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.
Prompt: Trunk
Círdan stooped to pick up a piece of driftwood. The beaches – jagged, rocky things – were strewn with the stuff. Once, the wood he held had been a part of a mighty tree, with a thick, sturdy trunk that could endure any storm, except war.
All along the beaches Elves and Men wandered, gathering driftwood for fuel, or to build temporary homes, until stone could be brought from farther inland to build proper cities and harbors.
The Valar thought those who refused to follow them West unwise. Gil-galad and others – Galadriel, Oropher (and Círdan himself) – were determined to prove them wrong.
