Your style is so elegant and lyrical I read this piece twice. Then went back and read it again. The images were so clear, I almost missed the metaphors (what?! metaphors in fic?? did hell freeze over??). Scrumptious writing.

Thanks so very much for your feedback. Yes, I will plead guilty to the occasional metaphor... and (hangs head guiltily) ...mythology. (extends wrist for ruler)

It was nice writing from the viewpoint of a character who left me so much room to speculate! And kudos to Nancy Brooke for thinking of the letters challenge.

Epistolary! Letters give so much room for conjecture, private thought and self-indulgence. And it gave me a great opportunity to write as a wedding remembrance for Starlight, (small, dark and beautiful) who was on that very day leaving her home in Venezuela and her family and her language behind to move to the USA and marry her big blond fiance. I always see them in Eomer and Lotheriel - and consequently her love has also let me see what it takes to make that kind of decision.
