The Omen by Ellynn

Fanwork Notes

Theme of the LJ challenge: Believe it or not

Element: Shuddery

Beta: Larner *hugs*

Author's notes: In history, comets were often considered the heralds of wars, famine and death, so I use that motive in this story. Of course, in our world, the nature of comets is today well known; in the story, I give them supernatural origin.

In reality, comets rarely appear reddish, but this is only a story anyway; and if they are something supernatural, why wouldn't they be red? :)

The word comet is derived from the greek word kometes, which means "a star with hair".

"When the world is old and the Powers grow weary, then Morgoth shall come back through the Door out of the Timeless Night; (...) Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor." (HoME, vol. IV, p. 165)
