Faramir (Took)

His gay laughter echoed off the walls as he scrambled through the shining floor. Father told him the entire city was made of white stone called marble that shone golden in the sunlight and silver in the moonlight.

The servants scuttled away narrowly as he ran past them as if the wind aided his heels. All around him the walls shone from the sunlight. He gave a loud laugh, and watched in fascination as it bounced off the walls and the echoes returned to him from all around him. He gave another laugh, hopped on his two tiny, hairy feet and fled into another corridor.

No one stopped him, and he passed by some whom only smiled and shook their heads. They were too tall for him, so tall in fact that it hurt his neck when he tried to look up at them. But the Big People were his father's friends, and that's why they came to visit them.

He stopped by a door and peered inside. His eyes widened as wide as possible in wonder. The floor was tiled white and black, and statues lined both sides, nestled between tall pillars. He gave a merry laugh and jumped in the room with both feet. Then he paused, gave a wide grin and ran.

Somehow he miscalculated. The floor was slippery than he thought and he was barefoot. The sole of his right heel slipped and he landed on his backside. But that was not all. He skidded round and round on the black and white marble until his back thumped gently against something.

He looked behind him, grin slightly fading to a curious smile. One of the Big People towered over him. The light from above hid most of the man's features, but he had black hair and beard and soft smile of his own. Then the man knelt down until his eyes comfortably met his own. The man wore a thoughtful face, but there was trusting gentleness in him. He saw father speaking to him earlier, when he was meant to be of to bed but instead he snuck out for adventuring.

"And you must be Faramir Took," the man said, his one hand still resting upon his curly brown head. He blinked his round eyes at him many times.

"Who are you?" Faramir Took asked. The man smiled.

"I am Faramir."


Author's Note:

-I have an exam so, writing replies to reviews is a bit difficult. I am stuck in bit of a dilemma. I can either post updates of numerous stories, or update just one story and reply to reviews. You guys tell me. :) I will do as you wish.

-Just keep reviewing though, :P I won't lie; sometimes what you guys say help me write down another Scribble. :)
