Awakening
by North-took
Drabble. Luthien awakens as a mortal.
Rating: PG
* * *
Luthien's eyes open. She feels as though she has been asleep, save that she has never slept so heavily or with her eyes closed. A strange weariness weights upon her.
She hears Beren stir and realization washes over her. She is mortal now and all will be different. She is different, fundamentally altered by her choice.
"Tinuviel?" Beren's hand reaches for hers. He is her anchor to Middle Earth even though she has chosen to someday follow him beyond the circles of the world. He is sunrise to her twilight, opposites that cannot exist without each other.
"I'm here, beloved."
