YAY!!!

She betas. She writes. She cracks jokes. Now she drabbles! Bow smiley face

Very beautiful drabble about your fave elf. Very eloquent! Inspring reason why he would fight so hard to rid Mirkwood of the shadow. It makes you feel good that at last he finally saw the day come where the darkness lifted and he could once again see the sun glistening like silver and gold on the trees.

A wonderful drabble about one of my favorite elves (as you know). Smile smiley face

I thought the picture you painted of Thranduil's first view of Greenwood from the mountains was very poetic and I can see why it would inspire him to fight the Shadow. Great drabble!

A really nicely imagined moment, Ellisk; holding a somewhat jaundiced view of Thranduil myself I liked the mix of nobility, strength, gold- and silver-love I heard in your characterization.

The thing that really struck me from this was the comparison between the light on Greenwood and that of the Two Trees. I've always had difficulty imagining the sheer scale of the Trees, and how important they were in Valinor, but I thought in that short line, you managed to get across a sense of that, and of how the elves who hadn't seen the light might have always wondered about it. I also liked the idea of Thranduil's first glimpse of the wood being his motivation for continuing all those years. It made sense to me, as I've always thought Thranduil's patriotism, as it were, and love of his realm shone through even in The Hobbit when he was being, well, a little crotchety.

This is wonderful. A memory that can take you through the ages. (And I cannot remember what I ate last night.) You can almost see Greenwood through his eyes. Thank you for sharing.

Oh yes, this is Greenwood the Great! I always thought of Mirkwood and the spiders whohunted poor Bilbo and the dwarves, but you reminded me that it wasn't always like that!

Stunning as always !!! Bow smiley face

So much powerful imagery packed into a little piece and I love the idea of Thranduil's on-going battle to free his lands from Shadow and to return his precious woods to their former glory.

You know, all what has said above, I fully agree with. Yet, another compliment I want to make. In this drabble where you compare Anar's light over Greenwood the Great with the light of the two trees, you gave us insight that even for a Moriquendi there is a lot to fight for. You don't need to have seen the pride of the Valar or hunt after the Silmaril to find something that is worth fighting for. A great perspective on Thandruil. Thank you for sharing!

Lovely drabble, an excellent view of Thranduil showing both the hardships he has known, and his reverence for the light, even the Light he has never seen, that of the Two Trees.
