After long days of strife and argument there came a day at last where the villagers’ opinion was almost unanimous. They knew now whom to blame for all the atrocious nightly deeds.

“Gil-Galad it is!” Kitanna cried “Let us tie him up and hang him!”

“Can you not see the error of your decision? I am no Faithful!” Gil-Galad said in his defense, but it was futile. Already Mithalwen and Durelin had overwhelmed him and tied him up. Much more Gil brought forward, ever growing more desperate and pleading for his life.

“You are making a graver mistake than you are aware of!” he said, but the others simply laughed at him.

“We know that you are a Faithful. There is no need now to deny it. You have Eressëan blood; half a Noldo you are!” Kitanna explained, and she did not say it with love, not in these days.

Finally, he was brought to the gallows. Muttering and silent curses were the last things that were heard from Gil-Galad, before Kitanna operated the trap-door with satisfaction.

“Rejoice, o Anadûne! Another Faithful hath bitten thy dust!”

But Lalaith spoke up silently: “Um, shouldn’t we at least check whether he truly was faithful?”

“Gladly I will do as you bid me” answered Kitanna, searching Gil-Galad’s hanging body “For a proof of Gil-Galad’s guilt let me now show you his... ranger sword?... engraved with runes for the bane of Eru?”

“But... but didn’t we say that he was a Faithful?” stuttered Hookbill petrified.

“But that does not make it so.” answered Lalaith, shaking her head.

The Númenoreans have lynched their ranger, their protector in the sunless hours. Affected they walked back to their village, now fearing the night.

For the dark was no longer wholesome in this land.
