OMG, thank you so much, Oshun!  I had written a story about them years ago but didn't like the turn it took, so I am rewriting it.  I intend to take it up to when Aredhel meets and marries Eol.  I want to get into her head and hope to explain through her thoughts & actions why she would agree to such a thing when she has such strong ties elsewhere.  I don't know if I can pull it off but I'm damn well going to try.  Thanks again for your inspiring review.
