B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: Poisonous/Venomous things, Person vs. Nature and B12
Format: Drabble
Genre: Sci-Fi
Rating: General
Warnings: Choose Not to Warn
Characters: Elves of Mirkwood
Creator’s Notes: Dune/Middle-earth Sci Fi Crossover inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune. Start of a WIP(daydreaming), where the realms/cities/regions in Middle-earth are planets, with Mirkwood a power like Arrakis.
Summary: Mirkwood warriors; always impressive.

As the Elven contingency from Mirkwood exited their ship, a murmur ran through the waiting delegates at their appearance. None of the flowing, soft robes worn by the Lords and Ladies from the other Elven worlds.

The Mirkwood Lords marched past in boiled leathers; hard black and shining like carapaces; their demeanor haughty and cold. Ever ready for battle. It was common knowledge that the Weevere blades of Mirkwood were made from the fangs of giant spiders and stained with their venom.

A swift and silent death delivered by beautiful killers.

I don't know Dune, but I found this drabble fascinating :) You don't mess with Mirkwood elves!

They are fierce! So glad you liked this little tidbit.
P.s. Dune is well worth a read. 😄

OMG, so like Arrakis and the stillsuits. Weapons from spider fangs was inspired!

Thank you so much!! The relationship between the spiders and Mirkwood is pretty important, just like the worms on Arrakis.
