Encounter in Ithilien, Epilogue, by Dreamflower

Epilogue


He had been wrong. He was glad he had been wrong.


There had been no mission of espionage from the Steward, just a long and dangerous quest by two small and valiant people, to do what even Isildur could not do: put a final end to the Dark Lord and all his works.


And he had been wrong about not seeing them alive again as well--though that had been a question on everyone's mind for two weeks. Yet here they were, looking very tiny and forlorn, in the ragged clothes they had worn into the Black Land, being led by Mithrandir.


They had walked into Shadow and brought back the Light.


He grinned, glancing over at Eradan and Anborn and the others, and raised his own voice to join in the others:



Long live the Halflings! Praise them with great praise!
Cuio i Pheriain anann! Aglar’ni Pheriainnath!
Praise them with great praise, Frodo and Samwise!
Daur a Berhael, Conin en Annûn! Eglerio!
Praise them!
Eglerio!
A laita te, laita te! Andave laituvalmet!
Praise them!
Praise them! The Ring-bearers, praise them with great praise!

ooh that sounds like a blast dreamflower! how fun to be paid to discuss LOTR :)

[dreamflower]

Talking with customers is really my favorite part of the job, even more than getting to do the crafts. And if the customer wants to talk about LotR...*grin*

That sounds like so much fun! I worked at a Renaissance Faire a year ago, and *everyone* talked LOTR. It was so much fun, and as I was hawking masks, I told people that I could make them look like Treebeard and the Mirkwood Elves. It was great! ^_^

Ooh, that does sound like it was fun! I've only ever been to SCA events; I've never been to a professional RenFaire, just amateur ones like the one we are demo-ing at this weekend.

Wow, it's funny how sometimes something we are not looking forward to turns out to be great fun.

[dreamflower]

It is, isn't it. I had hoped to have had Sun. off to spend time with my DH, but I'm glad I got to do that.

Oooo that is so incredibly nice of you to help the little girl. It sounds incredibly awesome.. a paper mache box that looks like a book. That is another thing I adore about you.. you are such an incredible craftsperson... wow..

[dreamflower]

Yes, we have both paper mache and wood boxes shaped like big old books! I'm thinking about doing something with one of them myself, now.
I do love crafting. I'm working on a cigar box purse right now, and I'm going to decoupage a pair of shoes as well.
As soon as coneygoil and I figure it out, I hope to post some pics of some of my stuff.

What fun! I only wish I could see the finished project!

[dreamflower]

I told her I'd love to see it when it was done. Sometimes I tell customers that, but only every now and then do they bring it in for me to see. I'm hoping she will.

[coneygoil.livejournal.com]

That's so awesome!!! It's always fun meeting LotR people :)

[dreamflower]

Yes it is, isn't it? *grin*

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

That sounds wonderful! It`s always great when meeting other hobbity people, isn`t it. :D

[dreamflower]

And you never know when it will happen, either, LOL!

Sounds like a great day at work! I used to have those at the bookstore, but no one calls in for insurance benefits and wants to talk about much of anything interesting. *sigh* Why can't the jobs that pay more, be more interesting? You have me wanting to make a diorama now. I used to love arts and crafts but haven't done anything in ages. Maybe some needle point would be fun.

[dreamflower]

Goodness, that would be dreadful! Whenever I go in to pay our insurance, we yak our heads off about everything under the sun. If I'm on my own, I can take 30, 45 minutes to pay the bill. When my DH and I both go, I make him go in, otherwise, he'd be waiting in the truck for me forever.
You should do some crafting if you like it. It's very relaxing, in a different way than writing fics. Now, needlepoint is one kind of stitchery I've not tried, but I've seen some beautiful patterns.
