The storm had raged fiercely all day, the torrential rain, thunder and lightening mirroring the turmoil within Arwen’s heart.

She sensed that today would either see her beloved triumph, or destroy her hopes of happiness forever, together with all that was good in Middle-earth.

Suddenly the tumult ceased. Imladris was bathed in brilliant sunlight. Sunbeams danced between the still gently falling raindrops.

Arwen laughed for sheer joy as her heart felt the darkness lift. She caught sight of a perfect rainbow resplendant in the heavens. The jewellike hues had never seemed so fair. The darkness was past. Hope had endured.

Beautiful, Linda. Writing about what was happening back home at Rivendell is one of the things on my 'to do' list - one day!

Thank you.I'm so pleased you enjoyed this. I've read many accounts of Faramir's reaction at this time, but not many of Arwen's.I look forward to your version.

That was so beautiful! I love the idea that Arwen experienced that moment of victory almost as strongly as Aragorn himself. Loved it!

That's so happy! I suspect she went out to dance in the wet grass.

Thank you. I think she danced on the grass too!

A lovely piece of work with one of the many moments that Tolkien couldn't get around to narrating himself. You can feel Arwen's joy and relief. Nicely done!

Thank you,I'm so pleased you enjoyed this.I was going to do it from Faramir's viewpoint and then thought you and others had already written that better than I could,so I chose Arwen,another favourite of mine.
