Ha! So there is a horse. And he played a role in their rescue. All's well with the world... and I'm sure he did a better job than Mouse would have under the circumstances. Interesting choice to stay with Legolas' POV here. It takes away all the mad rush back to palace, all the near-death experiences and stuff. But at the same time it leaves room for the reader to come up with own gapfillers.
Author's Response: Yes, there is a horse. Tuilinn insisted on being in the story and of course he had to save the day. *g* It would be really interesting to see what Mouse would have done in a similar situation. Knowing you and Mouse, I guess that would be a very entertaining story. ;-) It somehow felt right to stay with Legolas' POV here. I didn't want the reader to know more than he did. I tried to make up for all the missing scenes by having Nestadren tell Legolas about what happened while he was unconscious. I hope I did give enough information to satisfy both Legolas and my readers' curiosity *and* leave room for one's own imagination. Frankly, I would like to write some of the missing scenes from Thranduil's POV one day. :)
