Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed about a chapter of EA4 being up. Now it would have been only natural my thoughts going out to Fiondil these days, but even this fall when I re-read EA1 up to EA3, I can't remember having any dreams about it. Seeing the new chapter notification today almost makes it surreal.
And I was having a terrible monday and this made me realize very much how Fiondil's stories always made mondays better days for me...
When ever thinking of EA4, I never images there being a 3 years gap between EA3 and EA4 . Now could I ever expected Edhellond getting blown up and the Elves having to leave everything they build up in the last 4 stories behind.
And what does this mean for their plans for the Dagor Dagorath the Valor have been working on for centuries? And what part do the brothers play in this. They clearly know more than they let on, keeping the first part of the prologue in mind too.
I wonder if there's anyone else who has actually been crazy enough to look up those coordinates? Evilly enough, you won't get much wiser if you do so. At least, I didn't...
Furthermore, my gratitude to everyone who made this possible.

I think Fiondil would be touched that his chapters will make your Mondays better for a while. That is cool that you dreamed about EA4 being up and woke to find it so.
There is much in this early part of the story which will be made clear in time. Lots of folks have looked up the coordinates, as Fiondil knew they would.
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Please give my heartfelt thanks to Fiondil's family for allowing the rest of his story to be posted and thank you so much for doing so. I miss him very much as I am sure everyone does. I will continue posting comments when I have any to make.

I intend to contact Fiondil's family with expressions of gratitude when I can. My internet is wonky and unreliable right now. Thanks!

Thank you to Fiondil's family for giving permission so that this story can be told. Also, thank you to Fiondel's betas for taking on the task of getting this posted. But mostly, thank you, Fiondil, for this continuation of Elf Academy, cliffhangers and all.

Your gratitude is most appreciated all around :-)
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Well, well, Atya, your thick plottens. Or the plot thickens. *lopsided grin, though I'm still crying*
I don't know if the Beta Amigos shall be answering these reviews for you or not, but I am glad at least that they're posting the chapters. *hopes they can feel these internet hugs of deepest gratitude*
So Edhellond finally was exploded after all this time. Three years on...I do wonder what on Arda is going on. Well, the Dagor Dagorath, it would seem, but...oh, just when things get interesting, they leave us hanging with your famous cliffhangers.
Speaking of which...*settles in at the Cliff House with the rest, and sets out refreshments for the wave of Fiondil's People who shall no doubt be arriving* If we're going to survive the Dagor Dagorath, Atto, we'll need our strength. Hostess has some pretty good treats...*fills basket with Cupcakes, DingDongs, HoHos and more* Then there's the Freckled Lemonade Cake I had from Red Robin...*places strawberry lemonade cake out* and speaking of Red Robin, burgers of all kinds made to order...:)

We the betas read each and every review that is posted. We are doing what we can to finally start answering them individually as it seems that the blanket response Shemyaza left for the first bit posted was missed by many.
Much has happened, but hang in there as things will be explained soon enough in the story.
We have hired an all elvish wait staff to man (or would that be elf?) the Cliff House and see to your every comfort while you gather to read, discuss, and wait for new chapters.
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Oh, Atto...it's Gwyn and Gareth. I hoped we would finally learn their story in full, and it seems to be most interesting so far. Knights Templar - I seem to remember this part of their life being mentioned in passing, though not fully explored. I'm so glad you decided to enlighten us, though I grieve that you were taken from us before you could share it yourself.
Thank you, Ellie, Mari, Shemyaza, for bringing us Atto Fiondil's final tale. I am eager to see how it all will unfold. May Eru bless you all for sharing this with us.

You are most welcome, and thank you!
I know Fiondil wanted to share it all personally. I am glad though that he managed to write what he did. I am sure he is checking reviews from heaven :-)
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

No gentle introduction for us this time, I see. Much love and respect to those of you who worked to bring this to light. Hold on to your hats, everyone. I have a feeling this is going to be quite the emotional roller coaster (for so many reasons). Thinking of you all!

Indeed, there is nothing gentle about this intro as you have surmised.
Your gratitude is much appreciated :-)
