WIP Word Search

Tagged by @jaz-the-bard <3 love u!

How it works: I search for the words assigned to me by the person who tagged me and share the relevant snippets. I then choose four words for others to search in their own WIP(s).

I'm gonna use my Berúthiel WIP! I would like to show it off a bit.

My words: rise, need, shadow, number

-

Rise: no instances in this WIP!

Need:

Still she could not always stay within her nurse’s protection; she needed her respites from any kind of company or attention, so by necessity she grew more adept at finding sitting-places where she would not be noticed by anyone who happened to come near. Cabinets and garden shrubs and old forgotten rooms became her friends; she would sit snug behind shelter and watch, through greenery or keyhole, as the world went by.

Shadow: (cw for gore on this one!)

“Oh!” said her nurse. “Do you mean – but they are wicked people, child – criminals and misbelievers and barbarous foemen. They ought to suffer. No one would do the like to you – not in a thousand years!” “Yes, they would,” Tamar whispered, and did not know how to put into words the truth of what she was saying: that every time, every time, she felt the knife in the sacrifice’s breast slide like a shadow into her own; that she knew how her blood would run from her in rivulets if spilled, because it would run the same way theirs did; that one heart looked the same as another held up in bloodied hands, and if it might as well be hers as theirs, then what difference did it make which bosom it happened to be torn from?

Number:

Tamar watched them until they went around the corner out of sight. Then she crept into the room they had taken the bags and things out of. Inside, just as she had suspected, she found a lot of shelves and a number of barrels, the gaps between which made marvelous crannies to sit in.

I shall tag @halfelven, @edennill, @fingons-rad-harp, and anyone else who wants to! Your words are hope, road, echo, and home.

TOLKIEN LADIES: Berúthiel

Berúthiel lived in the King's House in Osgiliath, hating the sounds and smells of the sea and the house that Tarannon built below Pelargir "upon arches whose feet stood deep in the wide waters of Ethir Anduin;" she hated all making, all colours and elaborate adornment, wearing only black and silver and living in bare chambers, and the gardens of the house in Osgiliath were filled with tormented sculptures beneath cypresses and yews. She had nine black cats and one white, her slaves, with whom she conversed, or read their memories, setting them to discover all the dark secrets of Gondor, so that she knew those things "that men wish most to keep hidden," setting the white cat to spy upon the black, and tormenting them. No man in Gondor dared touch them; all were afraid of them, and cursed when they saw them pass.

I don’t think Beruthiel really tortured her cats. Her husband was just misogynistic and loved to lie
