My thanks go to Anie, who is always there to give a hand and helped me shape these up.


3. Of Balrogs

A storm was brewing on Glorfindel's face. And every time his gaze fell on the small arrow in his hands, a thunder could almost be seen in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he pictured himself relaxing in his study, a sparkling fire in his hearth and the beautiful vista from his balcony. Shortly before reaching his door, though, a young elven scribe passed him by, almost breaking at a run at his sight.

An elegant eyebrow shot skywards in surprise.

A few moments later, an elven wail echoed across Imladris' halls.

"Where is a Balrog when you need one?"
