Oh goodie!!! A new story. I love the way you've written the first chapter, very detailed. I really like the humour you've injected into the piece.

Please update soon, I would love to read on and find out where this story leads.Smile smiley face

I am happy you like this story - it's taken me a while to shape it like I would wish. =)

Sadly it is not to be, and although I feel sad for Celebrimor, he had chosen his own path. I did add a little twist with the string of hair though!

Thanks, I'm doing the best I can with real life being a burden usually! I am glad you're enjoying the story so far though. Hold on, we've got a lot more ground to cover!

You weave a wonderful tale. I love your portray of Galadriel & Celeborn's relationship as well as that of their family. .....And then you go and weave in the others - Elrond, Erestor, Gil-galad etc with equal skill. Great chapter! I look forward to more.

There's an awful lot of Elves mentioned isn't it? I try to do them all justice and I'm happy that I managed to achieve a small part of that. So long as it's readable and logical, I'm safe =)

I really enjoy this fic so far! Smile smiley face I love how you tie so much history of the S.A into it. When are you going to update?!?
Blossom.

Well, this story is essentially set in the S.A. so I have to know the history of it. Took quite a bit of research and, like I said, the part with Amroth is entirely my own (him being Galadriel's son). I do try to tie everything together somehow though. I'm happy that you like my story, and I've updated now =)

What a pleasant surprise to see another chapter from you! I enjoyed the gentle build up of the relationship between Elrond and Celebrian as well as the growing friendship between Elrond and Rímallen. We seem to be careening towards a meeting with Prince Thranduil - when the unmasking of Rímallen's impersonation of her sister is sure to provide some fireworks. I wonder if it will take place in Imladris? Surely, the famed Galadriel suspects if not outright knows of her daughter's games?.....Keep up the good work.
 
Author's replied on Sun Jun 28, 2009 2:18 am
Yes, it has been building up has it? I'm glad you enjoy my portrayal of the characters. And you're very right, we're very close to the very tip of the story, but not quite there yet! There are a few other things that must happen first. As for Galadriel, of course she knows and sees much, but she will not say a thing - and since this is a story from Rímallen's perspective (more or less), we won't know Galadriel's thoughts on the matter for a while. Thanks a lot for reviewing!

Oh, my - thanks to a terrified steed and Gildor's wandering bands' timely arrival, Rímallen is safe. How scary to encounter the nine by herself! Although outside of cannon, it is not a stretch to think the nine would be trying to locate Imladris. War is brewing as always. Thanks for delivering the chapter so quickly. It did not disappoint. Rímallen's spirit is sure wild and free, surely her parents recognize this. I don't think she would be safe anywhere? Will we hear about how this event effects her?
 
Author's replied on Mon Jun 29, 2009 11:48 pm
I was really worried about adding the Nine into the mix, but in the end, I couldn't help it. Like you said, they would have tried to locate Imladris for Sauron. We will also be hearing from Gildor again quite soon I imagine. This will definitely have an effect on our Princess; as for her parents, I think they understand mostly, but not quite. Galadriel has outgrown her own 'wild youth' stage and it's been so long ago! I'll try and get chapter nineteen up before I go to France for a week. Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, quite the monumental chapter. I like how you do not simplify things or make Oropher out to be brainless. - Simply all of them were pushed to their limits on the edges of the volcano - and in the seemingly endless battle Oropher's uncoordinated attack releases all hell. You weave the many players in amazingly well. I especially like that Galadriel aids them from afar. Can't wait for more!

I'm glad you liked the battle sequence, I'm insanely proud of it. *sheepish grin* And yes, everyone went a bit mad in Mordor then, I think that's logical, they had been fighting Sauron for over a decade, they wanted to go home. And home they will go in the next chapter, but if you think all hell broke loose on the slopes of Mount Doom, wait until you see what happens in Mirkwood!

Oh, Rímallen! How could you not have found the courage to write him the truth in a letter? You had so many years! One would have thought that the deception would have made you feel ill. Now the confrontation has come. Awesome! Can't wait for the next chapter.

And forth has sprung all the spawn Hell could break loose. *g* Our princess had a lot of time to tell Thranduil, she just couldn't make herself do it sadly. Here is the result. But the Valar are always watching. Thanks so much for reviewing! Smile smiley face
