Chapter 19 - Of Beren and Luthien - J.R.R. Tolkien

foreign and luthien among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures and of these histories most Fair still in the ears of the elves is the tale of Beren and luthien of their lives was made the lay of Lathan release from bondage which is the longest save one of the songs concerning the world of old but here the tale is told in fewer words and without song it has been told that barah here would not forsake dothanian and there morgoth pursued him to the death and had at last they remained to him only 12 companions now the forest of dothanian Rose Southward into mountainous Moors and in the east of those Highlands they lay a lake tahan ay Lewin with wild heaths about it and all that land was pathless and Untamed but even in the days of the long peace none had dwelt there but the Waters of Tarn eluin were held in reverence for they were clear and Blue by day and by night were a mirror for the Stars and it was said that melian herself had hallowed that water in days of old and his Outlaws withdrew and they are made there there and morgoth could not Discover it but the rumor of the Deeds of barah here and his companions went far and wide and morgoth commanded Sauron to find them and Destroy them now among the companions of barahir was gordling son of angrim his wife was named alinel and their love was great their evil befell but gordalim returning from the Ward upon the marches found his house plundered and Forsaken and his wife gone where the slain or taken he knew not then he fled to barahir and of his companions he was the most fierce and desperate the doubt nored his heart thinking that perhaps alienel was not dead at times he would depart alone and secretly and visit his house that still stood amid the fields and woods he had once possessed and this became known to the Servants of morgoth on a time of autumn he came in the dusk of evening and drawing near he saw as he thought a light at the window and coming verily he looked Within there he saw Alina and her face was worn with grief and hunger and it seemed to him that he heard her voice lamenting that he had forsaken her but even as he cried aloud the light was blown out in the wind wolves howled and on his shoulders he felt suddenly the heavy hands of sauron's hunters thus gorlim was ensnared and taking him to their Camp they tormented him seeking to learn the hidings of barahir and all his ways that nothing would gorlim tell then they promised him that he should be released and restored to alienel if he would yield and being at last worn with pain and yearning for his wife he faltered then straightway they brought him into the Dreadful presence of Sauron and Sauron said I hear now thou Woods barter with me what is thy price and golim answered that he should find alien elegant and with her be set free for he thought that alienell also had been made captive then Sauron smiled saying that is a small price for so great a treachery so shall it surely be seon now golden would have drawn back but daunted by the eyes of Sauron he told at last all that he would know then Sauron Loft and he mocked Gordon and revealed to him that he had seen only a phantom devised by Wizardry to entrap him for alienelle was dead nonetheless I will grant thy prayer said Saron and thou shalt go to alienel and be set free of my service then he put him cruelly to death in this way the hiding of barah here was revealed and morgoth Drew his net about it and the Orcs coming in the still hours before Dawn surprised the men of darthanian and slew them all save one forbidden Son of barah here had been sent by his father on a perilous errand to spy upon the ways of the enemy and he was far afield when the lair was taken but as he slept benighted in the forest he dreamed that carrion birds sat thick as leaves upon bare trees beside a mirror and blood dripped from their beaks then Baron was aware in his dream of a form that came to him across the water and it was a wraith of Gordon and it spoke to him declaring his treachery and death and bad him make haste to warn his father then Baron awoke and sped through the night and came back to the layout of the Outlaws on the second morning but as he drew near the carrion Birds Rose from the ground and sat in the older trees beside Tarn aliwin and croaked in mockery there bed and bedded his father's bones and raised a can of Boulders above him and swore upon it an oath of vengeance first therefore he pursued the Orcs that had slain his father and his Kinsmen and he found their Camp by night at reveals well above the fan of sarek and because of his Woodcraft he came near to their fire unseen there their Captain made most of his deeds and he held up the hand of barah here that he had cut off as a token for Sauron that their mission was fulfilled and the Ring of feligund was on that hand then Beren sprang from behind a rock and slew the captain and taking the hand and the ring he escaped being defended by Fate for the Orcs were dismayed and their Arrow was wild thereafter for four years more Beren wandered still Upon dorthonian A solitary Outlaw but he became the friend of birds and beasts and they aided him and did not betray him and from that time forth he had no flesh nor slew any living thing that was not in the service of morgoth he did not fear death but only captivity and being bold and desperate he escaped both death and bonds and the Deeds of lonely daring that he achieved were noised abroad throughout Valerian and the tale of them came even into doriaf at length morgoth set a price upon his head no less than the price upon the head of fingon High King of the noldor but the Orcs fled rather at the rumor of his approach than sought him out therefore an army was sent against him under the command of Sauron and Sauron brought werewolves fell beasts inhabited by Dreadful spirits that he had imprisoned in their bodies all that land was now become filled with evil and all clean things were departing from it and baron was pressed so hard that at last he was forced to flee from dorthonian in time of winter and snow he forsook the land and Grave of his father and climbing into the high regions of gorgoroth the mountains of Terror he described afar the land of doriath there it was put into his heart that he would go down into the hidden Kingdom where no mortal foot had yet trodden terrible was his Southward Journey share were the precipices of ered gogorov and beneath