Hi. Beautiful description of the hill and of the fortress. And I love Silme's chamber (I wish I would have lived there). I think Maitimo is too harsh on himself, he really doesn't need a constant reminder of Angband on the horizon (you meant Angband, right? Utumno was destroyed by the Valar a long time ago). I also love Maitimo's determination in learning how to fight with his left hand (we know what a great warrior he will become later). And I'm sorry that they showed such restraint, maybe the years will change their minds "g". Wonderful writing as always. Looking forward to the new chapters (hopefully after a short wait "g"Wink smiley face. Safe journey to your destination.

Hi. Welcome back. Again a beautiful written chapter. I must say that I am a little dissapointed with the promise not to wed until happier times will come. Since we all know what Maitimo's life is going to be like, it means that they will never marry and I think it's a pity and he deserved a lot better than he got. Other than that, great chapter.

Hi! Thanks for the welcome back, and I am very glad you liked the chapter. Very Happy smiley face As for the marriage, let us not put limits to providence: as Lacuna Coil would put it, 'vows are spoken/ to be broken'...Wink smiley face I'll update asap!

Beautiful chapter. I liked very much your description of the aftermath of the rescue, the beginning of healing. And I like the fact that you do not insist on the relinquish of the kingship to Nolofinwe. I'm still not sure if I guessed right the reason behind Findekano's pain, but I supposed it will become clearer as the story develops. Looking forward to the next chapters (and the wedding "g"Wink smiley face. Thank you.

Thank you! I am very glad you're liking it so much. I'm not saying anything about the wedding - just that things, around these two, are never very easy. Razz smiley face

Great chapter. I liked how Findekano convinced Silme to stay back and how, apparently, has accepted her presence in Maitimo's life. And I loved the arrival of the eagle. Looking forward to the new chapters. Thank you.

Thank you! When I talked about this chapter to my beta, for a moment she feared Silme was going to steal the rescue scene...no chance of that. Poor Fino! That's 'his' spotlight. Hope you keep enjoying! Smile smiley face

Such a sad chapter, wonderful written but very sad. I'm looking forward now to read about the rescue, of some joy in Silme and Findekano's life. Thank you.

Hi. I love the way you change the story told in the Silm. I'm very curious and eagerly awaiting the new chapters to see how your story will unfold. It's beautiful and heartbreaking, love it. And I'm still waiting for Findekano's reasons in his hate toward Silme "grin". Wonderful description of the crossing. Thank you.

Thanks to you! Another couple of chapters and Fino's behaviour should be pretty clear, worry not. Wink smiley face Glad you enjoyed the crossing! It was tough to write. Sad smiley face

Hi. Surprising move on Silme's part, at least for me. You change a little what it is written in the Silmarillion regarding Feanaro's words to Maitimo and the burning of the ships but I liked it, it makes for an interesting turn of events. Now I am begining to wonder if you will ever have Maitimo and Silme wed. Splendid writing as always.

Thank you! Very glad you're liking it. I am trying not to copy and paste Tolkien's words too often...very glad you liked the variation. Smile smiley face I'll update asap.

Amazing writing. I'm glad that you didn't insist on the kinslaying too much, it's always hard for me to read about it, but what you wrote is very sad and heartbreaking. I am curious now to see how Silme will cross the sea, with Maitimo or with Artanis and her family. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you.
 
Author's replied on Thu Jul 08, 2010 6:59 am
Thanks to you! Yes, I didn't like staying on the Slaying that much myself. Angst's all right...don't like the gore too much though. Wink smiley face Hope next chapter won't disappoint you! I'll update asap.

Hi. Powerful chapter. I think you show very well Feanor's power, that power that made his sons swore that terrible oath and most of the Noldor follow him. Also, I like very much the description of the aftermath of the Darkening, the grief and numbness of the people. Beautiful writing. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you.

Thank you! I am very glad you like it, it was very intense. I am hitching to write what comes next, events are on the fast track now...so I'll update soon. Hopefully. Wink smiley face

Hi. You did it again "g". Keep it up with updating so soon.
Dark chapter but so will be the next ones (unfortunately). I liked very much the way you describe the atac on Formenos and what came afterwards. A little nitpick (I hope you don't mind) : in Quenya Feanaro named Melkor Moringotto, later, in Sindarin became Morgoth. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Beautiful writing. Looking forward to the next chapters. Thank you.

Hi there! Glad you liked it, it was pretty charged to write. I'll do my best to update soon. .Smile smiley face I don't mind the nitpick at all. Very Happy smiley face I knew some Quenya was bound to escape me...Razz smiley face Well, Moringotto does not sound nowhere as harsh as Morgoth...so I suppose we'll just pretend we're all right with the Sindarin form. 0Smile smiley face Wink smiley face Hope next updates don't disappoint you!
