What a lovely, thoughtful piece Smile smiley face

Just as today the news rarely report anything but disaster and disarray, so do the history books count the years by wars and dark deeds.
I really enjoyed reading this; thanks for sharing it!

I really love that you found the irony in this character's undocumented life: that that which we value most (peace) is not as noteworthy as that which we fear (death), and that good deeds often go unrewarded. I thought the fic lost focus a bit though at the end, with his meditations on Elvenkind. It was charming, but less compelling.

Yes, he is right when he thinks that one's peaceful existence seems less worthy a mention in the chronicles. Isn't it ironic?

Insightful, thought-provoking, well done. Smile smiley face

I love this line: "I live a dull existence perhaps, but it gives me time to dream about the stars." Sometimes it's easier to bemoan what we lack than to be appreciative of what we have. And his notion that being a peaceful king might make him more likely to see elves in the future seems to be very well-founded. Good job writing a difficult character!

Not only did you shed some light on the life of a largely ignored character; you actually made me want to find out more about him. You also did a very nice job of addressing some large themes in a short work. Well done!

War is definitely more newsworthy. Great glimpse of a time-frame largely ignored.
