| Hi Xenarwen, and thanks for your comments - they're very encouraging and helpful! I write for Arinya, and I wanted to portray that terrible feeling when, out of the blue, you hear accusations that involve you in some way and that you know are wrong, and then watch other people pull away from you because they believe those accusations. And then how wonderful it is when someone stands up for you. Yes, Gimilbeth is leaving, and that will start some events both with her and with those left in Cameth Brin ... hope you enjoy them! -- Rian |

Thank you for your kind review, Xenarwen! We appreciate it very much.-Northern Kingdom Writers
Here is the reply from one of the authors of the fic:
Hi Xenarwen! My name is Rian, and I write for Callon and Caelen - or the CCs, as we call them. I'm not sure how Caelen will do without her brother - as our favorite writer, JRR Tolkien said, sometimes the story just seems to write itself! It's already surprised me with a few of the turns it's taken, and I can't see her long-term future yet. As for the short-term, there's definitely some adventures ahead of her! Hopefully, she won't have to meet Agannalo, though - he creeps me out, too! |

For a grim tragedy, this story is having quite a few hilarious madcap scenes! I'm enjoying this! But I'm also feeling the dreadful anticipation for when things really get bad. Malaneth isn't REALLY starting to like that animal, is she?
Orist, thank you for your comments on the Northern Kingdom stories. I don't know if the relationship between Broggha and Malaneth is a case of love on her part. More likely her sense of self-preservation is at work here. Sometimes a victim's brain will attempt to preserve their body from further abuse by generating feelings of affection towards an abuser. It is the victim's subconscious hope that their abuser will treat them more kindly if they bend to the abuser's will. This phenomenon is called Stockholm Syndrome. This, of course, is an unhealthy relationship, but it is one forged out of great emotional strain and the threat of physical danger.
Although many people use the allegory of a drug addict to describe Frodo's attraction to the One Ring, Tolkien himself described it as a form of Stockholm Syndrome. (He did not use this term, however, for it was not in use until after his death.) He compared Frodo to a soldier who had been captured by his enemies and broke under the torture which he had received at their hands. Broken physically and emotionally, he ended up loving and praising his captor (the Ring).
Perhaps this describes the relationship between Malaneth and Broggha.
