This chapter is most likely rated T. Part 2/3 of a miniseries.
This is, perhaps, something that a minstrel, such as Lindir, would sing. It wouldn't be sung in Mirkwood, though, for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to separate the stanzas; however, it shouldn't really matter. I hope you enjoy it.
#35- Let's Play a Game
With terror, she ran.
Laughing, they chased.
Together partook in
A primeval race
The dark, twisted trees
Once friendly, betrayed
Her once-happy step
To those minds so depraved
She begged them for mercy
Some sort of respite
From this morbid game
Which brought them delight
But alas! Her cries
Soon faded away
As the fair white stars
Fade soft into day
And all that was left
Was her bones and her name
And their coarse, ghastly laughter-
"Come. Let's play a game."
I hope that this wasn't too disturbing. I don't want you all to get scared off! Please review and let me know what you think!
