Hello, dear readers! I am so overwhelmed by the amount of favorites/follows, and reviews that this story has gotten. I am honestly humbled by the responses I'm still receiving, even now that it is finished! After long consideration, have an announcement to make.

Mira Meliandra was the first to request this, followed by KelseyBI, Nicci1234, .3954, Tolkienite14, Sofasoap, Iathano, veronicamarieeckhart, and thesunisblind. I was really thrilled by the response to this story, and pondered writing a sequel as requested by these lovely people, but was not given the proper idea until Eryndil suggested I do another journal telling Fili's point of view of this same stretch of time. So you can hold her responsible for the forthcoming content, because I am, in fact, beginning working on a sequel! I will be posting the first chapter momentarily so that you can add it to your alerts if you so desire, but after that there will be a bit of a gap as I ponder where the story will head. Eventually, I hope to achieve the same day-by-day effect that I had with Sigrid's journal.

Also, full credit goes to Winters-Dawn1221 for naming the baby (whom you already know about if you've read Lady of the Lake, and whom you will come to know better if you read the forthcoming sequel). She named the dear child before I ever had an intention of writing a sequel/counterpart, and I promised I would use the beautiful name she chose if I ever wrote another Figrid fic involving their wee one.

That being said, head over to the story titled "Son of the Mountain" and hope you enjoy!

Lady Viola