their feet were Shadows that were laid before the rising of the Moon Beyond later Wilderness of Don gorth where the sorcery of Sauron and the power of melium came together and horror and Madness walked they're spiders of the fell race of ungullyant Abode spinning their unseen webs in which all living things were snared and monsters wandered there that were born in The Long Dark before the sun hunting silently with many eyes no food for elves or men was there in that haunted land but death only that journey is not accounted least among the great Deeds of Beren but he spoke of it to no one after lest the horror return into his mind and none know how he found a way and so came by paths that no man nor elf else ever dared to tread to the borders of doriath and he passed through the mazes that melian wove about the kingdom of single even as she had foretold for a great Doom lay upon him it is told in the lay of lathion that Baron came stumbling into doriath gray and bowed as with many years of Woe so great had been the torment of the road but wandering in the summer in the woods of neldoreth He Came Upon Lucian daughter of thingol and melian at a time of evening under moonrise as she danced upon the unfading grass in the Glades beside as galduin then all memory of his pain departed from him and he fell into an enchantment for luthien was the most beautiful of all the children of iluvata blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven but her eyes were gray as the Starlet evening a mantle was sown with golden flowers but her hair was dark as the shadows of Twilight was the light upon the leaves of trees as the voice of clear waters as the stars above the Mists of the world such was her glory and her loveliness and in her face was a Shining Light but she vanished from his sight and he became dumb as one that is bound under a spell and he strayed long in the woods wild and wary as a beasts seeking for her in his heart he called her tenuvial that signifies Nightingale daughter of Twilight in the gray elephant tongue for he knew no other name for her and he saw her afford as leaves in the Winds of Autumn and in Winter as a star upon a hill but a chain was upon his limbs there came a Time near dawn on the eve of spring and luthien danced upon a green hill and suddenly she began to sing Keen heart piercing was her song as the song of the Lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying Stars seeing the sun Behind the Walls of the world and the song of luthien released the bonds of winter and the Frozen Waters spoke and flowers sprang from the cold Earth where her feet had passed then the spell of Silence fell from Darren and he called to her crying to novio and the woods echoed the name then she halted in Wonder and fled no more and baron came to her but as she looked on him Doom fell upon her and she loved him yet she slipped from his arms and vanished from his sight even as the day was breaking then Baron lay up on the ground in a swoon as one slain At Once by Bliss and grief and he fell into asleep as it were into an abyss of Shadow and waking he was cold as Stone and his heart Barren and forsaken and wandering in mind he groped as one that is stricken with sudden blindness and seeks with hands to grasp the vanished light thus he began the payment of Anguish for the Fate that was laid on him and in his fate luthion was caught and being Immortal she shared in his mortality and being free received his chain and her anguish was greater than any other the elderlier has known Beyond his hope she returned to him where he sat in darkness and long ago in the hidden Kingdom she laid her hand in his thereafter often she came to him and they went in secret through the woods together from Spring to Summer and no others of the children of illovata have had Joy so great though the time was brief but there on the minstrel also loved Lucian and he aspired her meetings with benon and betrayed them to fingol then the King was filled with anger for luthien he loved Above All Things setting her above all the princes of the elves whereas mortal men he did not even take into his service therefore he spoke in grief and amazement to luthien that she would reveal nothing until he swore an oath to her that he would neither slay Beren nor imprison him but he sent his servants to lay hands on him and lead him to many growth as a malefactor and ruthian forestalling them LED Baron herself Before the Throne of thingol as if he were an honored guest then thingall looked upon Beren in scorn and anger but melian was silent who are you said the king but come the hither is a thief and unbidden dare to approach my throne but Baron being filled with Dread for the Splendor of metagroth and the Majesty of Fingal were very great answered nothing therefore Lucian spoken said he is Baron son of butter here Lord of men Mighty foe of morgoth the tale of whose Deeds has become a song even among the elves let Beren speak said fingo what would you hear unhappy mortal and for what cause if you left your own land to enter this which is forbidden to such as you can you show reason why my power should not be laid on you in heavy punishment for your insolence and folly then Beren looking up beheld the eyes of luthion and his glance went also to the face of million and it seemed to him that words were put into his mouth fear left him and the pride of the eldest House of men returned to him and he said my fate O King let me hither through perils such as few even of the elves would dare and here I have found what I sought not indeed but finding I would possess forever for it is above all gold and silver and beyond all jewels neither Rock nor steel nor the fires of morgoth nor all the powers of the elf kingdoms shall keep from me the treasure that I desire for luthy and your daughter is the fairest of all the children of the world then silence fell upon the hall for those that stood there were astounded and Afraid and they thought that Baron would be slain but thing all spoke slowly saying death you have earned with these words and death you should find suddenly had I not sworn an oath in haste and which I Repent base born mortal who in the realm of morgoth has learned to creep in secret as his spies and thralls then Baron answered death you can give me earned or unearned that the names I will not take from you of baseball nor spy North rule by The Ring of feller gun that he gave to Barry here my father on the battlefields