Ibun's Perspective

  If the world had come to turn its backs on us, we would turn our backs on them. They say not much is known of the petty dwarves, that’s only because no one bothered to ask. Our stories are plentiful too. Our songs were different from what you know, instead of the thrum of a harp or a flute or whatever you Noldor…Sindar...Edain..? What are you anyways? No, that doesn’t matter right now. Our songs were composed with the crunch of grass against feet, of your obnoxious snores in the night as we crept around your encampments. Don’t look at me like that, us Petty Dwarves don’t prefer the ash of the forge and the bubbling lava blistering at our skin. We could very well if we wanted too! But what is there around to forge? Stone? Gravel? Bah! It seemed like nature was punishing us as well, mocking our inadequacies or perhaps our dwindling numbers. We’re smaller than most, but plenty as tough. It didn’t matter that we had few friends. We were fine. I was fine. It was me, father, and Khim. ...

  Slow footsteps, careful and measured lined the empty streets, like the the slow beat of my heart. Quiet was the air, and yet the simple sound of my breath felt like cannon fire to my ears. This…What was this? Where were the people? The Valinor? The song? The mercy? The peace? A pained, bitter feeling rose in my throat. Like I were being suffocated by hopelessness alone. This land was empty. They were beautiful, lush green hills and sparkling streets, but what use was beauty in a time like this? Our Salvation was empty. My homeland lie crumbled into dust, a land once so beautiful gone to hell, and salvation was empty. A near distance back, my wife, my friends lay waiting, and salvation was empty. What was I to tell them when I returned? My own two sons gone, to what fate? Imprisonment? Enslavement? Torture? Or most mercifully, death? And Salvation, was empty. Was it a lie? Hopeless delusion by the Noldor? My voice was growing tired, calling out in language after language, tongue a...

Earendril Perspective

  I thought I was hallucinating. Right, I must be out of my mind, gone absolutely and helplessly insane. To me, the sea was more than a simple longing, it was life itself. The water that sloshed against Vingilot like the very blood in my veins, the scent of salt clinging to my clothes. When everything was confusing, a turmoil of emotion and grief so deep in my chest, I would look down into the murky depths. It would be like I was a young boy again, with the ash of my home burned into my lungs and my heart trembling from the near miss of the reaper’s scythe, looking into the depths for answers that would always be there. But it had been more days at the waters than I could count now, a fruitless search for friends long gone, of gods who seemed blind to the plights and cries of mortals. The blonde of my hair was starting to turn as dark as the sea under the night sky, the once vibrant blues of my eyes growing weary with exhaustion. Was it merely because of the darkness? Or hope escap...
