Quest 1: A Wild Dwarf Appears! [Dictated/Action][Open to all - let me know if I messed up!!]

[fuckelves]

[Where is he? Why is there a book in his hand?]

...from the make of this place, I'd say this is Elf sorcery...

[To appease his curiosity, Thorin opens the book and finds not only his name, but the words he spoke not seconds ago written inside.]

...definitely Elf devilry.

[He tilts a brow and observes his surroundings - seems to be a lobby of some sort. Dwarves don't typically live in castles, so he knows this is not the work of his kind - and his kind would never demand the sacrifice that this castle did.]

Where in Mahal's beard am I?

[Thorin nods, but shortly - not wanting it to be known that he agreed with an Elf.]

Aye. I'm told that the darkness seeks to rise again in Middle Earth. And it does not surprise me: Wherever there is light, does it not cast shadow?

That is the unfortunate truth, is it not? No light can exist without darkness.

[lightbranded]

For light and darkness this is true. But not, perhaps, for Light and Dark.

[fuckelves]

I did not consider these concepts to be very different from each other.

[Aaaand here's the stubborn Dwarf we were all missing...]

[lightbranded]

They are, and they are not.

[fuckelves]

...seems inconveniently perplexing.

[Thorin doesn't like contradictions...]

[lightbranded]

Important things are often very complicated, I've found/

[fuckelves]

Aye, an excellent point.

[lightbranded]

Sometimes they can be so complicated that you can only wish they could be a bit simpler.

[fuckelves]

Oh, aye - but you can wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which gets filled first.

[Thorin is not usually a dreamer or an optimist...and that original phrase did not have the word "spit" in it...]
