Little princess Mee
"Softly goes, my song's entreaty, Thro' the night to thee. In the silent woods I wait thee, come, my love, to me"
There is that story about Nimrodel following her mirror image, dancing by the edge of the water, enthralled.
What would they say if they knew how near the truth those Halflings are? They would be surprised, certainly. Our kind is ever ( Read more... ) -
Earth
He is walking through a garden. He is walking right over someone's carefully tended crops and carrots. There is some blood on his boots, and it makes a mess. Right now, he is still too proud to look down, too caught up in the fading heat of battle, the slight, stinging pit in his stomach, the sure knowledge of loss.
