b2memB2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: G48 - Innocent (Archetypes), a Mountain/Mountains (Person vs. Nature)
Format: Drabble
Genre: Character Study
Rating: Teens
Warnings: Implied canonical character death
Characters: Tar-Míriel
Pairings: N/A
Summary: Tar-Míriel ascends Meneltarma.
I would be foolish to claim innocence - perhaps, with eyes of mercy, complicity by idleness. Turning from harm to myself at the expense of my people, who suffered in my stead as my husband and his monster - or the reverse? - took my island.
I must hope, as the Pillar of Heaven is falling, cutting my feet bloody climbing toward the fire at its top, that Eru has the mercy to acknowledge my willing sacrifice for my people, that I will be enough in death as I have never been in life.
At least this is a fire of my choosing.
