How can parents have no love for their children?

that was great! write some more! i don't mean of this story,cause it had a perfect ending, but another one. but i see so much potential

That doesn't seem as dark as you said it'd be.

Hey,

. . .I think you take FAR too much pleasure in making us reviewers cry! ^_-


Sad story but I still liked it.

A tissue alert indeed! Estel's last line made me cry for the beautiful combination of sadness and hope in it.

*sniff, sniff* that was so sad! i almost cried--and i'm not a crying person. oh, that was sad...

All can say is aw. I love the Estel Elrond stories, it makes me think of the time I spent with my beloved gram. I was crying at the end but it was good crying, sometimes the words of children catch you by suprise.

Oh, that was so sad. Poor Estel. Great sad story. I liked it.

Pretty sad story... and in the good way. But, from the linguistic point of view, there are a few mistakes.

Marcus is a Latin name. Not a good name for mortal boy in Middle-earth. I suspect that he would Gondorian to have known about Rivendell, though being from Bree wouldn't be too far out. Then, he would need either a Sindarin name or a Westron name. E-mail or message me and we'll figure out a name for this tragic little boy.

I don't quite agree with the way that you used Sindarin here. Really, have you ever talked with someone and switched languages in the middle of a sentence? It's like talking like this to a Frenchman:

Jaque, your barbecue is me casser le pied, et tes poulets limbo in my yard! Sais-you?

As you can see, it doesn't make much sense. So, Elrond would be better off just saying, "Yes, Estel?"

Besides, owning someone isn't as flattering in Elvish as it is in English. It's one of those weird little sayings that you can't translate exactly.

Also, there was a grammatical mistake in the Elvish. If you wanted to say "my son" you would put a circumflex accent on the I. "Iôn nin" means "A son is me". You meant, "iôn nîn."

One little canon problem: Aragorn's mother died when he was 76 years old, hardly a little boy. It was only ten years before the War of the Ring.

aw...this was very angsty but I liked the end. It was sweet. This was a really good fic!

Well that was very sad,sad for Aragorn and really tragic for Marcus,at least Estel thought maybe Marcus would be happy with his parents that had passed,leave it to an innocent child to think of things like that.

That was sweet. I like the insight you gave to Estel when his new friend died. This was very cute even if it was about the death of a new friend.

This was very sad and touching.I always wondered if Aragorn ever had any human playmates.

WOT should be back next week,but I'm currently revising an old story and it is more work than I thought.
