A New Addition, by Kaylee Arafinwiel

B2MeM Challenge:
D: Like a very dirty dragon
Between Mindeb and the upper waters of Esgalduin lay the no-land of Nan Dungortheb; and that region was filled with fear, for upon its one side the power of Melian fenced the north march of Doriath, but upon the other side the sheer precipices of Ered Gorgoroth, Mountains of Terror, fell down from high Dorthonion. Thither, as was earlier told, Ungoliant had fled from the whips of the Balrogs, and there she dwelt a while, filling the ravines with her deadly gloom, and there still, when she had passed away, her foul offspring lurked and wove their evil nets; and the thin waters that spilled from Ered Gorgoroth were defiled, and perilous to drink, for the hearts of those that tasted them were filled with shadows of madness and despair.

Format: Ficlet
Genre: Family/Humor
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mention of giant spiders and childbirth
Characters: Éowyn, Elboron, OCs
Pairings: Éowyn/Faramir
Summary: A quarter-century after the fall of Sauron, Éowyn and Faramir have welcomed their newest child at the court of Rohan. Aragorn, Arwen and their children have joined them there in time for the birth. But will tripling the amount of royal offspring in the schoolroom while the Princess of Ithilien labours go well? I disclaim "Nob O'The Lea" and dedicate this story to Dreamflower and to Virtuella, for whom I wrote "A Conversation on Family", the last time this visit to Rohan was mentioned. (Knowledge of that story isn't required to enjoy this one.)

But the other Ainur looked upon this habitation set within the vast spaces of the World, which the Elves call Arda, the Earth; and their hearts rejoiced in light, and their eyes beholding many colours were filled with gladness; but because of the roaring of the sea they felt a great unquiet. And they observed the winds and the air, and the matters of which Arda was made, of iron and stone and silver and gold and many substances: but of all these water they most greatly praised. And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.
