Trekqueen-- wanna collaborate?

[sepdet]

I've been distracting you with star trek and religion and all sorts of blather, but we've got a writing prompt in the Return of the Noldor thread I sucked you into. Wanna hash out our next posts in tandem? It might help, since the GM's last post is loooong... that was a little confusing; I wonder if she lost a few paragraph breaks divvying it up.

So let me repost the part of the GM's post that Ecthelion and Glory are involved in, breaking it into easy-to-manage chunks, and then when you are ready to play, you get first dibs at writing Glorfy and I'll add in Ec, or however you like! When we've got it, we can our posts in the real thread, or one person can post both if it works better -- plaza buddies sometimes joint post. (But then you should post so you get the points for it-- I've got plenty. :D)

GM's post, second half -- reaching Land

[sepdet.livejournal.com]

[IIa. Fastforwarding the journey: Land Ho!]

(Wow, long. Let me bold direct character address for easy reading.)

Long they wandered, the elves, spectral and white in the frozen and deadly shifting wasteland of the Grinding Ice. Fingolfin reached out and touched Glorfindel's arm. Though visibility is poor, I can see it...I can see a fire. The bright light of destiny over this hell of ice and deadly mists. Though the fogs....be ever so chill.... I can feel that warmth. Tell me you...feel as it as well.

It gradually began to warm....as the hours slipped by at a snail's pace....then they were there. The moanings began and the crying but they were joyful as they reached the earth of Endor. Many of them cursed Feanor, his sons, and host when they looked upon the remains of the Swanships. Nothing left but blackened pieces; many wept at the sights of scorched swanhead images.

Aredhel he could see making her way off down the coast much to the grumblings of her protective older brother Turgon. When asked to stay put she flatly told her father no; his independant daughter, hand holding tight to Aigronding's hand, yelled for him to hear : I see a tiny dwelling in the distance ! Someone has built a small home close near; we're going to see who is living there; we'll return shortly .! [She's going off to meet Lady Aikari's character, I assume]

Fingolfin sighed but smiled, muttering, Ar-Feiniel. Fingolfin advised Glorfindel to settle Turgon down about Aredhel's hastiness and then the elven high lord cast aside his burdensome raiment for the harsh enviornment they had to cross. He walked slowly and diliberately atop a high pile of shoreland rock, alone; from atop it, he looked over the horizon and saw a land before him that was fair...tendrils of mists wafted. Meanwhile people began to exclaim upon seeing a great luminous light shining above them in the vault of menel ( heaven ). It was silvery-white like the radiance of Telperion and lit the clouds aglow ; Fingolfin trained his gaze above.

[IIb. Just arrived in Middle-earth, same scene: Moonrise]

The clouds passed and the elves of Fingolfin and his children and relatives looked on in amazed wonder at the shining glove that beamed beautiful in the sky. The sweet radiance of the vessel washed over them. It was not without marring though for there were dark spots upon the sphere as if it had been burned just a bit by some type of fire. But it was glorious and beautiful nonetheless. Turgon told Glorfindel, his eyes still upon the sphere, and told him : I will have this as an emblem of my house; I will join it with the star and heart. Fingolfin, softly smiling, had now tears spilling; upon his regal white clothes overlaid with silver maille was a baldric of fine silver; from it he removed his horn of silver. Beautiful and clear it rang out, echoing off the coastland mountains. And many other trumpets joined in harmony. Fingolfin and his own had come to Middle-earth. Idril pointed at the sphere. Something's happening..... It was true....there were bursts of silver in the space of the great shining disc that even the elves could see from their vantage point on the earth.

"It would be a great symbol of your lordship," Glorfindel replied to Turgon.

The joy of the surrounding crowd upon reaching solid earth could not be ignored and the aura that was building could match the great orb that had just risen in the sky. Glorfindel looked to Ecthelion, the captain's silver-gilded armor shone magnificently in the light of thousands upon thousands of stars, almost as if he emanated an inner light himself.

"A gift now shines upon us," the golden-haired elf commented. "This light will lead us to our new fates in this land: An omen for us all in these dark times to remind us we shall overcome all shadows of evil."

*beams* Now you've got it!

Blast it, I went ahead and posted my bit without checking here... I didn't want to be a nag!

But what you have written is splendid! Gather it all up. It works beautifully with what I've written, and it will fit right in. Go play. :) I'm so glad you're inspired!
