B2MeM Challenge: Winter Wonderland – N43
Format: Drabble – double drabble
Genre: family
Rating: Gen
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Aragorn, Halbarad, Dirhael, OCs
Pairings: n/a
Creators' Notes (optional): Takes place during "Winter in Arnor", during Aragorn's first winter with the Dúnedain.
Summary: Once the blizzard is over, the games begin. For “Winter Festivities”.
The blizzard lasted for three days, and Tâduin was half-buried in snow by the time it was done. The Bear clan were perfect hosts. Aragorn became accustomed to sharing Niben’s bunk, and by the time the storm had blown itself out he felt far more comfortable with Beremes’ family. Still, he was glad to be released from forced isolation. On the fourth day he set to work with a will, aiding Beremes’ family.
They went from lodge to lodge in bear-shape, Aragorn following behind. They assisted the other clans of the Dúnedain; the bath-houses were opened, and ere long life returned to normal. On the sixth day, Lord Dírhael and Aragorn declared a festival to celebrate their survival of the great snows, and the games began.
Aragorn learned a new game; a line was drawn in the hard-packed snow, poles were brought out, and he took turns with the other young men and women, casting a carved, polished stick along the snow to see whose would fly farthest. The snow-serpents, for so they were called, flew faster than the young Chieftain expected – and his flew furthest of all.
Hallatan and Halbarad led the cheering as their kinsman’s feat was acclaimed.