of the north my house has not earned such names from any elf the he king or no his words were proud and All Eyes looked upon the ring for he held it now Aloft and the green Jewelers gleamed there that the noldor had devised in valinor for this ring was like the twin serpents whose eyes were emeralds and their heads met beneath a crown of golden flowers that the one upheld and the other devoured that was the badge of finathin and his house then mellian leaned to single side and in whispered Council that him forego his Wrath for not by you she said shall bear and be slain and far and free does his fate lead him in the end yet it is wound with yours take heed but Fingal looked in silence upon luthien and he thought in his heart unhappy men children of Little Lords and brief Kings shall such as these lay hands on you and yet live then breaking the silence he said I see the ring son of butter here and I perceive that you are proud and deem yourself mighty but a father's Deeds even had his service been rendered to me a veil not to win the daughter of thingol and melian see now I too desire a treasure that is withheld for rock and steel and the fires of morgoth keep the jewel that I would possess against all the powers of the elf kingdoms yet I hear you say that bonds such as these do not daunt you go your way therefore bring to me in your hand a silmaril from morgoth's crown and then if she will luthien May set her hand in yours then you shall have my Jewel and though the fate of out of the lie within the summarils yet you shall hold me generous thus he wrote the Doom of doriath and was ensnared within the curse of Mandos and those that heard these words perceived that thingal would save his oath and yet send Baron to his death for they knew that not all the power of the noldor before The Siege was broken had availed even to see from afar The Shining silmarils of feyenoor for they were set in the iron crown and treasured in angband above all wealth and balrogs were about them and countless swords and strong bars and unassailable walls and the dark Majesty of morgoth but better and Loft ah for little price he said to Elven King sell their daughters for gems and things made by Craft but if this be your will thing all I will perform it and when we meet again my hand shall hold a silmaril from the iron crown for you have not looked the last upon Beren son of barah here then he looked in the eyes of million who spoke not any bad farewell to luthien to nuvial and bowing before fingol and million he put aside the gods about him and departed from many growth alone then at last million spoke and she said to thinkal oh King you have devised cunning counsel but if my eyes have not lost their sight it is ill for you whether Baron fail in his errand or achieve it for you have doomed either your daughter or yourself and now is dollyth drawn within the fate of a mightier Realm but singall answered I sell not to elves or men Those whom I love and cherish above all treasure and if there were hope or fear the Darren should come ever back alive to many growth he should not have looked again upon the light of Heaven though I had sworn it but Lucian was silent and from that hour she sang not again in Doria a brooding silence fell upon the woods and the Shadows lengthened in the Kingdom of thingol it is told in the delay of Lathan that Baron passed through doriath unhindered and came at length to the region of the Twilight mirrors and the Finns of cyrion and leaving singles land he climbed the hills above the Falls of Sirion Where the River plunged underground with great noise then she looked Westward and threw the mist and Reigns that lay upon the hills he saw talath diernan the guarded plane stretching between Sirion and narog and Beyond he described afar the highlands of power in faroth that Rose above nagothran and being destitute without hope or counsel he turned his feet together upon all that plane the elves of nagothrand kept unceasing watch and every Hill upon its borders was crowned with Hidden Towers and through all its woods and Fields archers reigned secretly and with great craft their arrows were sure and deadly and nothing crept there against their will therefore air Baron had come far upon his Road they were aware of him and his death was nigh but knowing his danger he held ever Aloft the Ring of feligund and though he saw no living thing because of the stealth of the hunters he felt that he was watched and he cried often aloud I am Baron son of barah here friend of feligonde Take me to the king therefore the hunters slew him not but assembling they way laid him and commanded him to halt but seeing the ring they bowed before him though he was in evil plight wild and way worn and they led him northward and Westward going by Night lest their paths should be revealed for at that time there was no Ford or bridge over the torrent of narog before the gates of nagothrond but further to the north where gingliss joined narog the flood was less and Crossing there and turning again Southward the elves LED Baron under the light of the moon to the dark gates of their hidden Halls thus Beren came before King finrod felligent and feligund knew him needing no ring to remind him of the kin of bayor and of barahir behind closed doors they sat and Beren told of the death of barah here and of all that had befallen him in daareth and he wept recalling luthien and their Joy together and heard his tail in Wonder and disquiet and he knew that the oath he had sworn was come upon him for his death as long before he had foretold to galadria he spoke then to Baron in heaviness of heart it is plain that thingall desires your death but it seems that this Doom goes beyond his purpose and that the oath of feyenoor is again at work for the silmarils are cursed with an oath of hatred and he that even names them in desire moves a great power from Slumber and the sons of feyenoor would lay all the elf Kingdoms in ruin rather than suffer any other than themselves to win or possess a silmaril for the oath drives them and now Keller Gorham and korofin are dwelling in my holes and though I Finn off in son and King they have won a strong power in the realm and Lead many of their own people they have shown friendship to me in every need but I fear that they will show neither love nor Mercy to you if your quest be told yet my own oath holds and thus we are all ensnared then King filigund spoke before his people recalling the Deeds of