Entry for competition #31 "Storytelling".

When I was considering storytelling, my thoughts turned to the threads of a story, the way that characters arive and depart, interact with each other for a while, go away, come back, and usually all turn up in the same place for the climax.

So I decided to do a character "timeline" necklace for a specific bunch of characters in a particular story - the "Nine Walkers" of The Lord of the Rings. That is: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli. I went off to the internets and found a timeline, and made a chart of when people were together and when they weren't, and I based the necklace on that.

From the top, the lines are:

• Dark Blue - Frodo
  
• Blue - Sam
  
• Dull Silver - Gandalf the Grey
  
• Bright Silver - Gandalf the White
  
• Lavender - Pippin
  
• Sky Blue - Merry
  
• Dark Purple - Aragorn
  
• Purple - Boromir
  
• Green - Legolas (of course!)
  
• Brown - Gimli (a Son of Earth, indeed)
