After his death, Tauriel is stricken with grief. The love she thought she had had, ripped away from her. She goes back to her home in Mirkwood, which is getting darker by the minute. Thranduil is closing his kingdom away, farther and farther into the forest. Things are not looking good. But who is it who pulls her curtains every night to keep the darkness out? Who is it who fills her quiver with arrows and every so often tucks the unfolded flap of her blanket over her in the cold nights? And who is it, who tells her not to worry, who tells her to stay strong? residenthobbit49 :)
