I was on a roll! I have done around 730 word and I think it finishes the chapter — although I will only be sure when I read it back in the morning.
This is towards the end of the chapter. The exploration of the new lands that the Valar have opened up for the Wood elves is continuing;
“I feel that this is a place where my Lord Adar would be happy,” he said.
Ithilienne recognised that this was the Prince of Eryn Lasgalen speaking of The King, not just Legolas speaking of his father.
“And this land, and these trees, would welcome him joyously. I feel as if they welcome me as his son, rather than as their new lord.”
Well that was new. He had never said anything like that before.
“There is still so much we have not seen, but this would be the right place for my Lord Adar to build his new home I think, and others can explore further as the craving to go touches them.
“For myself and my own folk, the land we passed through to reach this point calls me back, and I think we should begin there. Especially as Gimli tells me there are metal deposits close by so that we would not need to rely on the Noldorin miners."
