Restoration & Rebuilding Instadrabbling by elennalore

In an Acorn

Aldarion and my Númenórean OC Telda on their first trip to Middle-earth.

The prompt is a quote: I can see in the acorn the oak tree. I see the growth, the rebuilding, the restoring. - Maya Angelou

It was a murky little inn in a village that would one day become Vinyalondë. Heads turned when Vëantur’s crew walked in, tall and proud.

Telda grinned. She had never been happier than during their voyage to Middle-earth.

She sat down next to Aldarion and ordered ale and stew. She liked the King’s son. She had liked his father, too.

Aldarion took an acorn from his pocket and showed it to her.

“This is the future,” he said. “It’s all in here. The tree, timber, the ship that was built from the tree. You only need to plant an acorn.”
