Epilogue

………..The greatest forest in Middle Earth now bowed to the forces of evil that lurked within. From the day that the shadow of evil entered the south, it was no longer the same. Twisted forms marred her trees and killed her animals. And she wept. And he came…And from those days forth her beauty was no more. Slowly his evil spread and reached the Elves. And they in turn closed their doors to the world; to keep the evil out and to keep the good in.

That was the story of how the evil was found, some died and some lived but he was too strong. They fought but the evil was too strong and in their failure the doors of their halls were closed; their beauty and hers was shunned out of sight beneath the veil of blackness. And from then on she was Mirkwood………
