The Hero's Tomb
“When the tale of the long years of Fram Worm-slayer were told at last, his people howe-laid him, with spear and sword and shield at his side, and on his breast the necklace of Scatha's teeth, hard-won.
“Then the stars clustered together above the mound to hold a star-arval in his honour. And some amongst them saw the stars of Evermind that flickered and danced below, and were enamoured of their earthly counterparts. Wherefore, then, when the other stars returned each to their homes, these seven stayed, partnering their mortal kin until Fram wakes and walks the world once more.”
The Traveller
“On a time, a new monster arose in the East whose breath brought pestilence. Seeing the people hard-pressed, a high-hearted warrior rode West over the wide plains to fetch Fram from the Halls of the Dead. Enchantments were set about his steed's feet, and he came but hardly to the Doors of the Dead, and was admitted.
“Then Béma, hearing of his people's plight, brought forth the Wild Hunt, driving the beast away. But the Traveller, having trod where living men may not, was charged to ride the borders of the night, to carry news of evil should it come.”
Perfect Union
Faramir, laughing, slid his arms around his wife to draw her close. “But this is the tale of Eärendil, save he has four feet under him rather than a keel!”
Éowyn, resisting his embrace, gave him a doubtful look. “Are all our tales from the North, then, only pale shadows of yours?”
“Nay,” Faramir gentled her cheek with his thumb. “But once, I think, the fathers of your kin and mine were brothers.” Letting herself be soothed, she leaned against him. “You and I unite long-sundered peoples, and I would have our children carry forward what is good from both.”
