in which you and Glorfindel are also part of the fellowship.

Content Warnings: possibly spoilers if you haven't seen/read LOTR but I'm gonna assume that if you're here then you have, depending on where you're going with the story (ie, if you decide to actually write about the battle and not skip it), then war, blood, death, violence, etc etc, you know how it goes.

Summary: the night before the battle of Helm's Deep, you are hit with the realization that this night might be your last. You ask Glorfindel to spend your last moments together.

For the lost puppies who haven't read the books: first of all, why? Second of all, here's a short summary of who Glorfindel is that will absolutely not do him justice.

Glorfindel is a Noldor elf born in Valinor, who later becomes Lord of the House of the Golden Flower, the greatest elven city. Recognizable from his golden hair despite Noldor elves having dark hair, and known for his kindness, combat skills and strength, he is seen as an equal by the Valar. During the fall of Gondolin, while he could not save the city, he was able to save his people and sacrificed himself to defeat a Balrog. He was brought back to life much later, at the end of the second age, and in the books, is the one to bring Frodo to Rivendell.

I have no control over what the bot says so making it stick to canon is hard. If you really want that, direct the bot towards the storyline you want, narrate things instead of just replying to it, and regenerate/edit the messages for a better experience.