barahir and his vow and he declared that it was laid upon him to Aid the son of barahir in his need and he sought the help of his Chieftains then kelloggoma Rose amid the throng and drawing his sword he cried be he Friend or Foe where the demon of morgoth or Elf or child of men or any other living thing in Arda neither law nor love nor League of Hell nor might of the Valar nor any power of Wizardry shall defend him from the pursuing hate of feon or Sons if he take or find a silmaril and keep it for the silmaril's we alone claim until the world ends many other words he spoke as potent as were long before in tirion the words of his father that first inflamed the mold order Rebellion and after Kellogg could have been spoke more softly but with no less power Conjuring in the minds of the elves a vision of Ward and the ruin of nagothrond so greater fear did he set in their hearts that never after until the time of Turin would any elf of that realm go into open battle but with stealth and Ambush with Wizardry and venomed dart they pursued all strangers forgetting the bonds of kinship thus they fell from the Valor and freedom of the elves of old and their land was darkened and now they murmured that finathin's son was not as a Valar to commandant and they turned their faces from him but the curse of Mandos Came Upon the brothers and dark thoughts arose in their hearts thinking to send forth feligund alone to his death and to usurp it might be the Throne of nagothrond for they were of the eldest line of the princes of the noldor and feligonde seeing that he was forsaken took from his head the silver crown of nagarathrand and cast it at his feet saying your Oaths of Faith to me you may break that I must hold my bond yet if there be any on whom the shadow of our curse has not yet Fallen I should find at least a few to follow me and should not go hence as a beggar that his thrust from the gates There Were Ten that stood by him and the chief of them who was named edrahil stooping lifted the crown and asked that he'd be given to a steward until felagun's return for you remain my king and theirs he said whatever be tied then felagun gave the crown of nagothrond to orodres his brother to govern in his Stead and Kelly gorm and kurofin said nothing but they smiled and went from the Halls on an evening of autumn a fellow Gund and baron set out from nagarathran with their ten companions and they journeyed beside narog to his Source in the Falls of Evelyn beneath the shadowy mountains They Came Upon a company Of Orcs And slew them all in their Camp by night and they took their gear and their weapons by the Arts of filigund their own forms and faces were changed into the likeness Of Orcs And Thus disguised they came far upon their Northwood Road and ventured into the Western pass between eridwethrin and the highlands of Tower nufuin but Sauron in his Tower was aware of them and doubt took him for they went in haste and stayed not to report their deeds as were commanded to all the Servants of morgoth that passed that way therefore he sent to waylay them and bring them before him thus befell the contest of Sauron and feligonde which is renowned for felicans strove with Sauron in songs of power and the power of the King was very great but Sauron held the Mastery as is told in the lay of Lathan he chanted a song of Wizardry of piercing opening of treachery revealing uncovering betraying then sudden felagunned there swaying sang and answered a song of staying resisting battling against Power of Secrets kept strength like a tower and Trust unbroken Freedom Escape of changing and of Shifting shape of snares eluded broken traps a prison opening the chain that snaps backwards and forwards swayed their song reeling and foundering as ever more strong the chanting swelled feligund fought and all the magic and might he brought of Elven s into his words softly in the Gloom they heard the birds singing afar and nagarthrond the sighing of the sea Beyond beyond the Western World on sand concerned of pearls in Elven land then the Gloom gathered Darkness growing in valinor the red blood flowing beside the sea where the null door slew the foam Riders and stealing Drew their white ships with their white sails from lamplet Havens the wind wails the wolf howls the Ravens flee the ice mutters in the mouths of the sea the captives sad in angband mourn Thunder rumbles the fires burn and finrod fell Before the Throne then Sauron stripped from them their disguise and they stood before him naked and afraid but though their kinds were revealed Sauron could not discover their names or their purposes he cast them therefore into a deep pit dark and silent and threatened to slay them cruelly unless one would portray the truth to him from time to time they saw two eyes kindled in the dark and a werewolf devoured one of the companions but none betrayed their lord in the time when Sauron cast Beren into the pit a weight of horror Came Upon luthien's heart and going to million for Council she learned that Baron lay in the dungeons of tal in garroth without hope of rescue then luthien perceiving that no help would come from any other on Earth resolved to fly from doriath and come herself to him but she sought the aid of Deron and he betrayed her purpose to the king then single was filled with fear and wonder and because he would not deprive Lutheran of the lights of Heaven lest she fell and fade and yet would restrain her he caused the house to be built from which she should not Escape not far from the gates of manygroth stood the greatest of all the trees in the forest of neldoreth and that was a beach forest and the northern half of the Kingdom this Mighty Beach was named yetilon and it had three trunks equal in girth smooth in rind and exceeding tall no branches Grew From them for a great height above the ground far Aloft between the shafts of hililorn a wooden house was built and there Lucian was made to dwell and the ladders were taken away and guarded save only when the Servants of thingol brought her such things as she needed it is told in the lay of lathian how she escaped from the house in hirilorn for she put forth her Arts of Enchantment and caused her hair to grow to Great length and of it she wove a dark robe that wrapped her beauty like a shadow and it was Laden with a spell of sleep of the strands that remained she twined a rope and she let it down from her window and as the end swayed above the guards that sat beneath the