Our April/May prompt uses the source material directly for inspiration. Choose any of the following quotes as inspiration for your story.
1. From The Silmarillion:
“the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.”
2. From The Hobbit: “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
3. From The Lord of the Rings: “All’s well as ends Better!”
What thoughts and feelings do these quotes inspire? They may come from different books and from different characters, but they can encompass many moments from Tolkien’s legendarium.
The tales of Beleriand may have inspired song but so did the events of the Last Alliance, the search for the Entwives, the destruction on the One ring, the ride of the Rohirrim.
Many characters find something on their adventures—it could be an object but sometimes it’s a secret, unexpected information, or even something they learn about themselves.
Perhaps you would like to write about the moments those words reference? What did Mandos think of Fëanor’s words? Fingolfin? The Noldor gathered in that place?
There is no requirement to use the quote directly in your story but you are free to do so, if you like.
We are excited to read your submissions! Please email your stories to teitho.contest@gmail.com by April 30!
