Tengwar: To The Letter by cuarthol

Silmë (starlight)

The sunset was a surprise, too!
(No warnings.  Drabble)

The first sunset was as astonishing to Nuin as sunrise had been.  He spoke reassuring words to Ermon and Elmir, and the others who had awoken.  He taught them to make fire, and the Secondborn gathered around the light in fear of the darkness.

Nuin could not tell them the light would return, for he did not know.  But he had ever lived his life without it, and did not fear its leaving.  Instead he led Ermon and Elmir out beyond the reach of the fire’s light to cast their gazes upward, basking rather in the light of the stars.

Chapter End Notes

Nuin was an Elf in BoLT pt I who found the first Men while they still slept, watched over them, and eventually woke the first two, Ermon and Elmir, who saw the first sunrise itself.
