Still back in Middle-earth!

And back where it all began...

Another b2mem ficlet, this one written for this Day Five prompt, which resolves to Cuiviénen:

Long they dwelt in their first home by the water under stars, and they walked the Earth in wonder; and they began to make speech and to give names to all things that they perceived. Themselves they named the Quendi, signifying those that speak with voices; for as yet they had met no other living things that spoke or sang.

I hope this fic makes at least a smidgeon of sense. To my mind, the Cuivienyarna (and the canon associated with it) has always been a bit confusing. Anyway, this is my headcanon now:



( The Firstborn of the Firstborn )
