Preview for The Eyes of An Adult
"Elves?" Estel gasped disbelievingly. "No, I think you're wrong."
Fialoh knew he had hit a nerve, but he didn't know why. "Yeah, they're inferior. It's one of the reasons they avoid humans. They think they are so much better but they aren't. Have you ever seen one associating with humans?"
Estel knew that Fialoh was angry at the elves, but he also knew that this sort of prejudices were stupid. His brothers had always warned him about the scorn he would receive. He wasn't gullible like he had been five years ago. He knew about the elves. It was true though, they didn't associate with humans much. "They are stronger though, more beautiful than humans," Estel said. Angry thoughts were swirling around in his mind.
"They are beautiful creatures," Fialoh continued. "I'll give them that."
Estel nodded, his blood was beginning to boil at the boy's cruel words, though. "I better go, I need to get home. My brother will be worried if I don't meet him soon."
Fialoh nodded and smiled at Estel. "I hope you and your brother take care. Look out for those horrible elves!"
Estel waved as though he was in a dream and continued to meet Elladan.
Summary: Estel has been raised by the elves and has always known their ways. When he meets a human boy and a human girl around his own age, he is intrigued. He wants to know more about his people, but he is faced with the prejudices that the humans have built. Thrust into the bitterness of reality, Estel is forced to see the world in the eyes of an adult.
Someone Reading: Mellon-nin I am so sorry. You are absolutely correct. I messed up in the last chapter. I do apologize and I hope you forgive me. I couldn't get angry with you! You didn't do anything wrong except point out where I erred. I want to thank you for your insight and telling me where I messed up. I am really sorry! I really hope things start to look up for you. I hope you feel better soon. I am so sorry things have been going badly for you. I send you lots of hugs. huggles tight I hope you feel better soon. I am sorry things aren't going well. Heehee, I thought it would be nice to add a little humor with the twins into the fic. Everyone loves them and their antics. They are so wonderful to write. You will find out more about Salnwen and Salndir in the new fic. It mentions them and things that happened to them. :-D I hope you like it. LOL! Estel should whip them himself. Nah, he is too sweet of a soul to do that. No, don't apologize. You didn't make a mistake, I did. Don't feel bad for pointing those things out. I messed up shrugs everyone makes mistakes, right? Thank you for pointing that one out. I will change it. Sorry once again. Thank you so much for reading, and just being such a wonderful reviewer. I loved your reviews and I always look forward to them. Thank you!!!
Catmint: Oh faithful beta, please forgive me!! I am so sorry about not including you in the reviewer responses in the final chapter. I really didn't mean to exclude you! I apologize and I just want to thank you for being such a wonderful and loyal beta. You've been nothing but helpful and I want to thank you. Thank you so much for reading it makes me so happy!! Thank you for the compliment on my talent, you are so much better though. You are terrific and I love to read all of your fics. I love them all and I love reading them even more. (Of course…what else would I do with them if I didn't read them?) Heehee the twins are such wonderful characters. They are my comic relief and I love to write about them. I thought it would be fun to squeeze them into a chair together and then make them try and get out. Thank you for reviewing! I am so happy you like the nightmare. I thought it would be fun to throw in there and it held a bunch of value. I hope you really enjoyed the fic, I feel horrible for not responding to you in the last chapter. I am sooooo sorry!!
