I like this one a lot and will add it to my favorites.  A good view of what Celegorm must have been busy with back in Valinor!  Such a shame sometimes that Feanor had to create the silmarils! ;-D   Plus, I personally believe the Feanorians are not all bad...  I wonder though if what Celegorm said about "claiming what is his in the end" is prophetic...

PS.  Any piece about Tyelkormo brings out the "fancrone-itis" in me.  Looking forward to more stuff about my favorite Feanorians (?). 

I like this! Celegorm hunting the king stag, and an agreement between them that the hunt itself is a key part of their nature... interesting!

A hunter who can speak to his prey is clearly a far more complex character than most people portray. That was very well done :D

This is wonderful!  You definitely hit the mark in crafting a folkloric tone, tapping into the ancient legends from Northern Europe and the symbol of the king stag.  The dialogue between hunter and prey is a fascinating, and the stag's thoughts of regret at the loss of his worthy foe speak to a very old archetype.  Very nice!

I love this! The mythic feel to it, the larger-than-life deeds of the heroes: it begs to be told around a fire on a cool night in those very woods. And Lintarin's hope for Celegorm's return at the end was lovely.

P.S.--I think you'll find a lot of fellow Feanatics on this group. ;)

Very nicely done. It reminds me of Greek mythology, and Heracles in particular, and it reads like a fairy tale we all loved when we were kids. Great job!

I enjoyed this!I like the mutual respect between hunter and prey. I like the folktale style too -- it reminds me of the Mabinogion.
