Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, I just adore them to pieces.
Author's Note: I got lazy again. I don't want to translate it all into Sindarin. To be honest, I think that's why it takes me so long to post these pieces. It's quicker to write them by hand then type them up then it is to translate all the dialogue, lol. However, there will be certain pieces that I do Sindarin only dialogue in... just not ones that are heavy in speaking... or this one because it's literally late and I have to go to work in the morning.
Noro... Noro... Noro...
Usually, he allowed other to find the game… usually.
Legede insisted on tracking through the thick boughs and bush… usually, he himself simply waited in his tent.
Today was not, however, usual.
With a small hunting party and little game to find, Thranduil knelt high within a large oak, his usual robes having been replaced by a deep cranberry jerking with dark green leggings. The king's swords were nowhere to be seen… just a simply knife… and bow with quiver. Already strung, the bow remained in the Elvenking's hand, his blue eyes focused intently upon a shape far in the distance.
The large grey rabbit dashed into the clearing beneath one tree and, without a single sound, Thranduil notched arrow to the string. His aim was, sadly, not as sure as it had been in days long past… but, at such close range, missing was nigh impossible for any Elf. He prepared himself, ready for that kill… when suddenly the rabbit's eyes went up, locking onto the Elvenking's blue gaze.
For a brief moment, it seemed to the blond, that there was but a single thought running through the creature's mind… "Run… Run… Run…"
Before the notion could ever be acted upon however, the Elf's arrow flew, straight and true.
Leaping from the tree, Thranduil sighed. It seemed like rabbit stew was on the menu yet again this night.
END
Elvish Translations:
Noro... Noro... Noro... = Run... Run... Run...
Author's Notes:
- Because these are tiny drabbles, I will NOT be doing Muse Moments for each chapter.
- I was inspired to do these by Nyx Thranduilion who is also doing them. The original 100-drabbles challenge is in the invention of NirCele.
- All 100 of my drabbles will be Thranduil related... WEE!
- None of my drabbles will be in any sort of chronological order.
