Summary
"If you are a hero- go with the dawn,
And turn your word into reality.
Take the northern road, to the Kingdom of Darkness,
And return with a Silmaril..."Two different fates are woven together when Lúthien, an elven princess, falls in love with Beren, a hero of mortal men. To win her hand, Beren is sent on an impossible quest- to cut a legendary gem from the crown of the Dark Lord. So begins this battle between light and darkness, love and duty, in the most enduring tale of Middle Earth.
Recently adapted in Russia as a rock-opera, the Lay of Leithian is reimagined and revitalized. With a stellar cast, and music composed and adapted by Skadi, it's an entirely new way to experience the story of Beren and Lúthien.
Here you'll find the entire libretto translated into English, best used as subtitles for the 2021 livestream recording. Information and links for viewing are included in the notes.

Turning Leaves: A Collection of Fairy Tales by aro_fox

Summary
Fairy tales are an oral tradition, meant to be retold and reformed again and again, always new. But with current forms of media, fairy tales have stagnated into something almost copyrighted; there are certainties for each tale that cannot be deviated from.
This work was not meant to change this. This work began as simply me telling a fairy tale to myself. My only goal was to write a fairy tale that I would enjoy reading. And then one story became two, then three...
Now, I am publishing this small collection in the hopes that others may enjoy them.
May you find a new retelling of a familiar tale as exciting I have while writing them. Let's turn another leaf.
