Elin Síla Lúmenn' Omenielvo All! :-)

Recently i had a dream where I traveled to the South of Middle Earth (I am a sad boy therefore i dream about ME sometimes) and I came upon a colony of a rather twisted set of elves. It was a colony of Elves, Orcs and many half-breeds in-between. They explained to me how in the Ages of Stars a few Orcs escaped South from Melkor's pits, and as they came across roaming Nandor elves. And when they saw the Elves that they used to be there hearts were turned away from the evil that they had fled from. And some of the Nandor took pity of the Orcs, as they saw the Elven Beauty was still in their hearts, if not in their looks. And eventually love blossomed between these two people, and many elves married the orcs, and their children were Elvish at heart, loving beauty and song, though they looked much like orcs. But after the War of Wrath the host of Valinor came upon the colony, and thinking it an Orcish prison camp they slaughtered the Orcs and half Orcs and carried off the Elves, mistaking their tears and wails as tears of joy. Since I had this dream I have thought of the Orcs more as under a spell of evil than evil beings, and every time I hear read about great slaughter of Orcs I think that if they had been spared they could have become good again. I am sure this breeds all sorts of inconsistencies with the books, but it does show that pity can be felt towards any being no mater how evil their actions. Or maybe it just shows that I am a little weird.
