Fourth

To hear the Elves tell it, there was nothing that Men knew or built or wrought before some long-eared busybody deigned to intervene. There is no art they will concede us priority – not brewing or baking, not spinning nor weaving. According to them even the fruits of fields and orchards came to humankind at second-hand. Before the Elves we must have been naked and hungry, wandering in the dark alone. That is, if you believe the Elves.

There have been times when an Elf has strayed into our hands. Good times. There are lessons that I can teach to Elves, too.

Brrrr!! Whoa, this one's intense! Love it, love it.

Extremely inelegant feedback ahoy

Because they may have histories and reasons and things they care about, but they're also bad mofos, yes they are.

What you say in 100 words never ceases to amaze me.

eeeeek! Bad ringwraith, very bad!

Interesting, to consider the often strange origins of violence; and how like a ruler of Men to take the insult of pride as more offensive than any attack on things physical.

You are simply amazing.

Creepy. It makes me think of Dubya for some reason. ;)

Gah, how intense. Effing brilliant, as well.

B... brava.

That's very good. I can sort of relate to that as well. It can't always have been fun to play second fiddle to those hoity-toity elves.

Oooh, the arrogance! Chilling stuff.

I've been enjoying these without commenting. (Too damn busy - again.) When they are all done I am going to arrange them in a series of least-absorbed-by-the-Ring to most-absorbed-by-the-Ring. While each king was a different person, with a different reason, each is going the same unhappy road. I wonder how distinguishable they ended up, even to themselves.

Boo! Hiss! Evil wraith! I shudder to think of even one elf falling into their hands. Chillingly well done, m'dear!
