Warnings: multiple canonical character death
Characters: Andvir
Disclaimer: The death of Turin's outlaws on Amon Rudh is by Tolkien; so is the character of Andvir, Androg's son, but as far as I know Tolkien never completely wrote him into the narrative. This is just one way of imagining the scene.
A/N: This drabble shows Andvir sharing his experiences, later, probably in dialogue with Dirhavel (author of the Narn).
`I had been sent on an errand to another camp,’ said Andvir. ‘As I returned, the sun was setting and, as I approached, I remember how red the hilltop looked. But I thought nothing of it, just the seregon still in bloom and the sunset…’
‘And it was not?’
‘I guess it was, in truth, but I soon found signs of battle and, when I climbed the steps to the summit, there was blood all over the rocks. I stumbled about and, in my rising fear, I almost fell across my father’s body. He lay dead, and Neithan was gone.’
A/N: "Seregon", the name of the plant growing on Amon Rudh, translates as "blood stone". Neithan is Turin's name among the outlaws.
