The Right Choice

Prompt: Leaf/Leaves

Elros crouched by the pale sapling already being called Nimloth by most, and brushed his fingers lightly over the tiny silver-green leaves just starting to unfurl. It was a gift from the Elves of Eressëa, who had placed the seedling carefully into Elros’s hands, so that he, as king, could plant it.

Elves were very fond of symbolic action. Especially those who dwelt in the Blessed Realm.

But he didn’t mind. Seeing Nimloth grow and flourish in his island’s soil beneath his care was like an affirmation that he had made the right choice, in spite of all his doubts.
