(The tale of) Finiël 's necklace

*Rewritten* Finiël was fairest of all ~ My tribute to Lord Of The Rings - All rights belong to J.R.R. Tolkien except those characters which ones I have invented myself =)

~~It happened once in Middle-Earth that in Lórien was born a daughter to Irimë and to an unknown Silvan Elven of Lórien and they gave her the name Finiël ~~

(Irimë House of Finwë whose parents were Finwë & Indis).

And this is the tale of Finiël's necklace. 

Finiël from the House of Finwë was the most beautiful and graceful elven-maiden of her time. Raven haired and grey eyes like morning mist. A graceful face she had and a noble and wise heart. And her kin loved her greatly. She loved singing. At the time of spring she was walking in the woods under the golden leaves and singing with the birds. She sang of those Western Lands, sang of all those distant memories which were no longer remembered otherwise except for all the elders. Thus she was the fairest.

But later Finiël moved to Imladris where she met a mortal man. A noble and wise chief of Gondor who loved her deeply. Very elven like were his facial features. He had dark hair and brown eyes.

Finiël's necklace was a gift from him to her. Silver chain which was described as a silver tree bark of Mallorn, those trees of Lórien.

There was one blue jewel which was rain drop-shaped. Blue was Finiël's favorite color. It was just as bright blue as the waterfalls of Lórien. She sat many times at the waterfall listening to the sound of water. Perhaps she heard Ulmo's (Lord of the Waters) voice whispering when the water sang to her.

Finiël wedded him in Lórien, near by the waterfall which bear another elven-maiden name. Soon after that she gave birth to a daughter. They lived together in Lórien for many happy years which were filled with great happiness.

But suddenly Finiël's husband disappeared on his way to see her on his travel from Gondor to Lórien. He died at orc's ambush and even before the news reached Lórien they told that Finiël had suddenly turned quite pale and sat quiet and motionless for a long time.

After those sad news Finiël died soon of broken heart and before that she gave her necklace to her daughter.

 

Finiël's necklace thus it will be called ~ Also known as Finiël's tear.

 

and it is a painful memory of love that disappeared from the Middle-Earth too soon.

The story is wonderful and sad. You create story line, good characters and strong ending. I wanted to read more. The why, who, where, when and how the characters found their final places. Thank you dear Sarah for sharing your amazing words.

My many humble thanks to you. I might write in the future more about Finiël and her journey. The characters that you create will be very familiar and dear (to you) and sometimes (it seems that) the story has not end. =)

I'm glad. I would enjoy more story.

[~Sarah~ Idríel The Fair]

There is no end to the stories. =)

If you Love Tolkien, as did I,
(not the movies though, pissed me off, though Jackson did direct it well, left too much out and Eli as Frodo = fail)
I recommend checking out the HBO series Games of Thrones, you'll s**t bricks on account of how good it is... the book series though is a bit of a hard read, unless you have photographic memory. It's middleEarth-like fantasy at it's epic greatest-ness, absolutely hands down recommend checking it out.

the poem: it's a little hard for me to imagine as a song, but it does ring of beautifully crafted middleEarth like tones... recommend sending it to KateTheGreat over on youtube or trying to get a hold of her somehow else and see if she could implement it for you (she isn't that famous, so she should probably do it for you). here's a link to her page: http://www.youtube.com/user/katethegreat19