tree they fell into a deep Slumber then Lucian climbed from her prison and shrouded in her shadowy cloak she escaped from all eyes and vanished out of doriath a chanced that kelagome and kurofin went on a hunt through the guarded plane and this they did because Sauron being filled with suspicion sent forth many wolves into the elf lands therefore they took their hands and rode forth and they thought that air they returned they might also hear Tidings concerning King feligund now the chief of the Wolfhounds that followed kellogorm was named huan he was not born in Middle Earth but came from the Blessed Realm for aramai had given him to karagorm long ago in valinor and there he had followed the Horn of his master before evil came into Exile and was faithful and thus he too came under the Doom of Woe set upon the noldor and it was decreed that he should meet death but not until he encountered the mightiest wolf that would ever walk the world when it was that found luthien flying like a shadow surprised by the daylight under the trees when Kellogg and kurofin rested a while near to the Western Eaves of doriath for nothing could escape the sight and scent of huan nor could any enchantment stay him and he slept not neither by night nor day he brought her to caligon and luthien learning that he was a prince of the noldor and a foe of morgoth was glad and she declared herself casting aside her cloak so great was her sudden Beauty revealed beneath the Sun that Kelly gorm became enamored of her but he spoke her fair and promised that she should find help in her need if she returned with him now to nagothrond by no sign did he reveal that he knew already of Beren and the quest of which she told nor that it was a matter which touched him near thus they broke off the hunt and returned to nagothrand and ruthian was betrayed for they held her fast and took away her cloak and she was not permitted to pass the gates or to speak with any save the brothers kelegon and kurufin for now believing that Beren and feligond were prisoners Beyond hope of Aid they purposed to let the king perish and to keep luthien and force fingol to give her hand to kelligon thus they would Advance their power and become the mightiest of the princes of the noldor and they did not purpose to seek the Silmar Rules by Craft or war or to suffer any others to do so until they had all the might of the elf kingdoms under their hands orodreth had no power to withstand them for they swayed the hearts of the people of nagothrond and kellogorm sent Messengers to thingol urging his suit but who and the Hound was true of heart and the love of luthien had fallen upon him in the first hour of their meeting and he grieved at her captivity therefore he came off into her chamber and at night he lay before her door for he felt that evil had come to nagothrond luthien spoke often to huan in her loneliness telling of Baron who was the friend of all birds and beasts that did not serve morgoth and huan understood all that was said for he comprehended the speech of all things with voice but it was permitted to him Thrice only air his death to speak with words now who undivised a plan for the aid of luthien and coming at a time of night he brought her cloak and for the first time he spoke giving her counsel then he led her by secret ways out of nagothrond and they fled North together and he humbled his pride and suffered her to ride upon him in the fashion of a steed even as the Orcs did at times upon great wolves thus they made great speed for huan the Swift and tireless in the pits of Sauron Beren and fellagund lay and all their companions were now dead but Sauron purpose to keep feligund to the last for he perceived that he was an Aldo of great might and wisdom and he deemed that in him lay the secret of their errand but when the wolf came for Baron feligund put forth all his power and burst his bonds and he wrestled with the werewolf and slew it with His Hands and Teeth yet he himself was wounded to the death then he spoke to Baron saying I go now to my long rest in the Timeless Halls Beyond the Seas and the mountains of Ammon it will be long here I am seen among an old door again and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life for the fates of our kindreds are apart farewell he died then in the dark whose great tower he himself had built thus King finrod fellagund fairest and most beloved of the House of Fenway redeemed his oath the baron mourned beside him in despair in that hour luthien came and standing upon the bridge that led to sauron's Isle she sang a song that no walls of stone could Hinder that unheard and he thought that he dreamed for the Stars Shone above him and in the trees Nightingales were singing and in answer he sang a song of challenge that he had made in Praise of the Seven Stars the sickle of the valard at varda hung above the north as a sign for the fall of morgoth then all strength left him and he fell down into darkness but luthien heard his answering voice and she sang then a song of greater power the Wolves howled and the Isle trembled Sauron stood in the high tower wrapped in his black thought that he smiled hearing her voice for he knew that it was the daughter of million the fame of the beauty of luthien and The Wonder of her song had long gone forth from doriaf and he thought to make her captive and hand her over to the power of morgoth for his reward would be great therefore he sent a wolf to the bridge but Juan slew it silently still Sauron sent others one by one one by one Juan took them by the throat and slew them then Sauron sent draugluin a dread Beast old and evil Lord and sire of the werewolves of angband his might was great and the Battle of huan and draugluin was long and fierce yet at length draw glue and escaped and fleeing back into the tower he died before sauron's feet and as he died he told his master who one is there now Sauron knew well as did all in that land the Fate that was decreed for the Hound of valinor and it came into his thought that he himself would accomplish it therefore he took upon himself the form of a werewolf and made himself the mightiest that had yet walked the world and he came forth to win the passage of the bridge so great was the horror of his approach that huan leapt aside then Sauron sprang upon luthien and she swooned before the Menace of the fell spirit in his eyes and the foul Vapor of his breath but even as he came falling she cast a fold of her dark