lovely chapter as usual. i think you have gotten better and better as this story progresses and you have me hooked from the first sentence and me wanting to see the email telling me you have updated.
thanks for writing such a brilliant story and keep up the good work.
rawnel and colotur awww old love not young love sweet.
update again soon loving it x

Author's Response: Thank you! Chapter 44 is up and I\'m about through with chapter 45. It took a dark turn which surprissed me, but at least I never get bored.

I\'m glad you\'re still enjoying the story. Thanks for the review and all your support.

thanks for updating, good timing i'll take it as a birthday present lol. this was a brilliant chapter and i continue to love your story update again soon

Author's Response: Happy Birthday! I\'m a cancer too. I\'ll be 37 on July 15th. I\'m sorry it took me so long to post 47, it was ready a week ago, but I couldn\'t think of a title. Then I realized I had two copies of it and I posted the wrong one. You may want to re-read it, just in case you read the wrong one.

Thanks for the review, and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

another wonderful chapter
keep up the good work
of to work so sorry about the short review

Author's Response: Thank you. I appreciate you taking time to review, even when you\'re in a hurry. There will be some surprises for Elaura coming. She may have some new talents, but luckily she can\'t see the future.

Thanks for the review!

amazed once again by your story, you put so much detail which helps me create in my imagination a picture. everytime i dont think you can get better you do in some littel way and makes it even more enjoyable to read your story. i love the characters and how you portray everyone, you bring a new twist to even the most done concept.

by the way i hope you had a nice bd beause i forgot to put that in my last review.
one last thing, you had me laughing all day at the thought of a hundred caffinated dwarves running about, pity we dont have a few of those at work things would get done alot faster though gimli doesnt seem fond of horses so i dont know
anyway thanks for writing and i eagerly await the next update

Author's Response: Gimli would just need a horse that\'s a little shorter so he wouldn\'t have to ask for help getting into the saddle.

I did have a nice birthday. Just sat at home and wrote; exactly what I wanted to do.

I\'m glad you\'re enjoying the story. Early on one of the most common suggestions I got was to add more detail and set the scenes better. I listened. Thanks for mentioning the \"done concept\" thing. I know some of my major plot themes have been done over and over, but I like to think nothing can truly be original except the way you present it. It really frees your mind when you aren\'t always trying NOT to do something or other (another thing my reviewers helped me learn).

Thanks for the review.

very cool chapter, really well written and detailed again. elaura seriously kicks ass, i thought she had become soft without the fighting but she was very cool in this chapter. keep up the good work and updating so fast, its really good to read your work so often. x

Author's Response: She did get a little soft after her accident, but she\'s worrking on it. The next two chapters promise to be exciting. Hope you like them.

Thanks for the review.

another wonderful chapter, lots of elven hugging going around which is always good. i have a question, where are the twins going to be born eryn lasgalen or minas tirith or have you not planned that far ahead. thanks for writing and hope you update again soon

Author's Response: Thank you. The babies will be born in Eryn Lasgalen. Elaura and Legolas will go with the others to escort Theoden\'s body back to Rohan and they will go with Gimli to see the Glittering Caves. The three of them will part from the rest of the company at Fangorn Forest and find their own way back to Thranduil\'s palace. That\'s the plan anyway. I never really know for sure. Glad you are enjoying the story, thanks for the review!

a wonderful chapter, i loved seeing it from legolas's point of view. okinawa sounds interesting, i'd love to go there sometime.
i actually feel sorry for melkor at this point the teletubbies always freaked me out for some reason. well thanks for writing i have to go now to a scarecrow festival, wonderful english madness lol
hope you update again soon

Author's Response: It is. Teletubbies are a guilty little secret of mine; that and Bear in the Big Blue House. I guess they are designed to be sweet and soothing and it works on me.

Okinawa is beautiful and very interesting. I know you said you had a good time at the festival, I would have loved to see the Jack Sparrow one, myself. Johnny Depp is another of my guilty pleasures.

Sorry I haven\'t updated in a while; it\'s been a crazy week here. I\'m sure it\'ll calm down soon. It had better, because work is burning me out. Thanks for the review!

oh wow this was a awesome chapter, i would love to be part of something like that. and wandlimb at the end very nice.

thanks for writing even though you said you have been busy with work it is most deffinatly appreciated and enjoyed.

Author's Response:

Thank you, thank you.  I'm just about ready to post the next chapter.

Thanks for the feedback!

great chapter, worth the wait. i love the decription of all the different wizards minds very interesting. i think the wizards robes are very cool, i want one if i could use it.
thanks for writing, very much appreciated.
ps greetings from scotland, thats where i currently am, so virtual haggis for all lol.

Author's Response: Those robes get better and better, too. Hope you\'re having a good time in Scotland. I\'ve always wanted to visit. Take care and thank you for taking the time to review even when you\'re out and about!

thanks so much another chapter or at least the continuation of the last one. thanks for writing even though you dont have much time.

Author's Response: Even when I don\'t have time they hound me until i make time . . . the characters, I mean. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
