And the nightingales sing

This was Boccia prompts fill, so thank you to Keiliss and Independence1776 for their lovely image prompts!

Which were an open window with the moon shining through, and hot air balloons in the nightsky!

 

It also kind of fulfils the Badminton prompt with all these nightingales.

This is very sweet — I love the dreamy quality, and the image of hot* air balloons floating over Imladris (Oh my gosh! Just imagine!!) And I like the idea of her great great grandparents comforting her — I do like to think that going beyond the Circles of world does not preclude one from reaching through to connect with loved ones in spirit.

*Otto Corrected "hot" to "joy", and I think, as usual, he's right, they are joy air balloons!

Otto corrected is certainly right, these air balloons bring a lot of joy!

And I'm so happy that it not only is a story about a dream, but feels dreamy, too, for you.

If there is anyone who can reach out from beyond the circles of the world to speak to their great-great-granddaughter, it's Beren & Lúthien. As you have seen or will see soon from my other replies, I have many thoughts about Arwen and Lúthien (and Aragorn and Beren), so I will facilitate meetings between them if I can manage in any way, shape or form. Even if I have to send them to the dreamscape to do so! (They will meet, gosh darn it, they deserve it!)
