The first portal 1. A world worn thin

Villa Elauria was found on top of a great white cliff that soared straight up as if to challenge the moons themselves. On sweet summer nights, she was a dwelling of shadows, nothing moved in her hundred rooms but a drift of curtain at a window and halfway along the gallery, the gilt hand of the grandfather clock. The waterside gate, always hung with a row of rusting iron implements, creaked softly in the sultry stirring of the air. When the mist rose from the ground and gathered around the silvered lily pond where the frogs sang, counterpointed by the hiss of the crickets, the night smelled wonderfully of briar roses. This was a place and these were hours where magic was borne about easy, sliding along smoothly like shimmering soap bubbles on the clear ice of a frozen lake, if a frozen lake may exit in the most clement part of summer. Later, one would learn, it had to do with how thin the patch of reality was here, a worn area like the elbow of a loved old cardigan, where the linkers

Enemy of Gondor 1 - The snatch

NÚMENÓR, UMBAR Mitikas of Keratorion caught sight of himself through the vehicle's oblong side mirror, hazel eyes beneamartialth a too long, grizzled fringe staring back at him, as he for the millionth time wondered what he was doing here. Helping Allyra, was the obvious reply, however how the other Istari had talked him into this insanity was something of a mystery. Then again, Allyra had a certain power over him. It was more than just sexual, still less than love. They had been involved in so many adventures together that it was only natural that they had been developing an inimitable kind of affection for each other. As an Istar

The riddle of the Labyrinth 1.Kisses and strange

The riddle of the Labyrinth Inspired somehow by the movie Labyrinth featuring David Bowie as the daemon king Jareth. But what started out as a mere fanfic soon became something else, more original. But I still kept Sarah and Jareth as a sentimental gesture to what this one once was, even if so much else, including both their roles, is changed. 1. Kisses and strange artefacts Everything felt smooth, soft and calm in the orange light of the sinking sun. The Island of Alozzia stretched out across the sea like a sea lion sunning itself on the rocks. It was hilly and green with great rounded boulders jutting up through the lush jungles and whit

The shade of the Argonaths part 1 - Nerve Centre

The shade of the Argonaths NB: This is not your everyday LOTR fanfic but a kind of experiment. It takes place about 2000 years after the demise of Sauron, and Middle Earth has changed beyond recognition. At the place where the Argonath statues still stand lies now the metropolis of Sarmaltar housing 11 billion of people. One of them is the historian and archeologist Narheda, working on her thesis... 1. Nerve Centre The rain was wetting the large train windows like so many rolling tears and distorting the sight of the city outside, turning all the lamps and lights into a multi coloured limbo of glittering confetti as the darkness of the dus

Marital arts part 1 - The Elven High Court

Orkid of Saphirion was standing by the wheel of his beautifully sleek ship Green Eyed Mermaid as it was heading across the glittering Atlantic, snow white sails billowing in the wind, the steam cutting trough the water like a knife trough butter. It was a wonderful day for sailing, a strong, warm and salt-smelling meltemi was blowing from behind with a stearboard tilt, the sun was shining happily from the clearest of skies and only some tiny and fluffy little white clouds could be seen by the horizon. A pack of glistening gray dolphins had taken up following his ship, jumping in the waves and spraying high in the air as they where whisteling

Queen in her heart 1. Evanescence

Queen in her heart A divine saga in seven parts "I love you, my strong and brave Queen", he whispered. "Always will. Be careful!" His beautiful, blue eyes held on to hers, but when she reached out to touch his face, he was gone, and the whirling mists closed around her. 1. Evanescence Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year everyone! Taking a small step back, sharp stiletto heel cracking the thin crust of ice beneath, she regarded the candle-lit scene in front of her while grabbing the fur cape, pulling it tighter over her shoulders against the cold midwinter night. Her friends. Gathered at the terrace to her large penthouse suite

For Old Time's Sake - 1. Encounter

Long, slender hands with silver-painted nails were holding on to the steam of a glass with white wine, large and almond-shaped dark-brown eyes shadowed by thick lashes regarding how the light bounced off the liquid as she slowly spun the flute around with gentle hands. The inertia of the wine was causing intricate effects of light and shadows on the dark wood of the bar desk and upon her pale, slightly olive-skinned hands. She had been looking at that glass now for a while, with melancholy tainting the beauty of her eyes, but hardly taken a sip of the wine. Looking at it but not quite seeing since her mind was wandering, plowing through tons
