I saw your artwork and just couldn't help myself. This drabble practically wrote itself. Enjoy.
Too Close - by Aeärwen
“We have come too far south, my King,” Galion said, halting his horse. “The air grows dark and heavy.”
Thranduil said nothing, but kept moving forward with a frown. “We know this place well, old friend, and yet, not at all anymore.”
Galion twisted left and then right. “Have we been here before often enough to know it?”
“Yes. Long ago, it was the Emyn Duir, remember? No more...”
“Indeed.”
Together they rode slowly until they could finally see what was ahead. Thranduil shuddered at the sight. “You are right, Galion. We have come far too close to Dol Guldur.”
