Summary: A journey trapped in the heat of the desert sheds light on a matter that has been troubling Haldir.
Disclaimer: Belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien.
Prompt: mission_insane : 06. Desert {geography table}
tamingthemuse : As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert (week 8 submission)
Author Notes: This week's prompt for tamingthemuse was very beautiful and wise, but I didn't have enough time to incorporate it into Gift of the Hidden Hero. Instead, I wrote this short piece that's a side-along to the main story. Set far before the events of the story took place, far before Legolas was born. Orophin and Rúmil were not yet born even. I would say Haldir is rather young here, around fifty years or so.

Also, Haldir made a mistake in this story. Camels don't carry water in their humps. It's fat, and it may disappear during long travels. However, since such science wasn't the strong point of the prehistoric world, I'll allow Haldir to make this mistake. :)

For anyone looking to moving to Dreamwidth, I have a few invite codes I can hand out. I don't know how to reach other LOTR fans looking to move with this information, but I will leave it here if anyone wishes a code. Of course, you don't have to be a LOTR fan to use one of the codes. :)

For anyone curious about the site, Dreamwidth is blogging website very similar to LiveJournal. Some of the terminology may be different (Reading page instead of Friends page, for example), but it's generally the same thing except that the site takes into account what users want. I really like the place, but the communities I love here don't have a mirror site on Dreamwidth. So I will be crossposting till this issue is settled. Feel free to post on either journal, but please make an effort not to crosspost comments to your FB or Twitter accounts. :)
