Feedback: I'd like to know what you think of my story.
Story Notes: This is an AU story,written after a very good
Russian book called "Black Book of Arda",which is also
called a "Black Silmarillion" in fandom.It describes
the story of Silmarillion from Melkor's point of view,and how it
happend regarding him and his followers.
There are many debates around this book in Russian fandom.
Melkor was walking from his big throne chamber.So unneeded,it
was. No one needed it but those coming to him,those wanting him
to be a Dark Lord.
The one he truly wasn't.
He entered his own chamber with a sigh,remembering the pain
of disbelief he met in Valar's eyes when he told them that there
was no need to redo the world of Ea - it already existed and was
beautiful in its freedom. Not like Iluvatar wanted. It still
hurt,even though the time flowed on mercifully.The
rejecton.Self-exile.
And then Melkor lifted his gaze and saw - Gorthauer sitting
near the window in the big chair.
Why? He came here?
Gorthauer was asleep.Dear,he must have waited for Melkor and
fell asleep.His face now was calm and even more beautiful than
ever.
He was sitting in the chair,his hands falling at his sides.
His chest was bare and covered only with some kind of dark scarf.
Rise and fall,rise and fall.
The sound of heartbeat...
sound of breathing...
Melkor reached and brushed aside a strand of silken hair from
Gorthauer's face.Couldn't leave that warm skin,his hand lingered
on dear face.Slowly, Gorthauer opened his clear eyes and looked
at Melkor.
- Tano... I was waiting for you...
So childishly,so openly.But he was no child.He was one of the
strongest,and the most powerful of all Maiar.No,not Maia,but
Fairni.Son of the Soul, and not the Tool like Maiar.
- What did you want from me?
Still touching his cheek...
- I wanted to say that you shouldn't tire yourself so
much,Tano. Your eyes...they are so tired and life fades from
them... I do not want you to suffer like this! - with last words
Gorthauer grabbed Melkor's hand and kept it close to his
face,not wanting to let go. - Damn those Valar,they're still
torturing you,even though you're not in Valinor anymore!How can
they?!They do not understand!
- You are forgetting that I am one of Valar also.
- You're not like them!You...you care!You love the world and
you protect it!And they...they just fulfill Eru's whims!Manve
and his Varda do not understand and only pretend merciful and
just! Tulkas hates you openly and Yavanna cannot understand the
balance of nature although she herself created it!And Iluvatar
plays with them and their Maiar like with marionettes!If he told
Aule to destroy the Dwarves,he would have done it,eventhough
they were alive!
You 'do' see everything...so much like me.You can see through
them.And...you remember it all.
Again...you didn't forget how Aule betrayed your trust. His
betrayal is what led you to me.But...are you here because...
- And I don't think I will ever be able to forgive him
this.But I am staying with you not because of it.
- And why do you stay?
Anger faded from his features,gaze softened and a genuine
smile lit his face.
- I am with you because I love you.Mellt'e-tei,Tano Melkor.
He spoke my name.It's the first time I hear you calling me
other than 'Tano',your teacher.Does it truly mean that I am not
only a teacher to you?
- I love you.But I know,you cannot belong to me alone...not
that I really want it.If you were only for me alone,I wouldn't
be able to love you like this.I love you the way you are now...
you care...
A fly probably feels like this when caught in a web.I am in a
total loss when I hear you saying again and again 'I love you'.
I do not know what to do,I do not want to hurt you.Gorthauer,
you are so dear to me...I wouldn't be able to go on without you.
And this also means...that...that I...
- I think I also love you,Gorthauer.
- Truly?
Never before I saw you so expectant,so hopeful and yet you
looked like you were expecting a deadly blow straight to your
heart.
- Yes.I need you and never want to part from you.I love - you.
- Mellt'e-tei?
- Mellt'e-tei,Orthenner.
The language of the Darkness...gives special meaning to
simple words.Ahe - Darkness.Ae - Light.Gele - Star.Tano -
teacher. Tairni - pupil.
Melkor - Love for the World.
Orthenner - The One Wielding the Power of Flame. Mellt'e-tei -
Love of the Soul,I love you.
When you speak in the Dark,your voice is changing.It
discovers tones and whispers and sighs you cannot hear in Common
speech.
You look at my lips.I cannot help but smile to myself - you,so
ever confident and strong,now tremble at the thought of a kiss.
Gorthauer watched Melkor in fascination as he lowered on his
knees to be at his eye level and slowly moved closer. Melkor
took his Orthenner's face in his hands and gently pressed their
lips together.
The kiss was so gentle and yet needful and fiery. Gorthauer in
his wildest dreams couldn't imagine that Melkor's lips would be
so soft and careful.The feathery caress continued for it seemed
an eternity and then they broke apart.
One look in your eyes and I crush you to my chest... and I
could do no other thing.
End
Notes:
The language which Melkor calls 'the Language of Darkness' was
the language his followers Dark Elves,Elleri Ahe,spoke.
Gorthauer (pronounces like 'gort-ha-u-ehr') is the name given to
Sauron by Melkor.It is actually 'Orthenner',but Elleri Ahe spoke
it like this.
Pronounces like this - Ort-henner,Elleri A-he. Mellt'e-tei
pronounces like - Mellt-e-teh-ee
