Dawn breaks

Summary:

A quiet morning somewhere in Arda.

Notes:

For lferion's art "Pale Sunrise"!

Instead of the Morning of Arda, I wrote about a Morning in Arda (or anywhere else really).
The people in this drabble are unnamed. Perhaps this is Valinor, and it's Fingon & Maedhros, perhaps this is Imladris and it's Elrond & Celebrían, maybe it's someone completely different. The choice is all yours!

Work Text:

Gold (brass) wirework necklace and earrings. Links of pale gold and blue disks of Czech glass with a twelve-pointed star-flower pattern alternate with links of 4mm citrine and 5mm aquamarine. At the center is a yellow rutilated quartz pendant between two links of 8mm aquamarine, 6mm citrine, and 5mm aquamarine. The necklace and earrings are arranged on a blue-black mottled cloth.

For now, the land still lies in shadow, a soft blanket of darkness. The moon has already left the sky, but the stars still shine overhead.

But then, on silent paws, the first rays of sunlight cross the horizon. Quietly creeping, carefully peeping to see if the land is ready for the morning yet.

Soon more rays follow, and more, and more!

Somewhere, someone sits on a balcony and watches the colours bleed back into the world, listening to sleepy feet stumbling around behind the door, the slow sounds of waking up to a pale sunrise.

It’s a good morning.
