Woooooooooooo! A new Return!verse story  And what a beginning, too. I'm already looking forward to reading what Tindome might be doing while Rumil and Orophin were away from home. I suspect a lot of fun and a very entertaining read  Thanks a lot! |

| I'm so glad that you liked it! I plan to follow both Tindómë and Rumil during the story - doing very different things in different places... |

Well, people -- immortal or not -- sometimes are mean and like to stir things up when they should settle. No wonder that woman got on Tindome's nerves, but I'm glad to see that the "little warrior" is able to defend herself. Even more glad to see her earn a higher rank in the society Well done, Tindome!
Good stuff! Looking forward to more. Thanks! |

| Thank you Binka. I am so glad that you also think this might be a major step in growing up; being declared an adult or having sex are both big steps - but coping in this, very alien, society without her 'protectors' is also a biggy. Being accepted as a warrior without it being a term of endearment is a real achievement for her. |

| Thanks for another wonderful chapter! I especially enjoyed the telling off that Tindome gave. She completely took on the Galadriel role. Yeah!! Can't wait for another chapter. Thanks! |

I could just see her using Galadriel as a role model - I am really glad that it worked for you, too.
As for looking forward to the next chapter - thank you - and I'm aiming on about a chapter a week... |

The alternating of the PoVs works really well -- it's great to see things as Rumil saw them out there in the South as he prepared to battle, and what Tindome was doing at that time. And she seemed to have her hands full.
Well done! Thanks. |

| Thank you. I started only thinking of her - but then I knew I wanted to also know what Rumil was doing - so I'm glad that it works for you this way. |

That was a trial for Tindome, I think. She had to test her skills (and wooo hooo! to praise her teachers, the Els and Mr. Slayer of a Balrog ) and she saved her former adversary's life in a most impressive way. You've done a great job of conveying the dynamics of the battles in this chapter. And what a sad ending 
Well done! |

Thank you Binka. I think this was as much a rite of passage for Tindómë as was the fight on the borders of Fangorn, or her (two!) official braiding ceremonies - it will make her a part of this community as much, or more, than fighting with the warriors will for Rumil and Orophin.
I actually found it very interesting to write the battle from such a tight point of view - and it is so much a Rumil way of looking at things; he finds the world outside him and his close circle interesting... but not very, apart from how it affects him and his, and how it looks! |

Thank you, again, for your review - I really appreciate them.
I'm glad the end of the chapter worked - it was meant to be something of a shock.
The next chapter will be posted before the weekend, I promise. |

Oh, oh, and the plot thickens! I like the ideas you've incorporated in your story. However I can't help shaking my head at the stupidity of the men who expected to get immortal in such a hideous way. The elves will be livid when they arrive home.
Very well done! Thank you |

| Yes - I think, when they find out, livid will sum it up pretty well... |
