MessageI've been waiting for you to mention some more of what might happen next, because I too am very worried that Legolas, thinking that he had killed Lindalcon but not succeeded in releasing his fëa, would decide to remain "beyond" the white door for good, despite the fact that his body is still breathing and in the Twins's care. I am hoping that Mithrandir is still somehow there "with" him and can reassure him about that at least, because it's clear that he will blame himself for everything.

I also thought it was very telling that, in his delirium, Legolas cried out for his ada --- and clearly didn't mean Thranduil. This is so terribly sad!

MessageHi Naledi smilie

Thank you so much for this smilie Yes,I am glad this section is finished and you are of course correct; the recovery is not going to be easy and Berenaur's love and commitment are going to be tested severely. With Legolas' personality and past conditioning, he is bound to believe he deserved all that happened to him, because of killing Lindalcon. What is really going to be most difficult is convincing him the phantom in the red room was not his friend, and that Lindalcon truly forgave him. We've got some more troubles ahead, first being to get him back from behind that white door. We will find out what is behind it next. Thank you again smilie

MessageHave not been on your site for a while and now 2 updates of Feud, hurra! That was very hard to read and I think more so to write. From now on I'll check your site more often.

MessageAnother difficult chapter to read, but at least Legolas is freed at the end!

You describe everything so vividly that the horror of what Legolas was experiencing was all too real. I can see now why you found this section of the story so difficult to write. I'm thankful for both Legolas' sake and yours that Legolas' torment is (I hope) over. But how he's ever to recover from such humiliation I can't imagine. Considering what he's been through (and the fact that he was so broken that he begged the wraith to rape him) I'm not sure if he will be comforted by Berenaur's presence or whether he will feel too guilty to accept his love. And how will Berenaur react to what happened? I'm really looking forward to finding out.

Thank you for sharing this. I hope you find writing the rest easier going!

Messagehi ebbingnight smilie

Thank you so very much for the feedback. I felt I had to get out of that place as quickly as I could so I worried maybe i glossed it a bit. I am glad you felt the mental torment was realistic. The combination of the two is what breaks someone down quickly. and you are so right to bring in the past here, for Legolas was preconditioned for this by his own people. That is something he is going to have to face and deal with, as he has not given it his attention so far.

And this chapter is really a landmark for me since it is one of the scenes first developed all those years ago and toward which we have been trudging along. thank you again smilie

MessageI was astonished to see Chapter 106 up so quickly after Chapter 105: you must be exhausted from this unflinching portrayal of what happens to Legolas. His initial realization that he is not in fact "safe" in the Halls of Mandos is heartbreaking. Not only the physical torments inflicted by the Wraith and his orcs as they "use" him for their sport, but the psychological torments inflicted by his own memories being used against him. I can't think of a more vivid depiction of being at the mercy of monsters than this is... and it also brings to the reader's mind earlier, painful scenes that foreshadow this one: the repeated "chastisements" in the storeroom, for instance, where elves behaved like orcs.

That is about is all I can say right now, because I am not good at staring into the heart of darkness for very long, but I wanted to say that this is a spectacular achievement in your wonderful writing of this dark, dark tale.

Messagehi Naledi. Thank you for this feedback very much. I feel certain no one who has been part of Feud from the start thought it could get any worse and maybe wondered why i was reluctant to move past a certain point. How tempting to finish with Legolas bonding to Berenaur! We would not have had any of the answers then, though, and there is a way of things unraveling that could not be ignored. There is still hope, believe it or not, and I am working hard on the next part to get it out soon. Things get darker before it's over, but there will be at least a sigh of relief when it is all done.Thank you again smilie
