#my darling most beloved brainchildren

"Through the darkened fields entranced Music made her poor heart dance Thinking of a lost romance Long ago

Feeling lonely, feeling sad She cried in the moonlight Driven by a world gone mad She took flight

"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained Only love will then remain," She would say

Shadow of the Moon"

Evening evening everyone! :)

Just passing by and dropping this little thing that I worked on in the past couple of days.

I wasn't feeling that well, and whenever it happens, I just retreat to my usual hermit self and watch movies and whatnot.

So, the other day, I was watching LotR: The Two Towers, what these books and this trilogy had meant to me when I was a friendless, traumatized teen. They had been my safe haven for a long time, allowing me to find refuge when the world around me was too much for me to handle.

And it was in that period of time that my first proper OC was born, the one that would go on and influence many of my subsequent brainchildren, and the very first one that allowed me to pour all my hopes and dreams into her story. She would also be the one that has lasted the longest in my mind, having worked on her from 2001 until 2015.

That OC is my Elwen Ithildin, Elf Maiden of the House of Celeborn and probably the reason why, believe it or not, I managed to keep my mental health during those awful years.

I wanted to depict her passing her "duty" to Dorothea, the darling brainchild that has been keeping me company all throughout the pandemic and continue to do so to this day. :)

A small fun fact!

By now, you know that Dorothea is known as the "Morning Star"; well, that minuscule detail was actually a sort of personal homage that I did to Elwen and her status, in my old stories, as the "North Star": an ever fixed light in the darkness, a light that would always guide the wanderers through the night <3

(yes, I am obsessed with astronomy, so, as I said multiple times, the whole Sun/Moon/Star theme will be omnipresent in all my characters <3).

I hope you will like this <3
