If you have ever seen a dragon in a pinch, you will realize that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-granduncle Bullroarer, who was so huge (for a hobbit) that he could ride a horse. He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Gol-firnbul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment.

Across Arda's Ages by Rhyselle
For NaQuaWriMo (National Quality Writing Month) this year, I am trying to continue my past practice of writing true drabbles set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Arda. These will span the scope of his creation, from the Timeless Halls where Eru dwells, through the Ages until the Dagor Dagorath--the Final Battle which precedes the renewal of Arda at the end of time, as the muse directs. UPDATED: #30 - Succession (TA 3019, August, Edoras, Rohan).
