Deep in the Forest

When had she last moved from this young wood? The young trees here were glad of her guidance and had formed around her a small forest. It was quiet and orderly; she had sung among them for many years. Yet sometimes she took a notion to move. Always before she dismissed the thought, but perhaps it was time to find others of her kind again.

Fimbrethil stepped from the forest eaves, and was startled. One of those small creatures who lived in the area ran from her, yelling. They were such hasty little things.

Hee! That's a delightful image. This made me smile.

I love this so much. I'd seen the picture and thought it beautiful, your drabble uses it perfectly.

And thus one Entwife has been found and will be the foundation of tall tales and nightmares for years to come. Lovely!

Oh, an Entwife! How exciting! (Love the photo, too, by the way!) I bet it was hard to cut down to drabble size - I'd love to see a longer piece based on this!

So cute! I really love a well-formed and honed drabble and this one gets it just exactly right.

Lovely - it goes so well with the picture, too.

Love it! This is great.

Tha't's an awesome gapfiller!

Nice job on putting a lot into a mere 100 words. An ent-wife in the Shire, what a great concept. Hope she sticks around.

What a cute little story and a wonderful response to the prompt :)

Fimbrethil! :D I loved this, wonderful job capturing her thoughts!

I love this! So they have seen Entwives in the shire! Poor Hal. That would be terrifying.

This deserves a follow up--Merry and Pippin, telling stories surrounded by Sam's family, and mentioning the Entwives part of their tale of Treebeard. Give poor Hal a little understanding on what he saw. Otherwise people will think he's crazy as a Took. ;-)

Longer than a drabble would have taken the magic and mystery away. Entwives! Wow! Beautiful use of the photo.

So we know where at least one Entwife went. Poor Hal, what a fright that was.

[huinare.livejournal.com]

That was delightful. I like the idea that Fimbrethil herself was the "giant" Hal saw.

I love this!
