I appreciate your words and your approval of my focus on Earendil, a character who often gets maligned a bit for his "desertion" of home and family.  

I was uncertain about the Old English, but actually did look up the usage and thy/thine are interchangeable and dependent upon preference of the writer.  I chose to use thine in this particular usage.

Well, I have the knowledge of the telescope already present.  I had Helyanwe making one for Idril a few months ago in a story.  So it seemed likely that it was something she learned when she was apprenticing with Lord Aule and that he could give such an item to Earendil.  After all, if you were flying above lands that you used to know, wouldn't you want to take a closer look?  LOL.  Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated as always!

Perhaps.  I doubt he will be able to see them every night.  There will be clouds, the pathway he may take may need to be varied, and Maedhros and Maglor probably move often to avoid being discovered.  But I do think that he feels more relief at having his sons in their care, with a dash of common sense.  The two kinslayers probably are fairly conversant with how to take care of young boys having had so many younger brothers that they undoubtedly helped care for while they were growing up in Tirion

Thanks, Ellynn, I am quite fond of the stars (as are you, if I recall correctly) and can just imagine learning all about them as a young child.  Then, having the opportunity to sail among them would be marvelous.  But Morgoth lurks in the North and he was responsible for the death of his mother and his city.  It was Earendil's coming to the Valar that started the machines of war in Aman and, indeed, they will bring war to the gates of Angband.  Thank you so much for your words :-)
