Enigmas-The Life and Love of Frodo and Linwe

Of Origins and Enigmas

Have you ever taken the time to consider the origins of some of the biggest moments of your life?

It is interesting to consider that often these important moments have their start in a seemingly un-important unrelated event. Your Uncle decides to go on vacation with a pack of dwarves and comes home with a small, plain looking ring. Years later you find yourself risking life, limb and sanity to toss that ring back into the fires that forged it. If only your uncle had stayed home!

Ever since I finished reading The Lord of the Rings I have been thinking of how nice it would be if Frodo’s part of the story ended a little bit differently. I wanted to give Frodo a little more happiness and hope, in the form of romantic love. But was this even possible? Frodo was severely wounded on the quest, in spirit as well as in body. In order for Frodo to fall in love there would need to be a Hobbitess who on some level, could understand all that he had been through.

What seemingly unrelated events could lead to the development of a truly unique Hobbitess, with the life experiences that allow her to understand Frodo’s pain, and give her the power to win his love?

Enigma- a perplexing, baffling, or seemingly inexplicable matter, person, etc. –SYN. Mystery

To me this story is about numerous inexplicable matters and people. For each mystery solved several more may pop up in it’s place. Events and choices both large and small, each of them key elements of a greater whole.



This story is lovingly dedicated to Pearl Took. Were it not for her encouragement and support I would likely have never embarked on this, one of the most amazing journeys of my life. You’re my dearest friend and I love you.


Sing by* by Travis

Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
Solo, why do you have to get so low
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long

But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

Colder, crying on your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going to early
Hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped

But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
