Wow! This was thrilling!
I think you've captured the tragedy of Miriel perfectly in this short story: her happier past when she was young, and then her marriage and the downfall of her homeland, the shards of her pride turning into shame, and her contempt for the one who caused the disaster.
Powerfully done and heart-breaking. Brilliant response to the challenge. Thank you  |

Oh, Ania, you've got a very poignant and beautifully written story here. I adore your portrayal of Gilraen, a strong woman who will never forget her husband and the love they shared, but who can also move on in her life and accept what is to come. She must think about her son, and still everything around her will always remind her of Arathorn. I like the imagery, the symbolism, and the elegant language of this piece -- especially the lingering notion of the music of the Valar in the sounds of nature. Wonderfully done! Brava! |

They won't give up, will they? They won't think "sometimes there's nothing we can do?", each of them seeks a solution in their own fashion. And I'm going to patiently wait to see what will happen next and what Elladan and Elrohir will come up with.
Beautiful, detailed descriptive parts, the style of story-telling that I've always admired and loved since the very first story by you I read. Thanks for the update, and keep posting  |
