Season: The Hobbit: Fanfic: Nûlukh Askâd (Moon Shadows)
Title: Nûlukh Askâd (Moon Shadows)
Fandom: The Hobbit
Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: N/A
Author notes: Thanks go to Zana especially, and Morgynleri for encouragement & sanity-checking. There is more to this than the one drabble currently posted. Hopefully I will finish the last two in time before the deadline, and edit the rest of them in. This one does stand on it's own, though. I hope.
Summary: Some said that an eclipse on Durin's Day was herald of calamity.
Some said that an eclipse on Durin's Day was herald of calamity. (What calamity they did not say: the Balrog in Khazad-Dum, Smaug descending on Erebor, the fall of Beleriand were none of them so marked.) Others held that such wonder in the heavens could only presage an equal wonder: the return of Durin himself. The astronomers and those who made study of the stately dance of fixed and unfixed stars shook their heads at such foolishness, but track the patterns they observed and record the movements of sun and moon and stars they would, with both exactitude and delight.
