Love, Not Wisdom (Drabbles about Men) by Elrond's Library  

Not Enough (Celebrimbor & Namo)

Prompt: faint, light, voice, calm

  Námo’s  presence was quiet in the Halls. He stepped lightly, slippers whispering over stone and carpet. He kept a calm voice, an attentive mein, a faint smile, throughout the centuries, even as the inhabitants of his realm – hurting, grieving, sick – raged and wept. The light of stars wheeled overhead as he traversed the Halls, searching for one particular fëa. He found it alone in a long hallway, staring at a tapestry.
   “Come, young one. You have waited long enough. He who has done evil to you has returned to Eru, and you will be safe in Aman. Come.”
   “And if I refuse?” the fëa of Celebrimbor whispered.
   “Such a thing is your choice. But this is not a place for you. You yearn for the wind and the trees and the stars, do you not?”
   “I do. I yearn for family and craft. But it is not enough to yearn.”
