hhimring: Estel, inscription by D. Salo (Default)

Title : Survivor
Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion, History of Middle-earth
Rating : PG13
Characters : Edhellos, wife of Angrod
Disclaimer : The Battle of Sudden Flame is Tolkien's. He does not tell us whether Edhellos was there or what happened to her.
Spoilers : It's the Silmarillion: everyone dies except Galadriel (and, in my 'verse, Edhellos). That's not a spoiler.
Summary : Edhellos survives the fall of Dorthonion in the Battle of Sudden Flame.

Edhellos was not foresighted, unlike her husband. It was not until she reached the top of the ridge and felt the sheer blast of heat mixed with smoke and black malice strike her from the right that she understood that he had not sent her riding pell-mell westwards to get help.

‘I’ll get you for this, Angrod,’ she hissed, remembering, too late, the expression on his face.

Which might be a difficult promise to keep. Would she see him again before the End of Days?

She did not turn or slow the horse. She would save whoever she still could.


A/N: I'm multi-tasking. This is also for the Travelling challenge on Tolkien Weekly and Arafinwean week.
