Battle Cry by Himring

Chapter 3

‘They have a request,’ said Vardilme.

Finarfin, who had come out to greet the host of rebel thralls from Dor-lomin, asked: ‘What is it?’

Glorwendil, who carried their makeshift banner, stepped forward and said: ‘If we go to fight the Black Foe again on Anfauglith, let it be with our old battle cry.’

‘A fair request,’ said Finarfin. ‘But what is it? I fear I do not know.’

‘Flame Light! Flee Night! It has not been heard since my lord Fingon died,’ said Berion.
