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!
