An excellent beginning to a very difficult time in one families' life. That Celebrian even survived such an attack speaks of her own strength. I like the allusions to others who have held her heart over so many thousands of years. Of course one would recall the good memories to try to ward off the horrible ones. You paint an amazing picture where she so obviously loves Elrohir, but there are so many other factors. 'look forward to more.

I really love your writing style - makes me fall into the story effortlessly. The 'Semper Fi' addition was a nice touch, it speaks for itself. Everyone in this story seems to carry one wound or another, but I think the essence is in the leaf medallion - very good. Looking forward to more ^^

Lovely mix of description and action. I must admit all the way through I was thinking -where is Aragorn? LBJ
