Summary: Miriel is tired

Míriel sighed. She was so tired, so very tired. She barely lifted her head. She just wanted to sleep and never wake up.

She heard child crying, and nurse who immediately started to sooth the baby. Her baby, Fëanáro, the spirit of fire. He was so consuming, so powerful was his spirit she couldn’t recover. She gave him so much of herself it was killing her. She knew she was dying, and soon she would abandon her husband and their only child. Later they would say it was her choice. But she couldn’t choose otherways, even if she wanted to.

It's always a topic of such debate - why Miriel faded. This is nice and certainly covers one of the more common reasonings. I liked it.
