A shameless self promotion it is, then! This short scene takes place in the Fourth Age, but the sole character is Yavanna, continuing a work she began in the Time of the Trees.

Summary: A graphic novel adaptation of "Of the Beginning of Days", "Of Aulë and Yavanna" (and the very beginning of "Of the Coming of the Elves"... alas, no more than the beginning).
Why I enjoyed it (optional): Aside from the fact that the mere effort of turning these chapters into a graphic novel is awesome, I really like the design choices of the artist as well as many of the details.

Ohhhh, "Out of the Dust" is just perfection. I never thought about any of the Dwarves' POV of that amazing, fascinating beginning.
