All Gold

Emyn Arnen, F.A. 5

He was standing by our Elf-friend at the far end of the garden. Absolutely and completely no doubt about it, this was—

“A giant!” gasped Bron.

“Stupid! He’s not as tall as Papa!”

“But his beard!”

“He’s hardly as tall as you!”

There was lots of grown-up talk about metal and gates and things, but there were toys for both of us too, golden toys with keys and wheels that whirred. Bron got an eagle that flew. I got a dragon that puffed and roared. And there was a sun-and-moon-twisting-thing which didn’t make sense until much later when Léof arrived.

I did a splendid job of making it pretty obscure! (Mostly I wanted to call a drabble "All Gold" having had "Black Magic"...)

"All Gold" and nothing about chocolate? Is there chocolate in Middle Earth? Or would that be another case of Denethor chewing tomatoes?

There is indeed chocolate in Middle-earth. I have written of its powers and its vital role in the success of The Quest in an account covering an episode in the Walkers' journey which, for unfathomable reasons, JRRT neglected to include. May be found at FFN under my FFN nom de plumage...

If the story is about chocolate, wouldn't that be an om nom nom de plume? ;-) (I don't think I know what your FFN name is, actually.)

Hmmm. Perhaps "a nummy plum"? (Starting to sound a bit Gilbert & Sullivan here...)

To my surprise, it appears we've never corresponded directly. However, you know me online from a longstanding Yahoo group. And I think I've figured out how to send you my FFN name privately and have done so just now, I hope. The fic in question features Gimli as the hero. Enjoy!

Hmm, that private message hasn't arrived - try again? Or else my email address is: umm10 AT yahoo DOT co DOT uk
