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.”

So November 2's prompt from Nancy Stohlman was "Write about a man who has at least three cats." I can think of several of my Elves who I headcanon as having cats, but while 'man' could just mean 'male', I took it to mean Man, and weirdly the first one that came into my head as possibly having many cats was...Beren. I don't have any reason for this, except that Huan loves him so it would be funny for him to also be a cat person
