B2MeM Challenge: O-64, Crossover1 (with one of Tolkien's other books); Hobbits, "The Lockholes" Fatty woke up feeling strangely refreshed. He had not had one of those dreams since he was a very young child; he never talked about those dreams, but they had always felt so real. He had been a child again, playing in a garden of silver and grey and white, under stars brighter than he'd ever seen before, but the only colour to be seen was a large blue and green moon... All those friends of his childhood whom he most missed were there: Frodo, Merry, Pippin—even Folco, which should have made him melancholy, but did not. They played and romped and leapt high in the air. They were being watched over by an old Man, who looked rather like Gandalf, but was not quite—and one who seemed remarkably like an Elf—but somehow Fatty knew he was not, he was more… Even though he lay in filth on a hard dirt floor, his good mood remained, and he felt so hopeful. Something good was going to happen; these evil Men and their Lockholes could not endure. There was still beauty in the world outside these walls and high beyond the reach of the Ruffians, or even the Great Enemy who had been searching for Frodo. He drifted once more into sleep. Lórien looked down at the peaceful smile on the face of the dreamer, and then to the one who sat beside him. "Thank you!" The Man-in-the-Moon chuckled. "My garden is usually for children; adults cannot usually find their way here. But this one has a valiant spirit and a good heart and a great need to remember more innocent days…he is more than welcome." |
