Visiting Ghosts
Ordering his escort to remain at the markers, he rode alone into the deserted courtyard. Dismounting slowly, he scanned the scene in front of him: the broken doors set askew, the piles of leaves in the corners, the webs over the masonry, the broken well casing. His heart suddenly constricted in his chest and he fell to his knees in pain and sorrow.
“Oh Atar,” he whispered. “I miss your wisdom, I miss your guidance, but most of all I miss your love so much.” And his tears fell onto the pavement below him. He rose stiffly to his feet and entered the building.
After a long time, he exited the ruined doorway of what had become the fulcrum for the division of the Noldor and remounted his horse. And as he rode away from Formenos over the hilltop, a gentle breeze of farewell caressed the face of the Noldorin King.

Thank you. I love it when stories write themselves and this one did. I really feel for Arafinwe, returning to that scene after so long to try and put his own ghosts to rest. Thank you for reading and reviewing, you rock!

That's a painful moment. But then, there were so many tragedies in that family.

I think that their perseverence through their tragedies is one of the many reasons why I adore the Finwean family. Thanks for reading and reviewing, you are making my day very special.
