Terrible Tales

We are having fun in the LOTRGFIC Group with a challenge to write a sentence or two as badly as possible.

Here is my attempt for anyone not in the group to either shudder or laugh at. All errors are intentional.

 

legolas collapsed into Aragon's arms in a heap his long golden tresses
framing his pallid ivory features.The ranger fixed silver eyes upon his
stricken friend."Are u OK?"he asked.
"i'm fine",said the brave elf,pulling an arrow from his breast with a mighty tug.

Aragorn and Arwen

Into the woods


Title – Into the Woods
Author: Linda Hoyland
Characters/Pairing: Aragorn/Arwen

Rating: PG

Singing softly to himself, Estel, or Aragorn, as he now knew his true name to be, wandered through Imladris’ leafy glades. The woods were ever fair, but never more so than in their fresh spring garb of verdant hue. The trees sang too, as the breeze rippled through their branches.

A maiden danced beneath the birches moving gracefully in time to their music.

Aragorn gazed enthralled. Fairer than the Evening Star, she was both young and ancient of days. He stood abashed: young and green as a fresh sapling buffeted by the wind.

She smiled, and his heart was forever lost.

Faramir had dreamed of the wave again last night. Was Middle-earth doomed to be destroyed like Númenor of old?
 
The Steward wandered through the gardens trying to dispel his dark thoughts. A single primrose bloom caught his eye. Every year without fail, the dainty yellow flowers returned as heralds of spring’s return. His spirits rose.

“My Lord?”

Faramir turned and saw the Warden with a stranger. His head spun, while his heart soared. Never had he beheld a maiden so fair! The darkness, could not, would not prevail; not now a maid with sun bright hair had stolen his heart!

A Cat may look at a King

Mewing loudly, the orange cat rubbed against Aragorn’s legs as he paused to speak to some children near the Citadel.

“That’s Marmalade,” a little girl informed him. “He follows me everywhere!”

Aragorn smiled at the child and stroked her pet. The cat was a magnificent feline. It reclined on the warm     stones as if it owned them, the sun gleaming on its tawny fur.

“You are like Marmalade,” said the little girl.

Aragorn was about to protest when the cat stretched and regarded him with a regal air.

Whether cat or King was more lordly would be difficult to say!

The bowl of cherries stood in the centre of the table, each fruit almost glowing with ripe, juicy sweetness.

Eldarion eyed the fruit longingly. He had been told not to eat them, but they looked so tasty! How could he resist?

“Surely no one would miss just one?” the little boy asked himself.

Soon the bowl was filled only with stones while Eldarion’s fingers and mouth were crimson with the juice of the forbidden fruit.

“Eldarion!” cried his mother accusingly. “Those cherries were meant for us all to share for dessert.”

Eldarion’s face turned as red as the purloined cherries.

This result does not surprise me!

Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test...

Linguistic

12% Logical, 29% Spatial, 61% Linguistic, 35% Intrapersonal, 18% Interpersonal, 25% Musical, 4% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 51% Naturalistic!

"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia)

What Pet Are You Like?

You Are Like a Cat
You are independent and a bit stubborn. You are content to do your own thing.
You are curious about the world but still an individual. You prefer to be a solo explorer.

You enjoy your alone time, but you also like some quiet company from time to time.
You crave companionship, even if it means just spending time in the same room together.

Rosemary to remember days past, and her mother far away; red roses for the love she shares with the man she weds this day. A few sprigs of orange blossom to ensure Yavanna grants her children. Then laurel, to remind her that she marries a hero, victorious in battle.

 

She would have chosen elanor and niphredil, but none grew in this City of Men. Instead, she chooses bitter rue for Arwen's forsaken immortality.


Galadriel tied the bouquet with  blue ribbon to honour the steadfastness of the one she knew would make Arwen happy. Smiling, she led her to her bridegroom.

The roses bloomed early in Gondor, a profusion of blossoms in pink and white, and released a headier perfume than those in the North. Or did he just fancy it so, now that he could gather them freely for his beloved?

 

Ignoring the gardeners’ scandalised expressions, Aragorn carefully selected the finest blooms for his Queen. It was the least he could do for the one who had given him her all.

 

A sharp pain pierced his finger. He glanced down and saw the droplet of crimson blood. The roses were fair indeed, but each stem bore cruel thorns in plenty.

Blood staining the ground from men and horses; the screams and stench of battle, trampled earth beneath a lowering sky.

Sorrowful sights and sounds from that day haunted Faramir’s dreams.

Long years passed until he chanced that way again.



Sunlight and dappled shade. A fragrant breeze blowing from the west. Was this truly the place of so much slaughter?

The ground was scarlet still, not now with blood, though, but with bright poppies, their delicate heads swaying as if in a dance.

A great peace fell upon Faramir.  Darkness had not endured. The brilliant blossoms sparkled; scarlet in the sun.
