    Very, very well done, indeed! I am honored to have my beads journey to Edoras with you. I felt almost as though I were reading about an adventure two of my 'Princes' had while I wasn't looking! ; ) I liked your characterization of the twins very much and, as usual, your lovers are wonderful. Beautiful chapter!

    I have been so swamped trying to get "Anira" updated that I've put off reviewing. I know I know no excuse but I'm here now. I loved the whole prophacy(I can't spell without a spellchecker). What are they going to do if Mirkwood rejects them? OH! Hurry and update.

    SPOILERS BELOW:

    Yet another amazing, breathtaking chapter. Why I think so detailed below:

    “We all carry torches, flaring into the darkness. Eowyn walks beside me, she pulls her hair into a twist and secures it behind her head.”

    This is a nice detail. As hair is a means of self-expression and declaration, Eowyn certainly is “in a twist.”

    +++++

    ““Diorwen sighs. “That is still my favourite story Ro.” She says softly, using her baby name for me. Her finger lifts to trace the tear from my cheek. “You told it so beautifully, this time.”

    Yes no doubt I did, never before has it been so real to me. I cannot answer her, my voice is stilled. I am so totally aware of the course I have chosen and stunned that its significance had not occurred to me so fully before. I will hurt him. I do not want that! I love hiow cow can we reconcile our futures?””

    This is indeed the nature of myths isn’t it? We can hear our our whole lives and not understand them until we have a reason to like once we fall in love, or become parents, etc.

    This is a profound thing for Rowannen to suddenly realize that it is immortality that is the curse here and that loving her will take more courage than any battle Legolas has ever fought in.

    +++++++

    “The sense of fear is palpable, so thick that you could almost grasp handfuls of it from the air. I try to quell my shaking. “Legolas, Legolas, Legolas.” Is all I can think of. “

    This is so simple and so eloquent.

    +++++



    “we had a good vantage and my quiver was full, my knives sharp and my mind as ever was keen. “

    I’m really struck here by how easy it is form him to be clear and concentrate in battle, yet muddled and upset when faced wit emotions and humans.

    ++++++

    Suddenly I was transported from the physical heat and blood of battle to a more spiritual plane. I was transfixed by this wonder, enthralled by the power of the trees. Always had I known of a secret strength but never thought to see it so perfectly and magically manifested for the power of good. I bowed my head in thanks to Yavannie, goddess of all fertile growing things. ‘One day, may I make sacrifice to you Yavannie, in token of this great gift you have bestowed upon Arda?’ I prayed. As I stood in reverence a powerful feeling washed over my mind. ‘Thank you, Legolas, It is already begun. I have plans for you and your sacrifice.’ Came the reply.

    I can feel this in my body – it’s beautiful. And it is so Legolas to pray to be allowed to make a sacrifice, isn’t it? And the Goddess would have to smile upon him….And pagan that I am, it brought a special smile to my face….


    +++++



    “Legolas, had you fallen I would have found your body and laid my own down beside it.”

    The image tears at my soul. My arms tighten around her; my face again sinks into her hair. I love her. I love her. I love her.”


    I don’t know what to say about this except it’s perfect and made me sob.

    ++++++


    ““Eomer,” I say sadly. “Glad I am to see you back with your people again and unharmed. It warms my heart, but please release me.”

    His eyes are questioning.

    “From the manner of your embrace I think you hope for something of myself that I cannot give, Eomer.” I continue. “My heart belongs to another.””

    You handle this beautifully, as does Rowannen.

    ++++++++


    Haldir’s eyes become questioning. His fingers reach out and touch Legolas’s braids.

    “What is , Le, Legolas?” he queries. “I have never seen these braids before in your hair…..

    “It happened not in Lothlorien and is not to an Elf.” Legolas smiles and draws me to him. “ Haldir, I am pledged to Rowannen of Rohan. My heart is hers.”

    The shock in Haldir’s eyes is like the stroke of an axe.

    “Surely you jest!” he says, but his eyes as he looks at us, recognize the bond.



    Well, we could see this coming, couldn’t we? I love it – it’s a brilliant idea. I have some other thoughts I’ll e-mail you separately.

    ++++++


    “When Mithrilgold and Redgold are melded let the fourth age of splendour ensue. The curve of his lips writes new history and her pledge brings forth promise anew.”

    The wizard looks at us searchingly. “It may be that you are those to whom this refers. Keep true to each other Legolas and Rowannen, whatever befalls.” He says, and his eyes are serious.

    “There is no other course open to us, Mithrandir.” Legolas answers and before the assembled company he draws me to his arms and kisses me deeply. A great hush descends on all gathered around us.