cloak before his eyes and he stumbled for a fleeting drowsiness Came Upon him then huan sprang there befell the Battle of huan and wolf Sauron and the howls and baying echoed in the hills and the Watchers on the walls of added wetherin across the valley heard it afar and were dismayed that no Wizardry nor spell neither Fang nor Venom nor Devil's art nor Beast strength could overthrow huan of valinor and he took his foe by the throat and pinned him down then Sauron shifted shape from Wolf to Serpent and from Monster to his own accustomed form but he could not elude the grip of huan without forsaking his body utterly air his foul Spirit left its dark house Lucian came to him and said that he should be stripped of his raiment of Flesh and his ghost be sent quaking back to morgoth and she said they are everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his scorn pierced by his eyes and lest thou yield to me the Mastery of thy Tower then Sauron yielded himself and luthien took the Mastery of the Isle and all that was there and huan released him and immediately he took the form of a vampire great as a dark cloud across the moon and he fled dripping blood from his throat upon the trees and came to Tower nufuin and dwelt there filling it with horror then luthien stood upon the bridge and declared her power and the spell was loosed that bound Stone to Stone and the gates were thrown down and the walls opened and the pits laid bare and many thralls and captives came forth in Wonder and dismay shielding their eyes against the pale Moonlight for they had Lane long in the darkness of Sauron the dead end came note therefore huan and luthien sought him in the Isle and luthien found him mourning by feligund so deep was his anguish that he lay still and did not hear her feet then thinking him already dead she put her arms about him and fell into a dark forgetfulness but Beren coming back to the light out of the pits of Despair lifted her up and they looked again upon one another in the day rising over the dark Hills Shone upon them they buried the body a fell a gun upon the hilltop of his own Isle and it was clean again and the green grave of finrod finath in Sun fairest of all the princes of the elves remained in Violet until the land was changed and broken and founded under destroying Seas but finrod walks with finath in his father beneath the trees in eldamar went free again and together walked through the woods renewing for a time their Joy and though winter came it hurt them not for flowers lingered where luthion went and the Birds Sang beneath the snow-clad Hills being faithful went back to kelagom his master yet their love was less than before there was two malt in nagarthrond for wither now returned many elves that had been prisoners in the Isle of Sauron and a cloud arose that no words of ketogorm could still they lamented bitterly the fall of felicans their King saying that a maiden had dared that which the sons of feyenoor had not dared to do but many perceived that it was treachery rather than fear that had guided calagorm and korofin therefore the hearts of the people of nagothrond were released from their dominion and turned again to the house of finnafin and they obeyed orodreth but he would not suffer them to slay the brothers as some desired for the spilling of Kindred Blood by kin would bind the curse of Mandos more closely upon them all yet neither bread nor rest would he Grant to Kelly gorm and kurufin within his realm and he swore that there should be little love between nargothrond and the sons of feyenoor thereafter let it be so said kelagorn and there was a light of Menace in his eyes but kurufin smiled then they took horse and rode away like fire to find if they might their Kindred in the east but none would go with them not even those that would of their own people for all perceived that the curse lay heavily upon the brothers and that evil followed them in that time Keller brimbor the son of kurufin repudiated the Deeds of his father and remained in nargothrond yet huan followed still the horse of kellogorn his master North would they rode for they intended in their haste to pass through dimba and along the north marches of doriath seeking the swiftest road to himmling where maithross their brother dwelt and still they might hope with speed to Traverse it since it lay close to dariath's borders shunning Nan dungor fib and the distant Menace of the mountains of Terror now it is told that Beren and Lucian came in there wandering into the forest of breathal and Drew near at last to the borders of Donia then Beren took thought of his thou and against his heart he resolved when luthien was come again within the safety of her own land to set forth once more but she was not willing to be parted from him again saying you must choose Beren between these two to relinquish the quest and your oath and seek a life of wandering upon the face of the Earth or to hold to your word and challenge the power of Darkness upon its throne but on either Road I shall go with you and our Doom shall be alike even as they spoke together of these things walking without heed of what else Kelly gorm and kurufin rode up hastening through the forest and the brothers despite them and knew them from afar then Kelly gorm turned his horse and spurred it upon Baron purposing to write him down but could've been swerving stooped and lifted Lucian to his saddle for he was a strong and cunning Horseman then Baron sprang from before Kelly gorm full upon the speeding horse of kurufin that had passed him and the leap of Beren is renowned among men and elves he took kurathan by the throat from behind and hurled him backward and they fell to the ground together the horse reared and fell that Lucian was flung aside and lay upon the grass then Beren throttled kurufin the death was near him for calagorm rode upon him with a spear in that hour Who and forsook the service of kellogorm and sprang upon him so that his horse swerved aside and would not approach Baron the cause of the terror of the great hound telegram cursed both hound and horse but Hoon was unmoved then luthion Rising for bad the slaying of kurufin but Beren despoiled him of his gear and weapons and took his knife angriest that life was made by telchar of noglud and hung sheathless by his side iron it would cleave as if it were green wood then Baron lifting korofin flung him from him and bad him walk now back to his Noble kinsfolk who might teach him to