Wife of the Thain: Old Tales of the Shire

"A dream of silver swans swimming in my mind, lost in isolation..."
- Spiral (Don't Fall), the Cruxshadows



She hears a yearning moan.

She’s frightened into flight.

Flitting across the water, she doesn’t look back to see what sighted her, what creature managed to glimpse one of the Hidden People.

A blue shadow against the darkness, stars and moon alight on the fairness of her skin as she glides away, like a pure, white swan touched silver by the night’s magic.

Suddenly she turns, catching a glimpse of the upturned face of the Thain, and for a moment, her heart stops in her chest.

Then she’s gone. A silver swan swims upon the surface of the lake.
