AMC--Chapter Forty-Eight

Mar 30, 2006 10:37

I am posting a day early because Bobby and I are driving up north to Hershey tonight to see Stars on Ice, and I am off from work tomorrow. And I know myself. I will not wake up until ten (maybe eleven); Bobby and I will go out to lunch; we will find ways to distract ourselves for a couple of hours. By the time I find my way onto the computer, you ( Read more... )

Oh Tyelkormo!!!! And indeed, he has grown as well.

I clear my throat, and they both jump, and Carnistir starts to squeal, but that quickly, Tyelkormo’s hand is over his mouth, his other hand indicating that he should be quiet. Absurdly, I find myself obeying, creeping down the hall to whisper, “What are you two up to?” gathering Carnistir into my arms. His head rolls back and forth, looking from me to the door, back to me, back to the door, until I seize his chin and force him to look at me. “Hmm? What are you doing?”

So... strange... no halflings running towards Nelyo and shouting his name? As you write on later, he must have enjoyed being the elder brother quite a lot!

Since I can remember, this has been Atar’s mantra. “I cannot!” Macalaurë and I would cry, in our youths, frustrated by Atar’s ever-escalating expectations. “It is impossible!” And always, he would answer: “But, my loves, nothing undone is impossible.”

Leaving us no choice, no excuse.

And there you have such a key part of why the Fëanorians were so driven to ( ... )

woops....

Can you tell I will be playing D&D soon?

ROFL!

What character(s) do you play, btw? My Meryth is an Elven ranger, with a very dumb handler (me) who completely forgot to use all his special abilities during one of our recent games....

Rosie Underbough is a fiery and passionate halfling Rogue/Ranger. She is quite a thief (very interested in shineys) and got interested into the Ranger stuff after Kane, a paladin she regarded as her brother, died... under her hands while she tried to safe him. She's very good with a bow :c) She at least can make balloons out of unconscious drifting in the air wizards ;)

Valmir is my half-elf fighter and a wee bit of a cleric. A kinda warrior priest. His alignment is neutral, so depending on his mood, he'll try to turn undead or heal you. He just looooves his longsword.

And there you have such a key part of why the Fëanorians were so driven to succeed, even when their father was gone. Brilliantly written!

Thank you, firstly! :)

I tend to agree with Feanor, too. Three hundred years ago, what we do now daily in terms of technology and science--my writing this comment to you, an ocean away, for example--would have been thought impossible.

I hadn't really thought of Feanor's philosophy too much in Middle-earth, but you're totally right. As everyone else was screaming that retrieving the Silmarils was impossible, I can imagine the boys thinking, "...and so far undone. And nothing undone is impossible." And digging in harder. :)

Wow... this is what I thought vaguely about earlier on, when Nelyo was talking to Olwe and how Macalaurë was stunned by how easily Nelyo talked to him... this is the why, the almost perfect diplomat.

When I started to write this and thought of each son's special gift and how I would develop it in the story--later stories!--I thought that Maitimo's diplomacy, his ability to ( ... )
