Ahoy, Mateys!! *brandishes hook-hand* Welcome aboard our ship, which we will use to sail the seas and take back our long-lost treasure (the Silmarils)! There's no telling what danger we may encounter-- I've heard tales of Mergoth and Meron, foul folk who haunt the seas. We may end up in a ship...
For my Lómion (and Íri and Tyelko), @Tyelkormo the Fair
~~~
Other kingdoms were starting to celebrate spring by now, but not Himring. It felt so unfair. Even Tyelko wrote to Maitimo from Himlad that the grass was starting to get green again and he was able to let his animals out to graze. But...

Prologue
Gentle flurries of snow grew to a raging blizzard in the mountain kingdom of Himring...
And Varda hallowed the Silmarils, so that thereafter no mortal flesh, nor hands unclean, nor anything of evil will might touch them, but it was scorched and withered; and Mandos foretold that the fates of Arda, earth, sea and air, lay locked within them.

So, I finished this a few months ago after having worked on it for a full year. But I finally got the high-quality pictures from my mom, who photographed it with her portrait lens, so now I'm finally able to share it!
Since I spent a year working on this, you are now going to hear the...
