Very interesting idea - that Elwing hated the Silmaril. I really like how you describe her thoughts about it, and I especially like the end.

Aside from the fact that I'm thrilled to see you starting to post here (*squee!*), I loved the look at Elwing that you gave her. Her resentment toward the Silmaril makes a great deal of sense to me, and it makes me feel even more sympathetic toward her than I already did - and the glimpses at Dior and Nimloth and Lúthien were were wonderful and made them appear much more real and alive to me than a lot of other stories. And then there's the foreshadowing toward the end - glorious and subtle, so I think it's safe to say I really enjoyed this read. Thanks for sharing this, and welcome to the SWG. :)
