Death of a Dream Kheled-zâram. Long ago, Durin stood on its bank and peered into the lake's blue depths. Despite the daylight, seven stars appeared atop the encircling mountains' reflection, seemingly like a crown. Durin's kingship was proclaimed. Mountains of a distant bank would hold the dwarves' greatest kingdom. No dwarf can pass without seeing that hallowed lake. Standing where his ancestor stood, Gimli sees Durin's Crown in Kheled-zâram's reflection. He looks not at the distant bank though. Gimli refuses to gaze there for he knows what the mountains hold. They hold not the great Khazad-dűm. They hold the corpses of family and friends. 1/19/2005 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A/N: Written for the water challenge posted on LiveJournal's Tolkien_weekly community. |
