Gems of Arda

A/N: Thanks to Ithiliel Silverquill, I've become addicted to drabbles. For those who don't know, drabbles are hundred-word compositions.

Amarië's Farewell

My Finrod, why must you go? Why must you leave me and everything else behind?

But I am asking empty air, for you are already gone, far from my reach evermore. I know the reason for which you tread into this shadow. Your "great" king Fëanor. I am bound to another liege, and though your father resisted, you wished to remain with your sister and your cousin Turgon. Indeed, blood is thicker than water.

I do not hold anything against you. My heart still belongs to you, and always will, an unforgotten memory in my soul.

Goodbye, my love.

Goodbye.
