tolkien100Title: Too Much – Excesses challenge
Author: Kortirion
Word Count: 100
Characters/Work: Aragorn: Movieverse
Adult Content/Pairing: None
Disclaimer: He spoke, I wrote, but JRR owns the stories.
Author Notes: It’s nothing you don’t know already, so no new insights I’m afraid – just something that arrived about 3am this morning.
The long years of my life have been spent in watching. I have seen too much pain, too much regret and far too many good lives lost. It is my duty to lead - what can I tell them? How do you give hope to the hopeless? They face me, with fear, with grim determination, with the dull eyes of those already resigned to death. If the Shadow should prove too much…
No. I will not admit defeat. I will fight. They will fight. Hope I am, hope I will be.
Aragorn turned; a bright flame in the darkness.
“For Frodo!”

Though Elrond as High King sort of rates drabbling thoughts - mmmm, we'll see!

Date: 2004-09-29 11:17 am (UTC)Galadriel an Celeborn are about second cousins once removed, so just far enough away that they could marry.
The non-Thingol branch of Elrond's family are decended from Galadriel's grand daddy, and Celeborn is Thingol great nephew, making him Elrond's distant cousin.
Thranduil doesn't appear to be any relation to any of them though, so Legsy isn't part of the big happy family.
Thranduil calls himself a king, whaen all he rules is a bunch of wood elves in Rhovanion. Elrond, who calls himself only a 'lord', could claim kingship over all the Eldar in Middle Earth.
