Fic: Land's End
Title: Land's End
Fandom: The Silmarillion
Major Characters/Pairings: Setting as character - Numenor
Wordcount: 100 words
Rating: PG
POV: Third person
Summary: Look to the West.
Notes: Originally written as giftfic for bold_seer
There’s a wildness here.
The ships leave eastward and return. The havens welcome them back to fountains, firelight, tall flowering trees. But to the west, there’s only ocean, and sunset on darkening waters, and sometimes a glimpse, on clear days, of distant towers across the waves. Seabirds nest in the cliffs above the shore, white as surf, white as sails, and where they fly is where they will. They too return, with yearning cries. The cliffs are home. The isle is home. The kin of Eärendil followed a star this far – no farther.
Have mortals ever been content with that?
