Summary: At the rising of the Moon



Light — new and astonishing and utterly unexpected — glittered silver-white on spear-point and sword-edge, sparked mithril-white fire from the depths of clear gems and chatoyant, sheened ice-white on polished metal and lacquered wood, made dazzling white mirrors of the quartz and mica in the granite beneath their feet.

Made the shadows obsidian-sharp, onyx-black, soot-black. Shadows to swallow one up utterly, as a doorway into the Void.

And yet, equally unlooked-for and even more astonishing, out of those shadows stepped Nolofinwe and Artanis, Findarato and Findekano and a host of others, sharp-faced and bitter-edged from travail; more welcome than the Moon.
