I have neglected these drabbles overmuch lately...
Finally
Amarie sat forlornly on her windowsill, knees drawn up to her chin, eyes roving over the lush Valinor greens chock full of happy animals and Elves, flowers and trees, and the occasional Vala or Maia.
On a beautiful Feanorian-made bench close by reposed a young couple. The ellon had his arm around the elleth, who had lain her head on his chest.
Their eyes were closed in blissful contentedness, and they looked to be at complete peace. They were both of the Vanyar, their golden hair sparkling in the sunlight, and if Amarie tried hard enough, she could almost imagine it was her and Finrod there on that bench, just married that morning and happy as a pair of clams, as her new mother-in-law Earwen would say.
But it was not her and Finrod.
She sighed, closing her eyes to their bliss as she felt a cold tear trickle down her cheek.
He had been gone for so long, Amarie had lost count of the years. She was beginning to wonder if he really was ever coming back at all.
She was startled out of her lonely thoughts by a fierce pounding on the door, a pounding completely uncharacteristic of Valinor.
She leapt up from the sill and hurried to the receive her unexpected visitor, light summer dress billowing back around her as she opened the door, eyebrows raised inquisitively as she looked to see who it was.
The minute the door opened, she found herself staring into a pair of all-too-familiar blue eyes, a pair that she had been fantasizing and romanticizing about ever since he had left. She barely had time to realize what was going on before she was practically body-slammed with the hug to end all hugs, completely knocking all the breath left from her.
"Findarato?" she gasped, face lost in his soft golden hair.
"Oh Amarie, dearest beloved, as the werewolf was devouring me, it was your face I saw!" he cried in ecstasy as he kissed her, eyes brimming with tears long held back.
"Devoured by a werewolf?" Amarie echoed softly, too bewildered and happy to make clear sense of anything, before returning the kiss.
Finally.
Finrod had finally returned.
Just like he had promised he would all along.
Findarato-Finrod
For those unaware, Finrod was eaten by one of Sauron's cute pet werewolves. Yup. Ouch, poor guy...
Anyway, guess what? I finally got around to making my own cute little chibi Maedhros hanging from the Thangorodrim keychain out of polymer clay! It's so cute... I got the idea from a person on DeviantART, and I realized just after I'd finished it that I hung him from the wrong hand, XD
Anyway, have a great day, and please review!
