This drabble is a translation from french (and I think the french version is far better). If you find some english mistakes, please tell !
« Go away, quick ! », Maedhros shouts.
She can only call him « Maedhros ». It is not Maitimo anymore, or Nelyo, her dear cousin tall as a wise tree, older than Arafinwë her father, and laughing when he took her upon his shoulders. It is no longer the eldest with the calm smile, his heir’s brow distinguished by a copper circle... It is not even the survivor, trying to contain with one hand the violent quadriga of his brothers.
It’s an unknown man, covered with red blood. His blade still dripping.
« Run away ! », he repeats.
On the other side of the carved room, Galadriel, all in armor, her sword held out in a false confident gesture, stayed petrified a few seconds, when she saw him passing the door.
She runs away.

« Vite, va-t'en ! », s'exclame Maedhros.
Elle ne peut l'appeler que « Maedhros ». Ce n'est plus Maitimo, ou Nelyo, son cher cousin grand comme un arbre sage, plus âgé qu'Arafinwë son père, et riant quand il la prenait sur ses épaules. Ce n'est plus l'aîné au calme sourire, son front d'héritier ceint par un cercle de cuivre... Ce n'est même plus le survivant tentant de maintenir d'une unique main le quadrige violent de ses frères.
C'est un inconnu, couvert de sang rouge. La lame dégouttant encore.
« Va-t'en ! », répète-t-il.
De l'autre côté de la salle, Galadriel, toute en armure, l'épée tendue en un geste mal assuré, est restée pétrifiée quelques secondes, en le voyant passer la porte.
Elle s'enfuit.
