I want to hug both Inzílani and Borongil for their efforts to each do the best for the other that they can,or know how. Intelligent girl to begin to learn the language. Perhaps in time, if she finally learns enough Sindarin, she can explain why the other former captives don't approve of her!

I want to hug Aerwen too - for such a good chapter to such a fascinating tale.

Thanks! How did you know I like hugs? Very Happy smiley face Inzilanî is a very strong person to have survived this long, and intelligent as well. I'm glad you like her as much as I do.

I'm enjoying the last chapters, I enjoy reading about Inzilani's healing journey. I love how you write the elves.

I'm glad you're enjoying this. Inzilanî has a long way to go to find healing yet. So hang on, the bumpy ride is just getting started.

Poor Inzilanî with her nightmares - and Borongil singing her feet down kinder dream paths is just how I imagine it to be.

I can imagine the shock of waking beside what looks like a very elegant corpse, too.
Revenge on the Uruk might help her - I hope it does.

Thanks for writing. Yes, waking up next to what looks like a dead man must be shocking. And as for the uruk, well... Disturbing verbal imagery ahead.

Poor child, poor, poor child. And yet this is exactly right - it is what they would have done, and what she would have felt afterwards.

Incredibly strongly written chapter - it must have been quite gut-wrenching to write, well done.

No, it wasn't the easiest chapter to write. That kind of rage, when it explodes, gets very ugly - and does ugly things to the ones who've been holding it in all that time. Thanks for the review.

Inzilani deserves some TLC. Even though it is confusing now, hopefully it gets easier for her. Thanks for wonderful update...

Thanks, Daniel. While life isn't quite finished dealing her shocks yet, I agree she deserves some TLC. Whether she appreciates it as such is yet to be seen, however. Glad you're enjoying this.

Well done you for giving him a wife. Are they now in the stronghold of King Thranduil in Mirkwood?
 
Author's replied on Mon Mar 29, 2010 1:34 pm
Well, considering that he's thousands of years older than she is, it stands to reason that he might have found a mate already. She's in for a few more shocks yet too. And yes, they're at Thranduil's halls now. Thanks for writing, and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

I think after Inzilani starts to recover from her horrors of being a slave to Orcs, she is going to discover what being loved, just for being her, is like. Thanks for the great chapter....Daniel

Hi Daniel! Inzilanî has a few more bumps in the road to get past to begin understanding what it means to be living with the Elves. Hang in there. Thanks for writing!

Sounds like trouble is brewing in Inzilani's mind. Now is the time you would hope an interpreter would show up. Not knowing the customs or what happened to the others, her fear, for her, is real.. Great chapter.....Daniel

Thanks, Daniel. Although the language barrier is going to start dropping, her misunderstandings will take time to come out and be dealt with. Glad you're enjoying this.

What a heartbreaking chapter. Hopefully, Inzilani can now start to get the help she needs. Is it just me or does it sound like she is in Lothlorien now? Thanks for the great chapter...Daniel

Hi Daniel! No, she's not in Lothlórien now - remember the faces looking down at her and Borongil when she first arrived? She's in one of those telain. Thanks for writing!

Woops! Sorry about that. Sometimes my fingers type before my mind kicks in. I remember the talans now. So Sorry...

Not a problem. Mirkwood isn't exactly known for its telain, so it was an understandable mistake.
