New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
Prompt: heart, stroke, encounter and fire.
Morwen after Húrin's departure.
Morwen shivered. The fire had long gone down in the hearth, only a few embers keeping total darkness at bay. It was a night like this that Húrin left, clouds obstructing the moon, the howling wind her only company. Her heart constricted at the memory. Was this the doom of the Edaín, that they held only echoes of their lovers’ encounters while war and death claimed them?
Niënor whimpered softly in her lap, and Morwen stroked the girl’s hair, murmuring soft verses to her until she fell back asleep. For her child, she could find solace and strength awhile longer.
