An Exception to Joy


"She will not return; her spirit has fled."

Irmo's words echoed in Finwë's head. Around him, he saw the golden light of Laurelin illuminating couples walking hand in hand and children playing in the public gardens of Tirion. He heard artisans humming as they cast their shuttles or hammered the metal in their forges.

He entered his home, devastated. In the distance, he heard Fëanor asking a question of his tutor. He took a shaky breath. How would he tell his son that his mother would never return to him? In Tirion, there was joy; here, however, sorrow would prevail.

*sniff* Such an un-looked for tragedy.

Thank you, my dear. I don't think anything formed Fëanor quite as much as Míriel's decision to leave her hröa behind and stay in Mandos.

Such a heartbreaking moment.

It was a defining moment in the relationship of Finwë and Fëanor. A true tragedy.
