Okay, okay, this is dumb, and barely rhymes, but it's my second attempt, so NO LAUGHING, or I'll come and wave my feet in your direction!

Kindled with an unconsuming fire.
Blessed with the autumn colours of fall,
Short-lived, gone within the hour."

No. Hint: The "eagle" is not alive.

F.B.-B., Everyone automaticly becomes an Enting at fifty posts. Once you make 100 posts, you'll be an Elven Warrior. 500, and you'll be an Elf Lord.

Carrying destiny upon its wings
Swiftly in silver it flies
As the crown it flings

Is it a cloud? Flinging lightening? Battle of the five armies? Gandalf? Ack. It's harder than it looks.

Elf Girl · 03-29-2002, 06:22 PM

No, no, no, and no.

Okay, this is wild: the one ring?

As for a hint to mine, think about the word "silver"

No, to the one ring. As for yours, is it set in ME? It sounds like an aeroplane to me, with bombs. I can't think of an ME equivalent though.

Yes, it is set in ME. The eagle is an eagle, it just isn't alive. (That just gave it away. Uh oh.)

To yours, is it Lothlorien?

Starr Polish · 03-29-2002, 07:13 PM

Is it the eagle from "The Hobbit"? I cannot remember it's name...

No. I said it wasn't alive.

BeardofPants · 03-29-2002, 07:20 PM

I can't think of a dead eagle... (whacks brain in frustration) mmm...

No, not lothlorien.

BeardofPants · 03-29-2002, 07:21 PM

Thorondor?

Is it Earendil's ship? Or did someone already guess that?

I didn't say dead, I said not alive. *major hint alert goes off in backround*
