altarielThe number called was: I22
My cards and prompts were:
Economy: Climate Change
Write what you know: A character you dislike – what might you have in common
Alternate Viewpoint: "A Thief in the Night" (from The Hobbit)
The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away
In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.
Job 1: 22
God lifted up an island from beneath the waves, as a gift for the children, to live at last in peace and harmony. And God and the children thought that this was good.
But children will be children – and love, sometimes, turns out to be conditional. So when the children grew (as children must), and tested the boundaries (as children do), and said ‘no’ (as children will), God was minded to reconsider the gift.
And God broke the world, which sent the wave – and the cries of the righteous and unrighteous alike were drowned out by its vengefulness and fury.
You pays your money and you takes your chances
On balance, I decided I wasn’t too disappointed about the death of the dragon. Fiery bolts from overhead might well come in handy when the invasion of Eriador is underway, but the thing you have to remember about dragons is that they’re not entirely on your side. They burn through orc armies as quickly as they do those of your enemies, and while orcs won’t be hard to come by, I prefer some elegance to proceedings.
Besides, I had bigger fish to fry. Elvish fish. One glimpse of the Arkenstone and Thranduil was slavering. This is going to be easy.