turn his Valor to worthier use your horse he said I keep for the service of luthien and it may be accounted happy to be free of such a master then kurofin cursed Beren under cloud and Sky Go hence he said unto a Swift and bitter death telegram took him beside him on his horse and the brothers made them as if to ride away and baron turned away and took no heat of their words but kurufin being filled with shame and Malice took the bow of kelagorn and shot back as they went and the arrow was aimed at luthien leaping caught it in his mouth but could have been shot again and baron sprang before luthien and the dart smote him in the breast it is told that Juan pursued the sons of feyenoir and they fled in fear and returning he brought to luthien the herb out of the forest with that leaf she staunched Baron's wound and by her arts and by her love she healed him and thus at last they returned to doriath their Barren being torn between his oath and his love and knowing luthien to be now safe a rose one morning before the sun and committed her to the care of Juan then in great anguish he departed while she yet slept upon the grass he rode northward again with all speed to the pass of silion and coming to the skirts of tower nufuin he looked out across the waist of Ang fouglith and saw a father peaks of than gorodrim there he dismissed the horse of kufin and that it leave now dread and servitude and run free upon the green grass in the lands of Syrian then being now alone and upon the threshold of the final Peril he made the song of parting in Praise of luthien and the lights of Heaven for he believed that he must now say farewell to both love and light of that song these words were part farewell sweet Earth and northern sky forever blessed sincere did lie and here with listen limbs did run beneath the moon beneath the Sun Lucian to nuvial more fair than mortal tongue can tell the Walter ruin fell the world and were dissolved and backward hurled unmade into the old Abyss yet what it's making good for this The Dusk the dawned the Earth the sea that luthien for a Time should be and he sang aloud caring not what ear should overhear him for he was desperate and looked for No Escape but luthien heard his song and she sang in answer as she came through the woods unlooked for for Juan consenting once more to be her Steed had borne her swiftly hard upon beren's Trail long he had pondered in his heart what counsel he could devise for the lightning of the Peril of these two whom he loved he turned aside therefore that sauron's Isle as they ran northward again and he took thence the ghastly wolf him of drauglewin and the bat fell of thoring guestil she was the messenger of Sauron and was wound to fly in vampire's form to angband and her great fingered wings were Barbed at each joint's end with an iron claw Ed in these Dreadful garments horn and luthien ran through Tower nufuin and all things fled before them Baron seeing their approach was dismayed and he wondered for he had heard the voice of tinuvial and he thought it now a phantom for his ensnaring but they halted and cast aside their disguise and luthien ran towards him thus Beren and luthien met again between the desert and the wood for a while he was silent and was glad but after a space he strove once more to dissuade luthien from her journey Thrice now I curse my oath to Fingal he said and I would that he had slain me in many Groove rather than I should bring you under the shadow of morgoth then for the second time Juan spoke with words and he counseled Beren saying from the shadow of death you can no longer save luthien for by her love she is now subject to it you can turn from your face and lead her into Exile seeking peace in vain while your life lasts but if you will not deny your doom then either luthien being forsaken must assuredly die alone or she must with you challenge the Fate that lies before you hopeless yet not certain further counsel I cannot give nor may I go further on your road but my heart forebows that what you find at the gate I shall myself see all else is dark to me yet it may be that our three paths lead back to doriath and we may yet meet before the end then Baron perceived that luthien could not be divided from the Doom that lay upon them both and he sought no longer to dissuade her by the Council of Juan and the Arts of luthien he was arrayed now in the Haim of drauglewin and she and the winged fell of thoring therein became in all things like a werewolf to look upon saved that in his eyes there Shone a spirit Grim indeed but clean and horror was in his glance as he sawed upon his flank a bat-like creature clinging with creased wings then howling under the moon he leapt down the hill and the bat wheeled and flitted above him they passed through all perils until they came with the dust of their long and weary Road upon them to the Drea Dale that lay before the Gate of angban black chasms opened beside the road whence forms as of riding serpents issued on either hand the cliff stood as embattled walls and upon them sat carrion fowl crying with fell voices before them was the impregnable gate an arch wide and dark at the foot of the mountain above it reared a thousand feet of precipice their dismay took them for at the gate was a god of whom no Tidings had yet gone forth rumor of he knew not what designs abroad among the princes of the elves had come to morgoth and ever down the aisles of the forest was heard the baying of huan the great hound of War whom long ago the Valar Unleashed then morgoth recalled the Doom of huan and he chose one from among the whelps of the race of througluin and he fed him with his own hand upon living flesh and put his power upon him swiftly the wolf grew until he could creep into no den that lay huge and hungry before the feet of morgoth there the fire and anguish of Hell entered into him and he became filled with the devouring Spirit tormented terrible and strong the red Moor he is named in the tales of those days and unfoglier the jaws of thirst and morgoth set him to lie on sleeping before the doors of angband lest Juan come now despite them from afar and he was filled with doubt for news had long been brought to angburn the throw glue in was dead therefore when they approached he denied them entry and bad them stand and he drew near with Menace scenting something strange in the air about them but suddenly some power descended from of old from Divine race possessed luthien and casting back