Summary: The rain falls in Lorien
Creator's notes: This is my first-ever posted fic... I hope you like it

The rain comes even to Lothlorien.

Fat droplets roll down the mallorn boughs and pool on the forest floor below. The water wells up through the stately carpet of fallen leaves. One yellow leaf delicately rises, then another, then ten and twenty and a thousand. The rivulets lead them on a merry dance among the silver roots. They whirl away as if eager to see the rest of the Golden Wood.

A leaf (and ten, and twenty) will be swept into the river. It will drift down to the Anduin, to Rohan or Gondor; a golden sentinel of the Dreamflower. And thus, a little magic escapes into the world of Men.
