Summary: Amras considers his future and that of his House when he holds a newborn baby.
Archives: Silmarillion Writers Guild, Quills & Ink and OSA.
Disclaimer: Amras belongs to the Professor Tolkien and his estate.
Author Introduction: This double drabble is written for Isil Elensar ánd for Seven in '07 project for the Silmarillion Writers Guild.

It was simply amazing: a small child this delicate and complete. Amras tried to look up to the doting parents but could not break away his gaze from this little creature who slept contentedly in his arms, completely unaware of the rest of the world. Amras knew that long ago many gazed down on him in the same manner as they imparted words of wisdom despite the fact that he was the seventh son of Fëanor. Yet, he knew that his brother was new to this, the excitement in his voice followed by the realisation that he would be responsible for this baby’s future.

What would await this little one? Would his fate be different than theirs? If they would restore the honour of this House, this small baby would have a blissful life. Their lives suddenly became so different after their grandfather was brutally murdered.

We simply must, Amras thought to himself once he handed the child to his brother. If we manage to achieve this, peace would return in their hearts and loves would be rekindled. Then all could start anew with regained energy and love. At least for this little one’s future, he was willing to try.

I just knew you would!!!

Yay! Amras! And it is a worthy cause to fight for. One, I think, that is common to all who are kin to a newborn, one so innocent and new - you want to protect them and make the world a great place for them to live in. This was a wonderful glimpse of a neglected character, Rhapsody.

It was my first time that I wrote Amras in a stand alone work. He became quite chatty once I prodded him more. Anyway, as the youngest of the seven it would be his first baby to hold and ah that feeling of wonder... I am happy that came across!

He became quite chatty once I prodded him more.

He does that. ;-) Him and his twin, both! And then occasionally, they each have an ear and it gets rather interesting...

Do they need to be prodded for that? I hadn't even invited them over, when they took over a hunting scene, and wanted to show off baby birds and what not! But chatty is a very good word for them. :)
