AWESOME! Not a big fan of lord of the rings but I loved the way you combined them.

Thank you! I really wanted to write for this prompt, but combining the two verses was hellishly difficult.

Jesus H - this is a seamless connection of the two stories (and additionally the transformation of Beryl to Galaxia - perfect!). As wonderfully dark as this is - I am delighted tomorrow is May!!!
