All Hobbits Share A Love Of Things That Grow
A Drabble
“Ride for ruin! Ride now!”
And forth charged the riders of Rohan! Spear and horse clashed into the line of cowering orcs, stretching out all across the horizon. Glorious sunlight streamed through the breaks in the clouds; breaks ushered forth by the might and honor of men.
Shields splintered and swords clashed below the white walls of Minas Tirith. It was a sword day that day when the red sun rose over the Fields of Pelennor!
“Dinner!”
“But Mom, the Nazgûl come!”
“They will still be there after dinner,”
“...bu–”
“No buts! Dinner first.”
Fine, Eomer needed a break anyway…

A/N:
The best stories are the ones you have to explain right? I spent way too much of my childhood recreating various battles from The Lord of the Rings with whatever toys I could get my hands on. I had an entire Lego mock-up of the Pelennor (not accurate nor to scale) that saw almost continuous use. I’m in the process of helping my parents downsize and have dug up quite a few good memories. Given how much I loathe fantasy set pieces, knights, battles, and heroic charges, those activites clearly had no impact on me...None whatsoever...
