Format: ficlet
Genre: general
Rating:
Warnings:

Pairings:
Summary: Rushirithir's stay at Nienna's continues, and a chance meeting with an old friend brings new meaning to his views on Light and Darkness.
A/N: Many thanks to Fiondil again, whose influence has made itself known in my writing by the use of Acairis. Thanks also to Aearwen, whose view of the canon character Acairis becomes has firmly planted itself in my headcanon. Acairis seemed intended to become said character, though Fiondil never explicitly stated it, but the Muse insisted, and so...

B2MeM 2013: Day Five

[dawn_felagund]

Below are three prompts, one from each of the three major eras of Arda’s history. To participate, choose one that sounds interesting, locate the quote in the books (that’s the scavenger hunt bit!), read the surrounding passage or chapter, and create your piece based on that.

Your piece does not need to be based on the scene from the quote. While this is certainly one approach, you could also write about a character, location, or theme found in the scene. Remember, there’s no prompt police, and we encourage creative use of the prompts!

	“Long they dwelt in their first home by the water under stars, and they walked the Earth in wonder; and they began to make speech and to give names to all things that they perceived. Themselves they named the Quendi, signifying those that speak with voices; for as yet they had met no other living things that spoke or sang.”
	“Then Ar-Pharazôn hardened his heart, and he went aboard his mighty ship, Alcarondas, Castle of the Sea. Many-oared it was and many-masted, golden and sable; and upon it the throne of Ar-Pharazôn was set. Then he did on his panoply and his crown, and let raise his standard, and he gave the signal for the raising of the anchors; and in that hour the trumpets of Númenor outrang the thunder.”
	"But when Aragorn arose all that beheld him gazed in silence, for it seemed to them that he was revealed to them now for the first time. Tall he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him."
