Fandom : The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit
Rating : PG
Characters : Ori, Gimli
Disclaimer : Ori and Gimli are Tolkien's and this drabble draws on some of Gimli's words in FOTR.
Spoilers : Pre-canon. A bit of foreshadowing, perhaps.
Summary : In the Blue Mountains, quite some time before the Quest for Erebor, Gimli learns a bit of important dwarven lore from Ori.
Ori had done a drawing in the margin of the latest mining accounts. It seemed unusual for careful Ori. Not that the drawing was careless—a precise sketch of three peaks. They were not mountain peaks of the Ered Luin.
‘I dreamed last night,’ said Ori, catching Gimli’s questioning gaze—and when Gimli continued to look puzzled:
‘You do not know them?’
He dipped his pen in the ink and started labelling the peaks. Caradhras Ori wrote. ‘Barazinbar,’ he translated aloud.
Gimli gazed and afterwards he recognized their shapes elsewhere in metal and in stone. Soon he was dreaming, too.
