This drabble story is based off the prompt that came from the First Sentence Exchange Prompt Challenge. It was very interesting, so I decided to challenge myself a little more by doing the optional challenge bonus. Look up the Prompt Challenge under forums to find out what it is...
It was snowing when it happened.
Perhaps if Glorfindel hadn't bounced cheerfully into Erestor's office with snow clumped in his golden hair it wouldn't have happened. Perhaps if Glorfindel hadn't exictedly begun talking about the clear, cold day and the perfect snowfall for a friendly fight in the outdoors, it wouldn't have happened.
Perhaps if Erestor hadn't reluctantly agreed to go out there with him and join Elrond and his family in a snowball fight, it wouldn't have happened.
Perhaps...perhaps if, later, Erestor hadn't realized the time and rushed back to the meeting he was supposed to have...perhaps it wouldn't have happened then.
But all of those things did happen, and what occured would change Glorfindel's, the Peredhil's, and most importantly, Erestor's, lives forever.
