Summary: The wave is dark, not sea blue.


The wave is dark, not sea green, tearing dirt, dust and lives across the whole of Númenor. From her high place, through the fumes, Tar-Míriel can see it coming for her, and in her mind it takes the form of shining hope. End this, all this, and end me too.

It is her body that betrays her, only, clawing and climbing the steep slope of the Mountain's side. So even she has fallen under shadow of the fear of death, not caring that it spells deliverance, for the wave rushes at her like a predator, heaven-sent though it may be.
