DON'T OWN SO DON'T SUE. I GET NO MONEY FROM THIS.
This is my first LOTR fic that I've posted, please review!
The verse is meant to be in a different font but it wouldn't upload that way. Just pretend that it is in another font so that they can't understand it.
PrologueOloriel stepped back from the picture she had just finished and put the paintbrush down. The picture showed five girls, each wearing a different coloured dress. The five of them were arranged around a verse of writing, in a language she did not know. Oloriel had just written it, not knowing what it meant or how she had known what to write. It just seemed to flow out of the quill.
The picture had come to her during the night. The five girls, it seemed, would have control over the elements - over fire, earth, air, water and spirit. During her vision she had seen them using the elements against a large host of Orcs. She had also seen them arriving in Rivendell; she just did not know when it would be. Oloriel sighed as she looked at the verse again; maybe she would be able to find someone who knew what it meant.
To Burn the Wicked,
To Drown the Evil,
Mountains will shake,
Cities will fall,
Souls will be Damned,
Five there will be.
And Five shall come.
In Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Spirit,
In the Third Age of the Sun.
Fifty-five before three thousand, and then seventeen more;
Five shall come.
"It is an interesting picture."
Oloriel jumped at the sound of the voice and turned to see who it was.
"Lord Elrond," she bowed her head in greeting.
"What does the text mean?" he inquired as he came closer to the picture.
"I do not know," Oloriel turned back to the picture, "it came to me during the night. I was thinking of showing it to Lord Erestor, he might recognise it."
"Did you vision show anything else?"
"They would control the elements."
"The elements?" he repeated quietly; "People have come before and have not been able to control them. Are you certain?"
Oloriel nodded. "They use their powers against a large host of Orcs."
"Orcs?"
"Would others have had visions that reveal slightly more about this?" Oloriel turned to face him.
"They might have."
"Maybe when the girls come they will know what the text says."
"Until then, we can only wait," Elrond stated before he turned and left the room.
