My name: Estelbain My email address: estelbain@hotmail.com Disclaimer: I am not in any way related or involved with New Line Cinema or the Tolkien family. I don't know any of them and I do not own any characters mentioned in the books "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers", "The Return of the King" or their associated movies. I do claim ownership to Estelbain, Oivorondaer, and any other characters that appear in here and that are not the property of New Line Cinema. If you wish to use any of my characters for fan fiction etc. please ask me. I give credit to the authors for any characters I borrow from other fan fictions. I will say to whom they belong in the book using brackets in the story. Note from the author: This is my first fan fiction and I would love some feedback, my email address is at the top. I know it's long and it gets better as it goes along, I promise. Also I know I've made a ton of mistakes in this. I have a spelling problem and also this isn't for school so its not meant to be perfect. If you don't like what you read then I ask you not read it. In chapter 1-3 I changed Marta's name to Oivorondaer, I will changed it in the other chapter when I get a chance. Rating: P-13 (in the later chapters it gets interesting) Genre: Romance/drama with a bit of humor thrown in for good measure. Summary: Legolas and Estelbain are forced to live in difficult times. Middle Earth is in its greatest hour of need, yet not even the wise can tell what these two young elves roles will be. Despite what the Valar seems to have lined up for them, will love win? Sunsets and Sunrises This is the story of Middle Earth, the Red book. You may have read the Red Book Mr. J.R.R Tolkien found. That one, I'm afraid, was terribly shortened. For you see, the original book Mr. Baggins wrote was later lost and only a few copies survived. Master Took made a copy of this book in full. When he retired to Gondor, he took it with him and it was called the Thane's copy. The men of Gondor kept it in their white tower with the rest of their history. It was passed down, generation to generation, then somehow found its way into a trunk in my attic (like most mysterious old things). When I first came upon it, I didn't know what to make of it. I have quite enjoyed Mr. Tolkien's books more than once, and I thought these to be alike in nature, but as I read I realized that these were a more complete version. It had all of the things in Mr. Tolkien's books and then some, like the complete history of almost every family in the Shire, (this is very tedious reading, and best left to the Hobbits, so I left it out). More importantly, it contained the history of Estelbain and Legolas, which was not included in Mr. Tolkien book. Since I’m sure you have all read the Red Book Mr. Tolkien found, I have written only the new part and parts in which the two copies overlap.
