New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
The Geats remember that, after the War of Wrath, Angband's depths were too dark to delve. Beowulf/Silmarillion crossover (but you don't need to know Beowulf to follow).
The twist of a dragon on the hilt design was a reminder.
A distant memory—so faded to be nearly an instinct, a collective dream—remembered a black dragon rearing up to fill the sky. Remembered fire sudden enough to peel away the roof of a hall. Remembered bodies incinerated before their ashen tongues could scream.
The settlers, at the verge of the ice-cluttered sea, twitched in dreams (or memories?) of depths too dark to delve.
The black she-dragon, her eggs: a rumor.
So as they established their own long hall, their artisans and poets remembered, exalted. Dreaded what would come.
