A fragment of a rohirric nursery rhyme, presumably about the death of prince Baldor.

Two great bards meet during the Sack of Sirion. Written for the SWG Challenge "On a Different Page." 

Prompt from Mythopoeia:

“Such isles they saw afar, and ones more fair, 

and those that hear them yet may yet beware. 

They have seen Death and ultimate defeat, 

and yet they would not in despair retreat, 

but oft to victory have turned the lyre 

and kindled hearts with legendary fire, 

illuminating Now and dark Hath-been 

with light of suns as yet by no man seen.”

On an ordinary day in SA 1697, Narvi is - as often before - losing herself in work.

On that same day, standing in a chamber of torture and looking at the battered body of the Elf he once proclaimed a friend, Annatar - better known as Sauron - realises that the Noldo is as stubborn as his grandfather, and will not reveal the location of the Three Rings.

Delirious with bloodloss, desperate to thwart the evil he naively helped create, to make the pain stop, Celebrimbor remembers a snippet of an old bedtime story, the calm voice of his uncle speaking.

He knows the Songs of Power, knows how his House could do fantastical things through song, but he never really believed in the Song of Souls... until he is standing in an unfamiliar workshop, staring at a heart-breakingly familiar face.
