Aha! Legolas-bootcamp. What an idea:) I had a little inkling that there was more going on that what you could see on the surface. You gave enough hints for that - Dolien was so very efficient and matter-of-fact for a villain. It was most unusual. But I hadn't expected Glorfy under the mask, you surprised me there:) As for Arwen and the wolves: Do I spot the originals for little red riding hood here? What if the Brothers Grimm only built on a much older myth - one come down to us from eons past *lowers voice*. Or some such. You have to admit, the thought is hilarious! And I think one of your sentences sparked a bunny: Even a Mirkwood elf should know that Lorien rope was not to be broken by anything that would not also break the bones held within the coils. That sounds like it could spawn a story. And lastly, YAY for the Hamlet-quote!
Author's Response: Thanks, Michelle! I tried really hard to write a story that would not give me away as the author, as some have said my Glorfindel is a little too predictable. It was fun writing him a little darker and edgier. Too bad I had to make Legolas such a little innocent to make it work.
The idea of the 'Arwen and the Wolves' being the origin of "little red, etc." is too funny. But all these myths and tales have to come from *somewhere*.... As for the bunny from that line; run with it! No one's every taken something from one of my stories as a bunny, so that would be a big move up for me! You know, being an inspiration, and all...
