The Patient Eagle, by Elleth
B2MeM Challenge:
B15: Four Words: exception, hospitality, sell, publish; Snippets of Verse: I am the swift uplifting rush
Format: Drabble
Genre: General
Rating: Gen
Warnings: N/A
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, an eagle
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros implied
Summary: Fingon tames an eagle, with a special purpose in mind.
It takes twelve years for the eagle to understand that Fingon means no harm in feeding her, and another until she lets the elf approach with meat before rushing into flight. This bird is no Thorondor, yet patience makes her an exception nonetheless. Fingon's right hand soon bears scars other than from Helcaraxë, but he repays her with the hospitality of the Eldar, rebutting any asking if he'll sell her. At Mereth Aderthad he bears her on his hand to Maedhros, speaking quietly.
"We'll teach her to fly the way to Himring, for bearing secrets we don't want to publish."
