Title : Well, We're Back
Author : Himring
Fandom : Lord of the Rings
Rating : PG
Characters : OFC (Dunedain), Elrohir
Disclaimer : Angmar's attack on Arnor is Tolkien's. So is his drawing of the Misty Mountains.
Spoilers : This is set in the early Fourth Age, so the spoilers are either for the whole of LOTR, I guess, or none at all.
Summary: Not only Annuminas and Fornost are re-settled, early in the Fourth Age.

She had her first sight of the place after sunset. The peaks of the Hithaeglir still gleamed white, all else was tinged blue in the evening light. The state of the keep on the island was difficult to guess at. But she could make out enough to recognize the scene from the stories passed on to her from past generations.

‘This is it,’ she said to Elrohir, not asking for confirmation.

He nodded. ‘We should wait here till morning,’ he advised.

She agreed. Tomorrow would be early enough to begin reclaiming the ancestral seat lost so long ago to Angmar.

A/N: This was written for an image prompt at the SWG's image insta-drabbling event. The image showed a painting by J. Mortimer Tarantula, in tones of blue, depicting a keep on an island in a lake. The mountains in the background reminded me of Tolkien's drawings of the Misty Mountains.

I like the idea of them reclaiming all they can of what was lost.

That's a lovely scene!

Ooh, a nice beginning!

[hhimring]

It seems to me that the Dunedain would be likely to do that, if they could!
Thank you!

[hhimring]

Thank you very much!

Thank you!
It almost seems to call out for more, but I have no ideas, yet.
