Chapter 1 - 300 Horses

Ellow rode up the main street of Minnisterreth. She stopped, leaving her Mearas beside the walkway. Truly Rhohanian, she admired the blinding white coat, the gleaming trappings; a birthday gift two months ago. She was still dazzled by its beauty.

Her thoughts drifting, she glanced out over the sprawl of the city. Pellennor Fields was a misnomer. Fields denoted growing things. The only thing growing here was the population.

Locking the doors of the 9857 edition car, she mused, bounding up the stairs to the palace: her grandmother, five thousand years removed, would be surprised to see the grand city.


Chapter 2 - A/N

I feel a slight explanation is due. We wrote one of these drabbles on horses. When I saw the topic for this one, I was at a loss, since I write mostly about elves. Well, this idea popped into my head: What would Minas Tireth be like in the far future? Blame it on my twisted sense of humour, or just my twisted mind. This is an idea I may explore in greater detail, but I have far too much to keep up with right now.

If anyone cares to point out the misspelling of a couple of words, figure out why I did it, first. If you can, you are very astute. If you cannot, um, too bad.

I hope you enjoyed it.
