Once more a gruesome morning had been followed by heated discussions all over the day. Many names have been associated with faithfulness and murder, and the whole island seemed to be at odds with itself. After a long time, it looked as if
Rune,
Son of Bjarne, would be the one to bite the blood-soaked dust of the Holy Mountain this time.
“I don’t see how you can assume me to be a Faithful!” Rune proclaimed loudly
“I am innocent. I curse the name of Eru! No Faithful would ever do that.”
This was, of course, a good evidence and the Númenoreans agreed.
“But then we need somebody else now.” explained
the guy who be short.
“Brinniel is someone else!” Rune threw in quickly and pointed on her. Immediately the people started rhythmically shouting her name.
“What?” shrieked
Brinniel, shocked to the bone
“But you can't lynch me! I curse the name of Eru, too!”
“Yeah, right. I think I’ve heard that one before. Lynch her, I say!” answered
Lalaith.
Too quick for
Brinniel to fight back,
Thinlómien and the
Legate of Amon Lanc took her by the arms and pushed her to the ground. Ignoring her pleads,
Mithalwen took an axe and without hesitation and without the grant of a last wish, she swung it down on her, and
Brinniel’s head was seperated from her body.
“Rejoice, o Melkor” chanted
Mithalwen “One of thy enemies has been dispatchéd!”, but her joy was untimely.
“Wait! See what lies there!” cried
Nogrod.
It looked liek something else but her head has been cut off her neck. A small thing lay inside the puddle of blood. A little pendant it was.
And the pendant beared an image of the Lidless Eye.
Brinniel was innocent.
Yes, there are fools even in Númenor.
