Yes, you wrote Leglas-from-the-book! Strong and honest, filled with a sense of adventure.
Your descriptions of the journey and the encounters with the yrch were wonderfully authentic. The fight, with Legolas having to shout directions to blind but deadly Elrohir, was particularly good. I loved the innovation of using star positions to guide him.
The spider was - oh so good! (sorry, I love giant spider attacks, unfortuante quirk of mine)
And this, the whole agony of Arwen's choice wrapped in one small paragraph, left me with gooseflesh. *Arwen hears it not at all, though the sight of gulls winging over Minas Tirith pains her. It is a reminder of what she has forsaken. But there is no question that my brother and I shall sail, after."*
