My contribution to HASA's drabbling of The Return of the King
The Field of Cormallen
The West still withstood the waves of darkness eagles heralded the hour of doom stormwinds scattered the Shadow's grasp Ringbearers fell wreathed in fire engulfed in torment of earth's re-forging. In Gondor's garden graceful Ithilien sweet air breathed life after ash's choking falling waters wakened the dead healed beyond hope by the hand of the King. Spring-turf mound now served as throne yet he knelt before them bareheaded bade all praise the Pheriannath. This flame-flower ring fellowship renewed. Overflowing with gladness the Great River bore them back from the Gate of blackest despair to May's blossoming City at Sun's rising.

Author's note: The Field of Cormallen means 'golden circle' and was named for the culumalda trees that grew there. Cul- 'golden-red'
