It was late at night in the village that would come to be known as Dol-in-Gaurhoth. All of the villagers had sought their respective homes, and all of them should have been in bed.

But not all of them were.

Two of the villagers, seemingly harmless by day, had transformed into hideous beasts, and while they prowled the village looking for an ideal victim, there was one other villager awake.

The tired figure of Lhunardawen remained awake in her shop, trying to create a pizza that would divine the secrets of Werewolves. A Lhunatic thing to do, perhaps, but after the deaths of Formendacil, Nilpaurion, Alcarillo, and now Alcarillo's apprentice, Meneltarmacil, Lhuna was running out of options.

Yet again, she had been visited by a spirit of the dead, but the dead villager's thoughts on one of her suspects were no more lucid or helpful than her own thoughts were. But the spirit had insights, and was certainly more objective in death than in life, and Lhuna had every intention of conveying the ideas to the village in the morning.

But the Wolves did not have any such intentions. For unbeknownst to Lhuna, it was that very potion pizza person that the Wolves stalked that night. Even as the spirit of the dead departed, and Lhuna found herself completely without inspiration, the door of her shop opened, and two hairy beasts strode in.

Lhuna lunged for Formendacil's sword, which she had shamelessly taken possession of since his passing. One of the Werewolves, missing it's tail, halted a moment, recognizing the blade.

But the other continued forward, growling. With a mighty leap, it lunged at her. The tailless Werewolf circled around, and attacked from behind.

Lhuna didn't stand a chance. Soon, the cuts and bites of the Werewolves had left her covered in blood, and with several broken bones. As she lay on the floor, waiting for the Werewolves to finish her off, she suddenly became aware that the two beasts had stopped moving, and that their backs bristled with fury.

Between her and the Werewolves, a silvery figure appeared, wielding a sword that looked identical to the one the Wolves had knocked out of her hand. The tall figure looked rather familiar, very much like one Formendacil who had been slain by the same Werewolves.

"Be gone!" said the spirit, forebodingly. Hesistantly, the Wolves obeyed, with one last snarl at Lhunardawen.

The spirit turned to the broken woman on the floor.

"They shall trouble thee no more."

"What are you doing here!" gasped the dying pizza person. "You're dead! Gone beyond the circles of Arda!"

"I have lingered for but a short time, until my death is avenged," said Formendacil.

"Then you should have come sooner, and saved me from this!" said Lhunardawen.

"The dead may not always interfere with the living," said Formendacil. "Because of our kinship, I may be with thee in these last hours, and to spare thee the final blows of the Werewolves. But I may not, and can not, save thee."

"Well," said Lhunardawen, her voice growing weaker as her blood poured out. "If we're just going to sit here, can you tell me who the Werewolves are?"



Dawn came to the village, and the villagers gathered again in their village square. But Lhunardawen was not among them. When they made their way to her shop, and discovered her broken body, they were amazed to see that it was neatly arranged, as if death had come slowly, with time to reflect. And there was no explaining the exasperated and annoyed- but loving- smile on her face.

"So she is dead then," said Cailin. "I feared it was so."

Night 7 is over, Day 7 is begun.