    Brilliant brilliant and did I mention brilliant. As is your daughter, no doubt.


    This is poetic, sexy, profound, tantalizing and gorgeous. I LOVE IT and I can’t wait to see where it will take our lovers.

    You are the Queen, Rozzan love, and I bow to you….

    Rozzan, I am just STUNNED by this latest chapter. There is so much emotion, so many deep feelings between L&R that their interaction is just breathtaking. I'm just so floored and I'm probably babbling but I think you know what I'm trying to say:):) PLEASE post more soon!!

    BLUE MAGIC...!

    Thank you so much for your amazing review! I am almost crying here.

    *Sorry if this sounds like I'm writing ok rok report! You just made me think
    about a lot of things. I feel like Tolkein just gives us a pen and ink
    sketch of Legolas and you are painting in the colors in rich India inks. You
    are making the y bey become more alive to me then the original. There. I've
    just said you are improving Tolkein. I don't think I can pay you a greater
    compliment then that!*

    NO You cannot pay me a greater compliment than that. I am amazed. I am also
    humbled and pleased. I feel so grateful that you are getting what I really
    hoped to put across. I wanted Legolas to be so real, to show his thoughts
    and emotions. I hope to do so even more in the future. I think that's what I
    meant wI saI said in of one of the chapter notes that I felt sorry for
    Leggy. He is only hinted at, in a way, in the book, and even though I adore
    Orlando as him, in the film and think it was a masterful portrayal of the
    elf by him and director Peter Jackson; he is still limited, and I wanted to
    know him even more. That you think I am making him stand out in colour and
    beleive in him totally is marvellous. As for the braids, yes the elves will
    notice. Won't spoil it fou bou but they will get two differing reactions
    shortly, and these reactions will colour Rowannen's learning curve.

    CAUTION: Spoilers Below:

    "You may dress your hair, in whatever fashion you desire.” He tells me. “ But I would be honoured if sometimes you would braid your hair in this way for me, to show your undying love for me, Melamin. Then all elves will recognize your pledge.”

    I love this whole scene with the braids and their significance. It's intimate and sweet and lovely. And I found myself wondering what you are foreshadowing here, since after the battle is over is the first time they'll be around alot of elves together. How will they react to her and Legolas?



    "I cannot imagine what a burden it must be to live throthe the ages and see so much and yet not be able cry. I wonder at him and how he deals with life." This made the point for me of the real burden of immortality and all of the challenges these two will face. Phew.

    "I feel anger rising inside me. “Or too few!” I snap, looking back to Haleth. “They are frightened, all of them. I can see it in their eyes.”

    Rowannen and Eowyn are staring at me. They have not seen me angry before. I try to pull myself under control. This never happens to me in elven realms. In elvish society I always am measured and in control, can discuss any issue calmly. Now I am failing to get a grip. What is it about these mortals that incites in me such emotion?"

    I think this whole dynamic is fascinating. I love the thought that his love for Rowannen and Aragorn and his appreciation for the new baby and his concern for the lives of all these people causes him to unravel. Because it is his loyalty and love for others that is thing we know most about him. As someone who wears their heart on their sleeve and my emotions all over my face, I know if I was in a relationship with him I would probably be trying to make him unravel.



    "I would slay 10,000 ofor for you."

    This takes a different kind of courage. Before Rowannen, Legolas was a warrior and a friend and fought from that platform. BUt now he also has the life of the woman he loves to protect, and that has to bring him a kind of fear like he's never known before.


    Sorry if this sounds like I'm writing a book report! You just made me think about alot of things. I feel like Tolkein just gives us a pen and ink sketch of Legolas and you are painting in the colors in rich India inks. You are making the story become more alive to me then the original. There. I've just said you are improving Tolkein. I don't think I can pay you a greater compliment then that!

    Um........... You have rendered me speachless over the last two chapters. I was in tears. And I keep asking myself how will this end? You have crafted such raw emotion in your story I just don't seem to have the words to express mine. Yeah I know odd for a writer to say something like that but it's . C. Chapter 6 of "Anira" is up, would love to hear from you.

    Rozzan this latest chapter simply blew me away. You've really managed to do what many writers attempt but few few actually achieve; write beautifully erotic intimate scenes that are full of love and passion and not just smut;) Really wonderfully written chapter! I can't wait to read more:):)

    Rozzan, this is so achingly beautiful it leaves me at something of a loss for words. It is so loving and sensual and just gorgeous. My heart hurt when I read it. It is wonderful to see her stepping up to take care of him and seeing more of her strength whcih we know she has, its just been somewhat eclipsed by his experience up until now. And I love the line about his back arching as he would string his bow. God, that's good. Long, deep sigh.
