| Good chapter! I'm liking young Imrahil more and more. He's a good man with a conscience and values even on a raid. "If he started murdering children he would be like their enemies." Poor Jibran, if the story about his mother being a prisoner of war and from Belfast. Glad that Imrahil plans to take him home. Next chapter, please! |

Well Imrahil came across as a good man in the books, so that is how I always see him.
Next chapter soon. Thanks for reviewing. LBJ |

| What a touching, emotional chapter. I love the idea of gwaedh-gwend - a special friendship for this woman and ellon who have lost so much. It seems that creating a family for Estel also created a special 'family' for many others. It is nice to think that Glorfindel and Gilrean can draw some comfort from each other in a way that is alright in their society. I like your comparisons and gentle/at times embarrassed probing of the differences between elves and men. Thanks for the chapter! |

| The conversation over heard as Legolas wound to the trees leads to some angst. We know Tulus true side by his former actions to protect Legolas with his life, but his son? Their confrontation with Legolas/Anastor and Noruil was interesting as well, I'm not sure why Legolas feels so guilty, he didn't lie, that was Anastor and Noruil - and they have done so on many occasions. He could have called the two on their lie, but of course it was in front of his new body guard. We shall see how that will work out. I'm glad they did go ahead and inform Dolgailon. Nice chapter! Legolas' self-consciousness and embarassment about his artwork was an aspect of his personality that surprised me. |

That conversation Legolas heard will have big significance later, you are right. Anastor told the lie, but Legolas going to be the one to pay for it, of course!  As you'll see. At least at first he'll pay for it. Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them! |

| Awesome beginning to another installment! There are so many people touched by the loss of Amoneth and Aradunnon. Will Dieneryn sail? She has lost so much and only one son remains. Interesting that Legolas seems to know instinctively that she is fading. It seems that we have lost some conversation between Thranduil and Legolas. Will we hear them talk sometime? Obviously, their little talk after Galithil's apology did not reveal everything. Surely, Legolas can't be thinking of breaking the rules and learning to use a sword yet? I can't wait for more of your fabulous story. |

| Glad you like it so far! That there are so many people affected is exactly what I was trying to show. Legolas and his father have a lot to resolve yet, very true. As for your other questions, you will have to wait and see. Thanks so much for the review! I really appreciate them! |

| Oh this was a magnificent chapter! I loved that Gilraen recognized Elrond's vulnerability as the twins rode away. The table conversation and the trip to the spring were equally good. But the best was your subtle handling of the cultural mishaps. To think that Elves can bath stark naked then find a slip of ankle or calf arousing! I can well imagine that Gilraen had to hold back hysterical laughter. Super that Glorfindel was the one to try to delicately explain it to her! |

| Actually, there are some modern human cultures where seeing nudity during bathing is commonplace, but the allure of the barely revealed is considered arousing. But it transplanted well into Elven culture, didn't it? I'm glad you enjoyed this. |

What a place to leave off! They are destined for each other and are finally beginning to recognize it. Then to through in a goblin attack the day after Yule. (A smart time, if the goblins really planned it.).
I loved your story about Thranduil's grandparents. Though, I do quite wonder who they were, as Oropher was from Doriath. I thought he was the first King of Greenwood. No matter, the story is so romantic - seems that Thranduil holds many surprises if he actually though about and ordered Galion to pull out the white dress. Loved the part of Rimallen helping Thranduil with his armor and their parting. But now Rimallen will need to make use of the Queen's armor! Will Thranduil return in time? Can't wait for more! |

Goblins can be quite smart, pesky little creatures can't they? They can be so annoying, and right now we have a whole bunch of them heading for the palace! But don't worry, I'm working on chapter twenty-six fast so hopefully it'll be up soon. As for Thranduil's grandparents, I left all the options open because I never really say anything too defining. Thanks for reading!  |

| Wow, after traveling for awhile - I returned to a treat of two chapters. What a breathtaking tale you have spun. I loved the banter between Thranduil and Rimallen - and the anticipation that they would dance. But the nedrilach, a love dance shared by soul mates, that was so unexpected and creative. What a wonderfully romantic twist. - And yet he did not kiss her yet, recognizing the innocence in her gaze, though their fea already sung out to each other! A fine culmination! |

I'm glad you like the story so far! The nedrilach scene was actually the first piece I wrote for this story, back in 2007, even if it has been heavily edited and revised now. And well, I think it's safe to say Thranduil does know how to be romantic! He isn't a complete brute after all.
Thanks for reviewing. |

| Oh I so enjoyed the wedding preparations and the wedding from Rimallen's perspective. You wove a wonderful chapter and ended on a bittersweet note - Rimallen recognizing that she has found her heart's mate in Thranduil but now despairing that they will ever come together. Thanks for the chapter! |
