: Despair and a bit of hope

Hooray! And hopefully the words sunk in enough to allow Elrohir to rouse and be alert by the time they return with Elladan. And all within the valley, particularly father and brother, know hope again! Now--to see justice done within a certain village of Men....

Author's reply

hopefully Elrohir is not to far gone and YES justice will come upon them! Thanks for your time. Lai

Larner · 15 January 2010 · Chapter 4: The stranger

Quite the situation for these to find themselves in. Now, for Elrohir to arrive and find them and offer the aid at his disposal.

Author's reply

Yes, I do not envy them and hopefully Elrohir is able to arrive soon. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it. Lai

Larner · 15 January 2010 · Chapter 3: Lies, nothing but lies

Definitely they should not give up as long as Elrohir feels his brother's presence somewhere nearby. Now, to find him! Hope the youth doesn't suffer for the information given, but have no hope for that, considering the mayor and his son.

Author's reply

Elrohir will definitely not give up, but even he knows that their time is running short. I hope with you for the youth, but the mayor and his son is a bad lot. Thank you so much for reviewing. Lai

Viresse · 8 January 2010 · Chapter 6: Anxiety

No...you can't stop there. Elrond's last line is hanging in my head "He would come too late to save his son"! Like how you paint Isiwen's fascination of meeting and speaking to an elf for the first time, like how nice Elladan's personality is that he'll say "Thank you" even though he's in such a horrible state to think and talk. Oh no...I echo Isiwen's thought... truly truly worry for Elladan's life! Please update soon.

Author's reply

Hi Viresse. The next chapter is already with my beta. Very glad you liked Isiwen´s fascination. Think she is acting like I would when meeting an elf...sigh. Now, Elrond should really hurry! Thank you so much for still reading and reviewing. Lai

Selene Aduial · 7 January 2010 · Chapter 6: Anxiety

Even though I know what will happen, I still find myself drawn into the story reading it here. Way to go, my friend. Hugs Selene

Author's reply

Dear Petra, thank you so much for the review. I´m glad you still like my story. And thank you again for your help for making this readable and your constant encouragement. Iris

Viresse · 1 January 2010 · Chapter 5: Despair and a bit of hope

Go Elrond...I doubt Elladan can hang on much longer! I think Elrohir will try to reach his tiwn also. Knowing that his brother is still alive may lift him from his current despair state. Guess that you'll let us know about the "rope" in next chapter instead. I'm already worried what Elrond's full diagnosis of Elladan's condition... is he in a coma?

Author's reply

Hi Viresse, uups the rope...I will explain in the next chapter, promise! *g*. I fear Elladan´s state is far worse than a coma; stay with me and find out. Thank you so much for still reading and reviewing. Lai.

ellie · 1 January 2010 · Chapter 5: Despair and a bit of hope

yay! there is hope if elrond gets there in time. good chapter1

Author's reply

Hello Ellie, thank you for the praise and I told Elrond to hurry, really! Thank you for the time to review. Lai

Viresse · 22 December 2009 · Chapter 4: The stranger

Although not saved by any healer, at least Elladan's life is prolonged for a while. Hope that help is coming soon, best if Elrond can arrive on time to give Elladan the proper care. I was wondering where were the ropes at first but then I think it was cut off by sharp stones while Elladan was in the river. Can't wait to read more. Merry Christmas!

Author's reply

Maren may not be a healer, but Elladan is nonetheless in good hands until Elrond arrives, albeit he should hurry. What happened with the ropes you will see at the next chapter. I´m glad you are anxious to read on. The update is on the way. Thank you so much for the review. A merry Christmas to you too. Thank you for reading. Lai

ellie · 22 December 2009 · Chapter 4: The stranger

yay he's been found! but he's in such a state! i hope help arrives soon...

Author's reply

Elrond is on the way, but you are right, he should hurry. Thank you so much for the review and for reading. The next chapter is already on the way. A merry christmas to you. Lai

Jay of Lasgalen · 22 December 2009 · Chapter 4: The stranger

Well, thank goodness Elladan has been found by people who are far more caring than Aduran and Harad! I like that they so desperately tried to do what they could despite their limited knowledge. Poor Elladan is indeed in a bad way. I suppose the head injury is why Elrohir can't sense him. Keep looking, Elrohir!!

