A/n This is the first time that i've ever written anything for this category.
A tribute to Finrod Felagund
The darkness of our cell closes in
Now there is only the pale glow of skin
Another roar, another scream, another death
These men were your brothers
Sworn to fight and die in battle by your side.
Heavy worries lie on your brow, stronger than ever
Thingol's fair daughter waits for you still
But you my friend have lost all hope of seeing her again
There are not many of us left now
Soon they will come for you Beren
Another roar, another scream, another death
In that moment I must do something.
Not so long ago I made a promise
We of the Eldar do not break them easily
How can you mortals stand the thought of death?
To live life knowing that it must end
I have no such preparation.
We do not teach our children that death cometh
Another roar, another scream, another death
They are promised forever
Looking into your eyes I see fear, but also strength.
Turning my face away I am glad that
Mortal eyes cannot see in such dark
For I know my face is etched with fear.
The cell door is slammed open
They come for you
Another roar, another scream, another death
Standing, shackles clanking, I summon my strength
The chains fail halfway along their length
Your startled face seems to look up to mine
A glimmer of hope that is all I need to go on
Your trust sets my plan in motion
Not even the roars of the beast can shake my heart now
This is something that must be done
Another roar, another scream, another death
My legs carry me through the cell door and down the passage
It is here I must face my destiny
The wolf slobbers, blood dripping from its jaws
Collecting all the strength I posses, I jump
Sinking my teeth in deep.
