| Wow - love how you highlight their 'otherness' as elves by their dancing to the forest's heartbeat and the chorus of songs. Lord Oromë's arrival was excellent - the sounding of the horns followed by being overwhelmed by the hunters. The mind-to-mind conversation between Tulkas and Tindóme was very enlightening and amusing - especially Tindóme projects or equates Tulkas' comments with elves she knows. Nessa understands Tindome well too, it seems. Great chapter! |

| I'm really pleased that you liked the 'otherness' of them dancing to the forest's heartbeat and the chorus of songs, and the arrival of the Hunt. That scene with Tulkas has been written in one of my notebooks waiting for me to get to the right place for quite a while - but the scene with Nessa just came to me as I wrote, and more or less wrote itself! |

| Wow, this is quite an intriguing tale you have woven. I really like you development of Anárië and how she interacts with everyone - from Ereinion and Elrond through the OCs. So, now we come to Celembrior and the rings of power. It seems the next chapters are going to be intense. Thanks for the story! |

You've interjected a bit of mystery in this chapter. Why the earthquake? How come there is no big game in the forest? Surely, it can't be where Lord Orome hunts? Why so many dead ends? For some reason the idea 'flipping a coin' to make a decision being of of true Galadhrim fashion struck me as funny. What struck Tindome at the end, I wonder?
I look forward to more! |

| Eventually things will start to come together - honestly. My Galadhrim are known to wager on all sorts - so flipping a coin seemed quite in keeping, I thought! What struck her in the end was really a big chunk of stone - but what the effect if it is will only be clear in the next chapter |

| You set a nice pace for the development of a friendship between Haldir and Tindómë. I think it is helpful for both of them and definitely gives Haldir a new perspective. I wonder if the earthquake marks their passing to earth? Guess I'll have to wait and see in the next chapter! |

| Thank you - yes this journey is helping both learn more of the other. Hopefully the reason for the earthquake will become clear in another chapter or two! |

| I like how you are slowly developing their relationship. Haldir is only just realizing that Tindómë likes to ask questions? Wow, Tindómë and Haldor meet reborn residemts of Doriath! I wonder if others know that so many from Doriath have been reborn and are living quietly among the trees. I think this journey is important for Haldir in many ways as he comes to terms with who he is and will be in these new lands. There encounters with the different villages and towns does make this feel like a journey. I look forward to the next chapter. |

Haldir's original reaction to Tindómë was very much 'if it wasn't for her things would not have hanged so much' so he really hasn't taken much notice of her 'bright enquiring mind' - until now!
Doubtless King Olwë knows his brother and sister-in-law have a city down the coast where they live quietly - and this Sindar settlement will not be unknown to everyone - but not seen as important enough to mention, to most people.
I' so glad you are really getting the feeling that this is a journey - the journey is as much the story as what happened before they set off, or what happens when they get there. |

| Oh, you made my day with a new chapter! This one brings a new understanding between Haldir and Tindómë. I was waiting for this to come to a verbal confrontation. “Get off the horse!” Tindómë handles it very well with the right mix of strength and compassion - as she relays how Rumil and Orophin mourned and dealt with Haldir's death. How long will they be searching, I wonder? |

Thank you - I'm really glad that you think there is the right mix of strength and compassion in their encounter.
But they might be wandering for a while yet... |

| Oh this looks to be another of your terrific stories. I love how you portray and develop a strong and confident Lothiriel and how you show cultural differences. Of course, Eomer must be used to strong women, given who his sister is. I am looking forward to the next chapter! |

| I always thought Eomer to be strong and proud, so I think Lothy needs to be able to match him. Thanks a lot for the review. |

| Rumil employs nice methods for distraction. Can't imagine what it would be like to step in front of the Valar. The idea that one is so powerful that they could sift through another's thought is quite disconcerting. Still there is no answer yet - and Haldir must agree to accompany her. Look forward to more. |

The very nicest sort of distractions... And now it all rests on Haldir...
Thank you so much for letting me know that you are reading here, I much appreciate it. |

| Of course Galdalf would be there to offer a suggestion - though in riddle form. You strike admirably well rounded characters even in such a short tale. Thanks! |
