The complete story of Thranduil's beloved wife's death in an other age at Gundabar... [This is kind of a hard hitting story--and I wrote it that way-- because: 1) I wanted to address the way Legolas talks about her in that scene and how desolate he sounded not knowing anything about what happened to her while staying true to the movieverse; 2) I added some dwarves to give more weight to the animosity and 3) it's like, what would really-I mean really-turn Thranduil's heart to stone and make him want to hide away from the rest of the world? This is what came together after hours and hours of watching the extended versions and the extras And I didn't look at any other sources for information--including the books--or any fandom wiki sites. It's all based on my speculation of what made sense from the dvds and the creation of my OCs.]
