Title : In Gladden Fields
Author : Himring
Fandom : LOTR, Unfinished Tales
Rating : Teens
Characters : Aratan and Ciryon (sons of Isildur)
Disclaimer : There is more detail about the sons of Isildur in the Unfinished Tales than you might think.
Spoilers : For the Disaster of the Gladden Fields.
Summary: The first two sons of Isildur to fall during the disaster of the Gladden Fields were Ciryon and Aratan.

Prince Aratan sees his brother going down under the weight of two large orcs. He remembers the years he and Ciryon spent apart, guarding the Cirith Duath with as many as could be spared from the main attack, sitting in their accustomed alcove in the half-ruined halls of Minas Ithil, reading ominous reports from the Dagorlad, aware how precarious their chances were, if Sauron really tried to break out through the pass westward.

He cannot lose his brother without acting, even though they are all in mortal peril. He dashes towards him and feels the orc blade go in deep.

A/N: Written during one of the SWG Instadrabbling sessions for the prompts: alcove, remembering, prince, guards

Eeek, so vivid! And so sad. I really like these two, and loved Unfinished Tales.
