Ooh I liked this! You worded it so I can almost see the ghost elves passing through. And the idea of the land remembering is really unique to write this angle for a story. Really well done!

Wow! I love this. You're very talented. Beyond great story line. Tolkien, to say the least.

I loved this story at the Other Place. And it is great to see it here. A truly fantastic ghost story. Laughing smiley face

Magic. I could hear the narrator speaking aloud and the description gave me head pictures. And it made me want to cry for the loss of the Elves in this time...A gem!

This is just gorgeous writing. Your point-of-view character has a voice that's so smooth, so evocative, I just fell right into the rhythm. He's a storyteller through and through. And since you created him, I guess that makes you goddess of storytellers.

Lovely POV piece - absolutely delicate crafting... made me see that field and feel the wind in my face.
Beautiful piece of work.

Couldn't possible top the praise already given. Hauntingly beautiful, well crafted, I felt like I had strayed into the dream!

Wish I could add something new. This was wonderful. It speaks of the loss of a major part of the land. Just beautiful. Thank you, so much, for sharing. I am truly thankful this was featured today.

That which is seen and that which is understood are often, even now, very different things. I love the feeling of reality of this story; it is genuine. I could almost see a modern farmer somewhere in rural Europe with his pint and his Wellies at the pub of an evening, or standing leaned on his spade telling us this in the confidence shared between those who know the land and understand that we are not all there is to the world. Just glorious.
