“The Lonely Mountain”

The fifth of eleven new watercolours depicting places in Middle-earth and Númenor for an upcoming book.

[smaugthcgolden]

A Sindarin elf of the woodland realm of Mirkwood, Legolas was the son of the Elven King, Thranduil. His birthdate is unknown, as are his earliest exploits. His most notable role is the part he played in the War of the Ring, during which he represented the Elven in the Fellowship of the Ring. His Elven abilities, such as superior sight and hearing, lightness of foot, and skilled archery, were invaluable to his eight companions.

“Excuse me… I reek?” Lip curling indignantly, Loki momentarily forgot the danger inherent in his position and he straightened, hands braced on his hips. “Your eloquence disarms me. However shall I resist spilling all of my deepest secrets?”

One great gleaming eye was fixed unerringly on him, that regard almost a tactile thing, and Loki frowned, aware the dragon had not necessarily been rude, at least as he would likely recognize it. In manner, he was nothing as Loki would have expected, thus far. The stories he had been told painted a history of woe, fire and desolation. There was nothing of a creature who spoke of matters beyond his hoard, and in truth he was somewhat disarmed by the interest shown by such a creature of legend. Even to one who lived amongst the gods.

He did not, however, allow his guard to fall for even a moment.

“You request a boon of me. I am already aware of your name, yet you wish to discover mine. I will offer you this without need for recompense: I am no Man, and there are none on this star who are my like.”

  “... Hmmm... Forgive me, but what I meant to say is that you smell pleasant. This familiarity I speak of intrigues me enough.” His eyes glowed briefly, already thinking of sparing this one from his flame, and was so interested in this one. To hear of a single hint that he was something different had the dragon’s only peaking further with said interest. “Not a man? Not of this--...?” Smaug had a moment to realize something more, and such wording had his thoughts reeling in ways they had not in centuries.

  “Truly, a star traveler? That is almost unbelievable, and yet... I have heard tales of those far beyond this world, which stretched past even my own years of longevity.” His tail rose up, and thumped hard against the golden piles, coins and trinkets spilling from his ruckus. A chuckle left him, dark and rumbling. “How I wish to understand... You amuse me. Not many can claim they have, or live to say so to another...”

With a motion that made more gold shift as he positioned himself differently, taloned fingers resting now against the side of his snout, winged appendage draping over several piles of treasure. He stared down at the other as some of his excitement showed over his scaled face. The dragon could not help to notice the features of this traveler were so different, almost as alluring as the light he could see within. It was enough to keep his mind away from thinking this was just some thief to steal his wealth.

  “Will your secretive mouth tell me why you are here, then? Or is that too much to ask... This is my Kingdom, you know. I believe I have a right to find out the reasoning of possible intruders.”

OPEN RP | Muse: Thranduil

It was just as he feared. The darkness that he had been trying to keep away from his lands, from his people, it was slowly approaching. Every day did it draw closer, and he could feel the walls of his very chambers bend with a terrible ache. The winds above were harsher, and the trees shook and swayed. Smoke was more prominent, and the scent of it filled their lungs whenever they stepped outside their walls.

  “This cannot be...”

  “What sort? An odd question to ask.” Cautious eyes never leaving the massive creature, he kept his distance, leaning back against the cliff facing with a studied casualness, arms crossed over his chest. It– he– spoke eloquently; his accent in the Alltongue ever-so-slightly alien, the deep rumble of it felt through the stone beneath Loki’s feet.

As the god had said, this was not his first visit to Arda, and he knew very well who this was, or at least who he had been in another World. Those memories of his last journey here still ached; the wounds within him unhealed despite the years that had passed since their infliction. “Can you not trust the evidence of your own eyes?”

  “... Hmmmm...” An inhaled, long breath, taking in this one’s scent, even from this distance. It was quite a beautiful one, too, which had him wonder all the more where this one came from. For it was so unlike much else he has ever smelled, and the dragon lowered his massive head, one golden eye looking directly at the other as he loomed closer to his being, entertaining the question with some short moment of thought.

  “Unfortunately, I cannot... You reek of familiarity, and yet it eludes me; the answer. Who are you? And where do you come from?” He was not feeling like putting on some threatening display, as simple talk could get him what he wanted, and his curiosity burned brighter to know. Names were powerful, and to have it with his immense knowledge, perhaps it could be useful to him. “You appear as though you are of man, but your soul says otherwise... What an interesting light...”

sovereignofdeceit asked:

“𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘴. 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺."  (Any muse you wish <3)

The great wyrm sat there to ponder these words from the one below, and how beautiful did it sound. Though, he was not one to really care for much else beyond his hoard, and yet so many plots and schemes kept coming his way; were it from The One, or others. This individual seemed quite different from the rest, and his golden hues locked onto the other.

For once, his anger and festering need to protect his treasure was on hold, and a slight inkling of amusement sparkled in his fierce gaze. This difference was noticeable, but only to the keenest of senses, and his were the best of all kind and species. There was a light within this one, of the color he could not perceive, but a presence that felt oddly so familiar, yet far. This is what staved off the fires that burned so heavily in his chest.

  “So, you are a traveler? What sort of that might you be, I wonder?”

Horror/Angst Sentence Starters

Friend and I always want more angsty/dark starter memes so we decided to make our own! May add more later.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost?“ 

“Heh, what’s the matter…scared?“ 

“What this? You’re shaking? How pathetic.“ 

"You’re practically squirming. Do I frighten you that much?" 

"I thought you said you weren’t scared?" 

"Did you really think that you could just forget about it, like nothing ever happened?" 

"You know that this is all your fault." 

"No one can save you now. You’re mine." 

"You will do what I say, or else…" 

"You’re weak. You always were." 

"Aw, you poor thing…" 

"Heh, are you…crying?" 

"Look at how pathetic you’ve become…" 

"Don’t let anyone see you cry. Heh… Wouldn’t want that embarrassment, would we?" 

"I wonder how many people know that dirty little secret of yours." 

"Don’t worry, this won’t hurt…much." 

"How high is your tolerance for pain? Well, I suppose I’ll know when you start screaming." 

"That pained expression on your face is so delicious." 

"Heh, must be hard to stand when you’re bleeding so badly."
