Wow! TID is up to 89 chapters?? Prolific Elempi!

And this-- ...did I say February... I was feeling vaguely tardy anyway.

I have a few more posts in me, so relax and read for a bit. The challenge of the 'game' is that no one knows the song of the stream but the girl, whom nobody can find (and NImrodel has yet to discover that it's her.) The song is hidden deep in Amroth's heart, but she has to choose to seek for it there and that will take a bit of trust-gaining.

Ayone can play but we especially need Indil/Mithrellas/Angela, who can mirror Nimrodel's already weary/not yet aware/ will be reunited theme. Nimrodel has gone back to 'innocent child' for the duration of the game, and I think that will be her healing, when she finds the song. However her childlikeness throws Amroth a little off kilter.

Tharonwe can cause some grief, or Jorje some comic relief.

It's been long enough since I reread/listened to the story that I'm fuzzy again. But at least the past cou-ple pages worked most everybody in at least once. That's good, I won't feel guilty if someone gets a little neglected (Aedegard, where are you?)

Alak? You out there? Feel free to run with Erebemlin, and I sent Avarien to the borders of Lorien to bring Taitheneb back into the story. He can play from Lorien, she'll connect him with what's going on at the mountainside dale. THey can hunt for the song together. Ultimately Amroth has it, but I couldn't leave Taitheneb out of the tale at its climax...
