b2memB2MeM Challenge: BINGO – Talents & Skills - O75
Format: Drabble
Genre: angst
Rating: Gen
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Elrond
Pairings: n/a
Creators' Notes (optional): Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. Mark Twain (1835-1910) (A prompt from lindahoyland on lj)
Summary: Elrond acknowledges his dark side
Others said it was impossible to heal with any darkness in the soul, yet he disproved them daily for it festered within him, even all these years after Celebrian’s departure.
He applied a clean dressing to a leg stump. Orcs took as much pleasure in maiming elves as in killing, knowing such injuries would remain forever. Some wounds even he could not heal and they brought blackness boiling to the surface of Elrond’s soul, like scum in a pan, that he must lid tightly.
Retribution was easy but compassion took strength, a lesson many only learned through walking Mandos’ halls.
END
