Part Thirteen
Kitchen Wisdom
Author: alexcat
Type: Gen.
Rating: PG
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
Characters: Oropher, Thranduil, Legolas, Oropher’s wife, Thranduil’s wife, Legolas, Original female character, Bellothia
Archive: Ao3, OEAM, Alex’s Story Book
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.
~~~
No one but Oropher and Gil-galad knew that the army of the Green Wood would attack early on purpose. They were the diversion that allowed the other armies to go for Sauron himself.
The plan worked brilliantly but all would still have been lost had Isildur not cut the One Ring from the hand of the Sauron. Gil-galad fell. Elendil fell. Elves, men and dwarves fell.
None of that mattered to Thranduil.
His father died as well. A single wound to his heart felled him. Thranduil fell to his knees in the dirt and cried out in anguish. He had lost his wife and his father. He gathered what was left of their army, retrieved his father’s body and left the plain for the Green wood.
Bell was among the survivors but her husband was not. He had died beside his king. She found his horse and put him across its back, leading the horse as she followed her king from the field. The elves of the Green Wood carried as many of their dead home as they could find.
It was solemn procession that left that day, not to be seen in Middle Earth for many years to come.
