I attended a party the other night. It was held in a great hall, decorated especially for the occasion.The decorations were very interesting, though it seems to me that someone else may have arranged the party. Froim what i have heard and read of the King's past, he does not seem to be one who would enjoy too many fancy things. He seems simple, though he cannot be with his background. Though I have never met him, what I have read portrays him as taking pleasure in simpler things. It does not seem he would be one for too much decor.
A large host of guests was there. All invited by the King, Aragorn, I would assume, judging from the people who were there. I spent much of my time watching, but I did meet a few new people.
The first I met was Miriel. She is one of those who has been brought back from beyond the grave. Unlike most, she is human, though. I am not sure which of the Valar had a hand in bringing all these great leaders and heroes back, but if I did, I would be sure to inquire as to why. But then I have to stop and think. Perhaps it was Eru. I could see him doing this sort of thing. From what I remember of him, it would be to his taste and care. Miriel was the last Queen of the Numenoreans. I was not involved too much in the dealings with the Elves and Men back when Numenor was powerful. I was occupied in Valinor elsewhere. I would have liked to be, though. Now that I am among these other races, they fascinate me.
Others I spoke to were some of the Hobbits who helped with the mission against the forces of Darkness in the age that just passed out of being. They were interesting, as were their songs. They sung these songs upon tables, which made it interesting to watch. It also brought them to a higher level. It is a strange day when a Hobbit can look over you, but I wonder if being on the tables had a double motive.
One of the Hobbits, Pippin, seemed as skepticle of the food as I was. I am afraid I am not used to food of the sort that was served at the Party. Again, I do not think it was the choice of the King, for he appeared uncomforatble with it too. The soup was a greyish color, and was served "chilled." I chose to heat mine, and it improved the taste immensely. I am glad to say that it did not taste as bad as it looked. I did not bother trying what we got next. I am not sure what it was, but the main course was excellent. There were foods from all around, and many different kinds. I think the rest of the people there enjoyed the main course as well. It was much more like the food I was used to.
Unfortunately, I had to leave early, but I am glad I did not miss the King's speach, for that was very good. I wish I had not had to leave, but I promised the child who taught me to juggle that I would give him his night light tonight, and I would not miss that unless I absolutely had to.Current Mood:  amused |
