This Drowning Ground
“The sink-swell/of this drowning ground,/a reckoning.” – “Tremble” by Lindsay Lusby
Laerwen comes to visit Legolas in Ithilien, to see the land he loves and the work he has done. She has not traveled so far south in an age, and quickly learns that – despite all that has passed between them – her own memories of Mordor still lurk close to the surface, waiting to overwhelm her and bear her down into the marshes of her own mind.
Fortunately, her brother is there to act as a lifeline.
