It is time for a new Teitho! This time the challenge will be to write a story centering around the topic Growing Up.

There are many different angles you can take with this theme: You could understand it literally and write a childhood story where a character is on the verge of adulthood. You could show us what Aragorn's first days with the rangers were like. Or how he first fell in love... There are so many moments that mark the process of growing that it should actually be difficult to decide on one! You can show us what growing up feels like for an elf. Or you give us a glimpse of Aragorn's life as a married man, watching his children grow.

On the other hand, growing up is associated with becoming more serious and less carefree. However, maybe our beloved characters managed to preserve some of their more "childish" character traits!

Here are the winners for the Growing Up challenge:

A Hard Road by Jaimie-Erin
A Taste of Honey by Linda Hoyland 3rd place
Bill's Journey by StarLight 2nd place
Heart of a Healer by phoenixqueen
Heritage by rocknrohan