Author's reply

albeit the humans cannot help, Elladan is in good hands until proper help arrives, but Elrond should hurry. The brothers are blocking themselfs in reaching the another. Stay with me and find out. Thank you so much for the review and a very marry christmas to you. Lai

ellie · 19 December 2009 · Chapter 3: Lies, nothing but lies

interesting story! I hope you haven't killed off Elladan! I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Author's reply

Hello ellie. I´m glad you are enjoying the story. Killed Elladan off? Stay with me to the next chapter and you will have a small glimpse of what happened to him. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Lai

Viresse · 14 December 2009 · Chapter 3: Lies, nothing but lies

When knowing how Celon suffered, somehow seemed to relive Elladan's horror. Luckily Elrohir can still feel his twin (or is that his own imagination only?). It's scary to know "Sometimes he had the feeling that the thread connecting them was vanishing entirely." Please let them find Elladan soon, don't let it be too late! I wonder if Elrond is sensing something darker if he's already accepted Elladan is dead. Yes, must punish the mayor and Harad!

Author's reply

let us hope that it is not his imagination and that Elrond is not sensing something darker. Stay with me and you will find out. I´m glad you are enjoying the story. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Lai

Jay of Lasgalen · 12 December 2009 · Chapter 3: Lies, nothing but lies

Elrohir's quite right! Of course they can't leave without searching for some trace of Elladan, even if it was just to find his body. (Which they won't, of course ... will they?)

Author's reply

for Elrohir´s sake I hope they will find Elladan and not just his body. Please stay with me and find out. Thank you so much for the review. Lai

Selene Aduial · 29 November 2009 · Chapter 2: An unfriendly welcome

Wow, A chilling start to your new story. Poor Elladan, they really got to him badly. I just hope the other elves will find him in time. I can't wait for more. Hugs Selene

Author's reply

Hello Petra, thank you so much for reviewing. I really appreciate it, especially from you. I´m glad you like the beginning of my new story and yes it´s chilling. Find him in time? Where would be the fun? I promise to update soon. Many hugs. Lai

Larner · 28 November 2009 · Chapter 2: An unfriendly welcome

Well, one individual will remember his arrival, a least.

Author's reply

Yes, but will Elrond and Elrohir find out in time and can he really help them? Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Lai

Larner · 28 November 2009 · Chapter 1: Images and Fears

Good weaving of the tension.

Author's reply

I´m glad it worked. Hope to see you at the next chapters. Thanks for reviewing. Lai

Viresse · 27 November 2009 · Chapter 2: An unfriendly welcome

Oh no! poor Elladan! Elrohir can hear Elladan when he called out to him, then Elrohir felt that Elladan was still alive.... so at least Elladan was ok that moment. But Elrohir could not communicate with his twin afterwards, things could not be good either. What happened to Elladan then? Did the water flow him somewhere on-shore but no help? I can't wait to see how Elrohir & Elrond punish Harad! Please update soon.

Author's reply

poor Elladan, indeed and it´s really a bad sign that Elrohir can´t feel his brother anymore and yes, Elrond and Elrohir are not really amused when they find out what Harrad had done to Elladan. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I promise to update soon. Lai

Jay of Lasgalen · 26 November 2009 · Chapter 2: An unfriendly welcome

(That should read 'least'. I knew I should have previewed!)

Jay of Lasgalen · 26 November 2009 · Chapter 2: An unfriendly welcome

Eek!! I know Elladan won't die (at lest, he'd better not!) but how on earth will he survive this? I'd like to see Elrohir's revenge when he finds out what the two men have done to his brother :>) Jay

Author's reply

No, he´d better not, but can Elrohir cling to this hope as well? The men should indeed go out of Elrohir´s way when he finds out. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Lai

viresse · 22 November 2009 · Chapter 1: Images and Fears

Oh dear...you cannot just leave like that. What happened to Elladan? what's Elrond talking about his worst nightmare? Please update soon.

Author's reply

Elrond´s worst nightmare? In losing one of his sons he must fear to lose both. Hope to see you at chapter two and there you will glimpse a bit of what happened to Elladan. The next chapter is on the way. Thank you so much for the review. Lai

Jay of Lasgalen · 22 November 2009 · Chapter 1: Images and Fears

This is intriguing! Whatever's happened to Elladan? And what was he doing off on his own in the first place? I love anything to do with the sons of Elrond, and I'm looking forward to an update. I think there will be plenty of angst ahead for Elrohir and Elladan :)

Author's reply

I´m glad you like the start of my new story. I assume that Elladan and Elrohir are not always sticking together. It should be a simple errand for Elladan, nothing he could not do on his own. As you know by now, I too like anything concerning the twins and there w i l l be plenty of angst ahead. Thank you so much for the review. I promise to update soon. Lai

Aiwen · 21 November 2009 · Chapter 1: Images and Fears

A good beginning, with a cliff-hanger chapter ending. Nicely done.

Author's reply

thank you for the praise and the much appreciated review. Hope you enjoy the following chapters also and to see you there. Lai
