Begetting Fire

Míriel’s eyes were glazed when her husband at last looked into them, their lovemaking having been completed in such a remarkable manner. “Do you believe that we have created a new life, love of my heart?” he asked dazedly.

Slowly, she turned her eyes to meet his, and her gaze came present. “My love, there is such a fire you have lit within me! I do not know if I will be able to survive it, and I fear it may indeed set all of Valinor alight!”

Finwë could not begin to appreciate how terribly true her words would prove.

OOh - that is chillingly good. Perhaps chillingly is the wrong word, under the circumstances.

Oh, yes, chilling is perhaps not the right word. Heh! Thanks so!
