Evenfall by Mercurie
Author: Mercurie
Title: Evenfall
Rating: G
Theme: Pairs
Elements: fire, smoke
Summary: Night falls on Arwen Evenstar.
Word Count: 100
Smoke streamed away into a clear, windy day. Arwen barely looked at the fire. In the years after, it wasn't the pyre that dogged her – bright and brief as the life it honored – but the smoke.
She saw smoke in the gray eyes of her people, the last of the evening light – the sullen colors she herself wore in mourning. The aging smell of it lingered, as she lingered, no matter how she sought to bury it in the gilded green freshness of forest and lake. It clung: a ghost. Its chill could outlast the fiercest fire.
