silwritersguildOkay, so I'll stop with the corny acrostic style subject line...
Here is my entry for Finarfin Appreciation Month. A drabble on the knightly virtue Courage. (If you'd like to see all seven virtues, you can go to my journal).
Courage
He stood, the icy wind whipping his hair around him, with the north road to his left and the traveled path to his right. People called out, but he heeded none.
Why do you tarry?
What are you thinking on?
Why have you come?
The last thought his own, he turned to watch the last of the caravan walk toward him, then past him. He sighed and steeled himself.
Behind him, his brothers, his sons, his people, walked on in search of glory and of new lands. But for him, one step forward led him down the lonely road home.
Since we seem to have a rather uncheerful trend going on, I'm going to try giving the poor elf some chocolate and see if I can't turn out a happy!Finarfin piece next time!

Noldor ought really to seen disaster coming.
They certainly are a "leap before looking" bunch, aren't they??

Hmmm, good point!! Maybe he did realize that...

Date: 2006-01-15 04:35 am (UTC)Haha, yes, he can be rather likeable...Just don't tell him that he's like Feanor!

Date: 2006-01-16 08:55 pm (UTC)I like the fact that you brought out Finarfin's own variety of courage in this. It irks me to hear him called a wimp all the time. Really, he had no idea what awaited him back in Valinor. For all he knew, the Valar would kick him right back out again, and he'd be crawling back to his brothers with his tail between his legs.
Not to mention what reconstructing Valinor, Tirion, and Alqualonde must have involved, after the murder of Finwe, the death of the Trees, the kinslaying, and the exile of 90% of the Noldorin population.

That would have really sucked...
Hmmmm...*ponders*

Shyeah, really...because I'm sure the Teleri were just chomping at the bit to help...It would've been chaotic. Cooperation? What's that?
