| Awesome beginning to another installment! There are so many people touched by the loss of Amoneth and Aradunnon. Will Dieneryn sail? She has lost so much and only one son remains. Interesting that Legolas seems to know instinctively that she is fading. It seems that we have lost some conversation between Thranduil and Legolas. Will we hear them talk sometime? Obviously, their little talk after Galithil's apology did not reveal everything. Surely, Legolas can't be thinking of breaking the rules and learning to use a sword yet? I can't wait for more of your fabulous story. |

Glad you like it so far! That there are so many people affected is exactly what I was trying to show. Legolas and his father have a lot to resolve yet, very true. As for your other questions, you will have to wait and see.  Thanks so much for the review! I really appreciate them! |

| Poor everyone in this part of the story! Poor Thranduil and Galithil and Dolgailon trying to deal with the death of Aradunnon. Poor Lindomiel dealing with the loss of her friend. But also poor Legolas. He really wants to do the right thing too. I especially felt for him in this chapter when they are talking about inheriting positions and Legolas thinks about what it would be like if Thranduil had died instead of his brother. That had to be a tough realization. But he is headed for so much trouble! Great to see you posting again. |

| Yes, this part of the story is full of a great deal of grief, that is certain. But you are right. As you can see in this chapter, Legolas is beginning to dig a really deep hole. Thanks so much for the review! |

| The conversation over heard as Legolas wound to the trees leads to some angst. We know Tulus true side by his former actions to protect Legolas with his life, but his son? Their confrontation with Legolas/Anastor and Noruil was interesting as well, I'm not sure why Legolas feels so guilty, he didn't lie, that was Anastor and Noruil - and they have done so on many occasions. He could have called the two on their lie, but of course it was in front of his new body guard. We shall see how that will work out. I'm glad they did go ahead and inform Dolgailon. Nice chapter! Legolas' self-consciousness and embarassment about his artwork was an aspect of his personality that surprised me. |

| That conversation Legolas heard will have big significance later, you are right. Anastor told the lie, but Legolas going to be the one to pay for it, of course! As you'll see. At least at first he'll pay for it. Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them! |

| Wow, your dialogue is really thought provoking and very well done. Any reasonable parent might have done similarly when confronted with just the cousin's injury and Glílavan's words.... and yet, that has not been how Thranduil has tried to conduct himself as either King or Father. I like how his wife and Mother confront him on this - and on the fact of how grief (not to speak of stress) can change one's normal reactions. Legolas' thoughts, spewed out in anger were so deep, believable and well thought out - it left me speechless! Thranduil was speechless as well as he tried to get his mind around how fear and grief influenced the thoughts and actions of his son and nephew. Amazing chapter! |

| I am so glad the arguments Legolas and Thranduil make here come across well for you. And Thranduil not being his best given the circumstances. It is difficult for me when writing characters out-of-character, but for (hopefully) good reasons. You are never sure you pulled it off. So, I'm very pleased to see it worked for you! This review made my day! Thanks so much! |

| I have so enjoyed this journey, having only come to them lately. I love the image of the sunrise over the forest, what a beautiful place to finish this episode. Although I fear trouble brewing in the shape of Moralfien and her male relative... |
