Galadriel has to be one of my favorite characters, and her scene with the mirror is an intensely real (and terrifying) one.

Although I disagree with the use of asterisks to denote action, this is still a good piece. And you might consider editing this one; the first paragraph needs a bit more punctuation, but it's not too distracting. The effect is rather like poetry without the enters to help with understanding. Not totally a bad thing, huh?

Once again, I like the imagery and like the poetic take on things. ^__^ Much fun! And your vocabulary only adds deeper meaning to that which is already apparent. Words are great.

How difficult it would be to know that you cannot give what is needed, though unasked . . .

Wow. You can almost hear Galadriel in this one. Another bravo for the characterization! Now if only you'd add onto this . . .

Have fun and keep on writing.

"Fear of failure is as ashes in your mouth..." Wow. Beautifully discriptive, lyrical and full of vivid emotion and imagery.

Aw, yeah. This actually sounds like Nenya talking, instead of Galadriel's ominous backbone we know so much about. I liked it, very riddly. Fantastic work!

Woah. I could hear Cate Blanchett's voice reading that. Keep writing, PLEASE! Its rare to find someone who writes character dialogue so well!

That is beautiful. I have chills all over.

Very good again. If you are planning on doing a set of these for the entire journey, I will be looking for them. Your attention to the proper speach patterns of the characters and spelling are greatly appreciated. Its nice to see good fanfiction.
