Part Eight

Thranduil married on the day before his father’s army set out to join the march to Barad-dûr. His new wife was a lovely Silvan elf, the daughter of one of the chieftans who had asked Oropher to bring them under his rule when he moved into the Green Wood.

Lúthwen was her name.

She was the kindest, gentlest woman he’d ever met. He’d fallen in love with her the moment he saw her, but she had taken a while to convince. Five years. She had put him off for five years. It was not a wait that he minded at all if she could be his in the end.

Now he was going to war in one day.

The elves of the Green Wood danced and celebrated the wedding until the wee hours. Many knew it would be a long time before they saw their loved ones again.

Thranduil and Lúthwen slipped away sometime after midnight and did not come out of their apartments until the sun rose high in the sky.

Lúthwen cried when she watched him leave, wishing she had told him to hurry home to his new child, who would be born while he was at war.
