‘I am so sorry, Mother, I cannot come to Valmar with you, even now,’ said Findis.
They stood on the slopes of Taniquetil. There was no light, of course there was still no light, except for starlight faintly reflecting off patches of snow.
Indis could not even see Tuna and the Calacirya, now, where her life and love had ended brutally as if buried in a landslide, merely glimpse the walls of the Pelori as a deeper shadow.
‘I can neither dwell among Vanyar nor in Tirion,’ said Findis, embracing her. ‘Know you take my love down with you, nevertheless.’
Chapter End Notes
Refers to Findis as a hermit on Taniquetil, my uncanonical take on the character featured in other ficlets.
The drabble acquired its title during finweanladiesweek on Tumblr.
