Withdrawal Strategies

This piece isn't new but I believe I never posted it publicly (that wasn't under lock, that is), because it was written in connection with a WIP that is on hiatus. It does stand on its own, though.

So I thought that maybe it could make a contribution for @secondageweek? (Sorry for not managing to write anything entirely new.)

Setting: Tol Eressea and Alqualonde. No specific warnings, although this is set during the time when Pharazon invades.

Edhellos stood looking into the Master-Stone.

‘They are coming,’ she reported.

‘Understood,’ Olwe answered through his own Palantir. ‘Get yourself to safety. Now!’

‘We are going,’ Edhellos reassured him.

She and her assistants, the last Elves remaining in Avallone, eased the Stone from its lodging into a big sling. They would hide with it in the forest. Pharazon would not find them.

Olwe lowered the Palantir.

‘Give the signal to disperse,’ he ordered.

Flags were hoisted up, blood-red, one after the other. Seashell horns rang out.

The great fleet of the Teleri departed, leaving Alqualonde entirely abandoned. North and south, they sought shelter among the Enchanted Islands. This time, whatever happened to their city, their ships would be safe.

hi! i'm late with this recommendation, but i recommend the outlander series for historical fiction. it goes a bit into science fiction with elements of time travel, as well as having a love story as central to the plot, but the historical aspects are well-researched and the novels themselves well-written and engaging, one of my favorite series despite its faults.

ah thank you very much for sending this in, dearest!!

O forse sì, ce la poteva fare.

A non tornare più nei luoghi dove sapeva che non c'era niente.

Si lasciò cadere sulla panchina alla fermata dell'autobus.
