Hi Yerniel, we have chatted several times over in the Language Forum. Good to hear that you are interested in Fan Fiction. I need all the help I can get! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The basis of our story is that Ainu Alassë and her sister, Laurië Vanima (my 16 yr old cousin), Lerin Sapphire-eye, a dwarf (my 11 yr old cousin), Merimac and Marmadoc Underhill, hobbits (Also my cousins, age 12 and almost 12) will be in the quest to push Morgoth/Melkor to his defeat in Valinor. I will stay true to Tolkien and have Tulkas and Turin defeat him, but I am taking a bit of creative license and loosing him from the Void to reak havoc on Middle Earth before he goes to judgement and defeat.
Quote:
Prophecy of The Last Battle
Thus spake Mandos in prophecy, when the Gods sat in judgement in Valinor and the rumour of his word was whispered among all the Elves of the West.
"When the world is old and the Powers grow weary, then Morgoth, seeing that the guard sleepeth, shall come back through the Door of the Night out of the timeless void ; and he shall destroy the Sun and the Moon.
But Earendil shall descend upon him as a white and searing flame and drive him from the airs. Then shall the Last Battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day, Tulkas shall strive with Morgoth, and on his right hand shall be Eonwë, and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, coming from the halls of Mandos; and the Black Sword of Turin shall deal unto Morgoth his death and final end; and so shall the children of Hurin and all Men be avenged.
Thereafter shall Earth be broken and remade, and the Silmarils shall be recovered out of Air and Earth and Sea; for Earendil shall descend and surrender that flame which he hath had in keeping. Then Fëanor shall take the Three Jewels and bear them to Yavanna Palurien; and she will break them and with their fire rekindle the Two Trees, and a great light shall come forth. And the mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Gods will grow young again, and the Elves awake and all their dead arise, and the purpose of Iluvatar be fulfilled concerning them.
But of Men in that day the prophecy of Mandos doth not speak, and no Man it names, save Turin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar.
Thus everyting dies
but only mortals die forever
the others watch and wait
eternally in the shadows.

The reason that it looks like a telling of history, is that right now, I am writing Alassë and Laurië's family history, so as to prove their right to be a part of the battle, not a Mary-Sue or a Larry Lou - read the thread in the Freestyle room. We will not actually fight Morgoth in any way, just his army.
Each character will have to "prove" his family line in battle to show that they are "true" warriors. They will not just have warriors in the family, but they will have to have "righteousness of heart", each one must pass the test that is put in front of them where they struggle with the decision of right or wrong. The choice will not be easy, some will falter at first, then prove righteous, and some will start off true, then falter along the way.
After the first few chapters, dialouge will begin, as Alassë and Laurië are born. Then a few chapters later, Lerin is introduced. His character accompanied Merimac and Marmadoc's grandfather on a quest, which we haven't decided yet. A little later, we will introduce the hobbits. We will discuss their life in Tuckbourgh, interact with friends and neighbors. Then in 56 7th Age, the team meets up somehow(???). Then in 57, we set out to battle.
I don't know how all this will work in the end, because it is a joint venture of 4 other people. I do hope that we will be at least able to complete it and make some sense out of what we write. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
BTW, the main reason I am doing this is for the boys. The 11 yr old(Lerin) is in 5th grade and reads at a 1st grade level. The other two, the 12 yr old is his brother (Marimac), pick on him a lot. The boys do not have good conflict resolution skills, nor act their age. The two brothers have no mother, she left when they were 5 and 6 respectfully. She now lives over 300 miles away from them and only calls them every 4 months or so. She hasn't seen them in 2 yrs nearly. I have become a second mom to them. Their dad is illiterate and doesn't spend time with them. These two are primarily left on there own to fend for themselves.
