Summary: Sauron's "black thoughts" in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. This was written for the current tolkien_weekly prompt, 'Loving Companionship', but since it doesn't fit with the rest of the drabbles I'm doing for this challenge I thought I'd post it separately here now.

Eilinel
Eilinel. She was called Eilinel.
In a bubble of blood, she gasped out his name, and died. Such fragile beasts. She was ruined, though, her skin shredded and her bones broken, so I didn’t keep the body. It went to the wolves.

I sang a phantom for him. A weary phantom, worn and weeping, haunting the home he’d left for Barahir’s war.
Eilinel.
So I caught him. So I caught Barahir, his lord. So I shall catch the girl who now stands singing upon my bridge: the Maia’s daughter, come looking for her Eilinel.
