King Eärendur of Arnor is growing old. He decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, Gilraen, Anorwen and Ithiliel. But when Ithiliel refuses to flatter him like her sisters, the King banishes her.
After being rejected by Gilraen and Anorwen at their homes, Eärendur falls into madness and wanders the wilds of Arnor.
Based on Shakespeare's King Lear, with its themes of family loyalty, authority, madness and reconciliation, The Last King explores how Arnor became divided into three realms, a decision which would lead to its eventual downfall.

Agony • Concealed Memories | | Thranduil
When a darkness spreads across Mirkwood, a mighty elven kingdom is robbed from its bliss. A once vibrant people hides behind the walls of their kingdom and the forest grew into a bleak and uneasy place. The other realms suspected Thranduil of being embittered by Saurons return, the growing darkening of his kingdom and the domination of Shelob's children beneath the canopy of his forest. Nothing could've been further from the truth. There was another reason why Thranduil grew bitter and isolated. A reason no one dared to speak about. And as people stopped talking about it, memories faded, got twisted and turned, until dozens of versions left people confused. They had forgotten Thranduils love for life, for his kingdom. The memories fell into extinction and people no longer remembered. Except for Thranduil. This is the story of Thranduil and the memories he hid in the depths of his soul. A pain that has wrenched his heart. A pain that can best be described as; 'agony.'Complete

My Sister, the Sensible One (full story)
(originally published on my Instagram @Legolas_mylove_imagine, under #mysisterthesensibleone) You are the youngest daughter of Lord Elrond of Rivendell, and sister as well as best friend to Arwen. Though you and Arwen may be sisters, you two are as different as night and day; while Arwen is regal, graceful, very beautiful, and prefers to stay indoors, you are loud, a bit too honest at times, somewhat clumsy, and cannot get enough of the great outdoors. But, despite your differences, you and Arwen are inseparable. So inseparable, in fact, that Arwen has abandoned her friends who are unkind to you, just because she loves you so much. And, though you are grateful for her loyalty, you feel terrible at how much Arwen has lost just because of you, and you've sworn to yourself that it will never happen again... Until a man of Gondor comes to visit Rivendell, and you and Arwen both fall in love with him. Will you choose to step out of the way and give your sister this chance at happiness, or will you follow your heart, and possibly lose everything for it.Complete

A routine patrol escalated and Aearon soon found herself separated from her brother and the rest of the Teleri forces, pursuing a group of dark creatures that tormented her lands. While carrying out her duty, Aearon found herself at the mercy of the cold Prince of Mirkwood and King Thranduil himself. Finding herself locked in Thranduil's dungeon, the she-elf soon finds herself becoming friends with the most unlikely of creatures who steer her life on to a whole new path. Accompanying the group of dwarves to their home, Aearon finds herself battling both foe and feeling as she struggles to survive the dangers of middle earth. Will she allow herself to become compromised by her feelings or will she continue on her journey to prove herself. Either way, she will do whatever it takes to keep her word and help her friends while avoiding another stay in King Thranduil's dungeon, much to his displeasure.
