tolkien100Title : Minul-Tarik
Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion, History of Middle-earth
Rating : PG13
Characters : OFC
Disclaimer : Tolkien wrote the Akallabeth, Himring added a pair of separated lovers.
Spoilers : For the loss of Numenor and for my story "The Crane and the Crow"
Summary : Numenor is gone. Inzilmith has escaped with Elendil and looks back on a lost homeland and a lost love.
The Numenor that Elendil mourns is not one Inzilmith remembers. For her, it was never the Land of Gift, of luxury and learning. She worked just as hard, for less gain and respect. Nevertheless, she, too, mourns Akallabeth, forever separated from the Lady who put her life in danger and saved it and herself fell to the Zigur. Sometimes Inzilmith still closes her eyes, trying to recall the scent of sandalwood. Sometimes she still looks, inadvertently, for the Pillar of Heaven, even though she was there to see the heavens crash down and the sea rise up to meet them.
A/N: Inzilmith is an OFC from my story The Crane and the Crow. Minul-Târik (Pillar of Heaven) is the Adûnaic name of the mountain of Meneltarma, about which the Numenoreans might perhaps have felt similarly as Japanese artists do about Fuji: always expected to be somewhere in the background. The drabble was also written for Silmladylove's prompt for 24 February: Minal, the Adûnaic word for “The heavens, sky”. The first element of Minul-Târik is a case form of Minal. (Also, Akallabêth means “She-that-is-fallen” and could therefore also apply to a woman.)
