rakshathedemon asked for Faramir meets Galadriel, or Glorfindel.

Day 350

as part of the An Elf-lord Revealed series.

The Hand Of History

Faramir stepped outside into the cooler night air to catch his breath at last after a long day of celebrating the King’s wedding. As he gazed up at the stars, he reflected that ever since Elessar had called him home, he had felt caught up in a story or legend. And now he had dined with the brother of Elros, first king of Númenor....

"May I join you?" Almost noiseless footfalls at his side.

"Of course, Lord Glorfindel." Faramir bowed. And here was one whose fate was twined with the last of Anárion’s line. Would it be unmannerly to ask...?

Faramir must have felt like the kid-in-the-candy-store; all these great Elves with so much knowledge of Numenor, Gondor, and the history of Arda. I imagine that many Gondorians were excited, to say the least, at the sight of so many Elves, mysterious beings out of occasionally sinister legends, actually living and breathing and talking. The bards must have been frantically taking notes, or at least mental shorthand...

Nicely done - I really wish you'd write some longer Faramir pieces.
