Disclaimer: I do own this original character but I do not own Middle Earth or Tolkien’s characters, nor do I profit from using them.
Warnings: None

Author’s Note: Jenny wanted a story about Oropher and Cook, so I decided to give her a month’s worth of them.
Spoilers: For the stories of Oropher and Thranduil, yes.
Summary: Every day, I will tell a little of the story of Bellothia, cook for the house of Oropher.
~~~
They had traveled several weeks and had arrived in a beautiful green woods. They made camp, Oropher, his family and a few dozen other elves who’d begun to follow them as they’d trekked away from the Mouths of Sirion to find their own lands. Most of the followers were Silvan elves or ‘wood elves’ as the elitist Noldor called them. Cirdan had simply called them elves as did Oropher.
Oropher and Thranduil began exploring the surrounding area as well as hunting game for their cookfires. The wood was vast and filled with all sorts of animals and plants.
“Father, come! Look at the caves! They look a little like out home in Doriath.” Thranduil had found a huge network of caves in a craggy hilled area.
Oropher could see how they could expand and build in the caves to make them a very fine dwelling. He would live there with his household. Several of the Silvan elves who’d come with them had asked if he would like to be their chieftan, as they referred to him. He had simply smiled and nodded.
With a forest this size, they would have plenty of everything they needed and room to grow as well. That evening as they all ate food cooked in huge iron pots over the campfire, he told his friends of their new land, told them of his dreams for a beautiful home isolated from the troubles of the Noldor.
“We shall call it Greenwood the Great, our new home.”
