The Silmarillion - To Know How

Title: To Know How
Fandom: The Silmarillion
Rating: Gen
Notes: None

Anairë has heard that ignorance is bliss.

She is not sure if she believes that or not. Knowing how her youngest son died has been torture.

But she tenses every time someone appears at her door, because she does not know if her other children yet live. She is constantly tense, waiting for somebody to come and tell her that they aren’t.

She knows Nolofinwë is dead, and that he died fighting Morgoth.

But she does not know how, and how is what haunts her thoughts during the day and leaves her screaming in the night.

She wishes she knew.
