| The chapter started out with a poignant example of what they have suffered thus far. I think Anárië's care for Lachuí was portrayed well. Yet as soon as Glorfindel came to tell Lachuí the King wanted to see him, I knew what was coming. Then Ereinion released her from his service! One can only imagine what Elrond, Isildur and Cirdan must have suffered seeing their dear ones taken from them. I am not sure sometimes, what to think of Isildur, but his father just perished on those slopes too. A dramatic and intense chapter! |

| It was hit-and-miss for me since I originally wrote Lachuí into a causalty of this war ... but then editing it I realized I can't kill him off, so it was a compromise. They've all been here for a while and everyone is emotionally spent, so the ending was welcome, but their losses are massive. And as for Isildur, my goal was reached then, since I wanted my readers to not know what to think about him. Thank you for reading so far! |

| The thread throughout the chapter was how totally drained and empty Anárië was after the war. I'm sure she is not the only one. That thread was already in the last chapters, but the death of Ereinion just threw everything over the top for her. "He saw me for who I was, and ordered Lachuí to train me. If not for him, I would be nobody." How important is that for Glorfindel to understand! I think he does now and together they will recover from this with time. Great chapter! |

| Yes, they're all exhausted after the Last Alliance. Thank you so much for reading the story, and hopefully you'll enjoy book 4 once I start putting it up! |