her foul Raymond she stood forth small before the might of kheroth that radiant and terrible lifting up her hand she commanded him to sleep saying oh woe begotten Spirit Fall now into dark Oblivion and forget for a while the Dreadful Doom of life was felled as though lightning had smitten him then Beren and luthien went through the gate and down the labyrinthine stairs and together wrought the greatest deed that has been dared by elves or men for they came to the seat of morgoth in his nethermost Hall that was upheld by horror lit by fire and filled with weapons of death and torment their Barren slunk in wolves form beneath his throne but luthion was stripped of her disguise by the will of morgoth and he bent his gaze upon her she was not daunted by his eyes and she named her own name and offered her service to sing before him after the manner of a Minstrel then morgoth looking upon her beauty conceived in his thought and evil lust and a design more dark than any that had yet come into his heart since he fled from valinor thus he was beguiled by his own malice for he watched her leaving her free for a while and taking secret pleasure in his thought then suddenly she eluded his sight and out of the Shadows began a song of such surpassing loveliness and of such blinding power that he listened beforece and the blindness Came Upon him as his eyes roamed to and fro seeking her all his court were cast down in Slumber and all the fires faded into a quenched but the silmarils in the crown on morgoth's head blazed forth suddenly with a Radiance of White Flame and the burden of that crown and of the jewels bowed down his head as though the world was set upon it Laden with a weight of care a fear and of Desire that even the will of morgoth could not support then luthion catching up a winged robe sprang into the air and her voice came dropping down like rain into pools profound and dark she cast her cloak before his eyes and set upon him a dream dark as the outer void where once he walked alone suddenly he fell as a hill sliding in avalanche and hurled like Thunder from his throne lay prone upon the floors of Hell the iron Crown rolled echoing from his head all things were still as a dead Beast Baron lay upon the ground but luthien touching him with a hand aroused him and he cast the side of the wolfham then he drew forth the knife angerist and from the iron claws that held it he cut a silmaril as he closed it in his hand the radiance welled through his living flesh and his hand became as a shining lamp that the jewel suffered his touch and hurt him not he came then into Baron's mind that he would go beyond his vow and bear out of angband all three of the jewels of fional but such was not the Doom of the silmarils the knife anguist snapped and A Shard of the blade flying smote the cheek of morgoth he groaned and stirred and all the hosts of angband moved in sleep then Terra fell upon Beren and luthien and they fled he'd listened without disguise Desiring only to see the light once more they were neither hindered nor pursued but the gate was held against their going out had Arisen from sleep and stood now in wrath upon the threshold of angband before they were aware of him he saw them and sprang upon them as they ran luthion was spent and she had not time no strength to quell the wolf but Beren Strode forth before her and in his right hand he held Aloft the silmaril halted and for a moment he was afraid get you gone and fly cried Baron for here is a fire that shall consume you and all evil things and he thrust the silmaril before the eyes of the Wolf that kaharoth looked upon that Holy Jewel and was not daunted and the devouring Spirit within him awoke to sudden fire and gaping he took suddenly the hand within his jaws and he bit it off at the wrist then swiftly all his innards were filled with a flame of Anguish and the silmarily seared is a cursed flesh howling he fled before them and the walls of the Valley of the gate echoed with a clamor of his torment so terrible did he become in his Madness that all the creatures of morgoth that Abode in that Valley or were upon any of the roads that led to the fled far away for he slew all living things that stood in his path and burst from the north with ruin upon the world of all the Terrors that came ever into baleria and their angbans fall The Madness of karoth was the most Dreadful for the power of the silmaril was hidden within him now Baron lay in a swoon within the perilous gate and death Drew nyim for there was Venom on the fangs of the Wolf Ian with her lips Drew out the Venom and she put forth her failing power to staunch the Hideous wound but behind her in the depths of angband the rumor grew of great wrath aroused the hosts of morgoth were awakened thus the quest of the silmaril was like to have ended in ruin and despair but in that hour above the wall of the valley three Mighty Birds appeared flying northward with wings swifter than the wind among all birds and beasts the wandering in need of Baron had been noised and huan himself had bitten all things watch that they might bring him Aid high above the realm of morgoth Horan dor and his vassal sword and seeing now The Madness of the wolf and Barons fall they came swiftly down even as the powers of angband were released from the toils of sleep then they lifted up luthien and baron from the earth and bore them Aloft into the clouds below them suddenly Thunder rolled Lightnings leapt upward and the mountains quaked fire and smoke belched forth from than gorodrim and flaming Boats were held far abroad falling ruinous upon the lands and an old door in hislum trembled but thorandor took his way far above the Earth seeking the high roads of heaven where the sun day long shines unveiled and the moon walks amid the cloudless Stars thus they passed swiftly over door new foglith and over Tower nufuin and came above the Hidden Valley of qumlan no Cloud no mist lay there and looking down luthien saw far below as a white light starting from a green Jewel the radiance of gondolin the fair where torgun dwelt but she wept for she thought that Baron would surely die he spoke no word nor opened his eyes and knew thereafter nothing of his flight and at last the Eagles set them down upon the borders of doriath and they will come to that same Dell once Beren had stolen in Despair and left luthien asleep there the Eagles laid her at Bed inside and returned to the peaks of Chris sagrin and their High eeries but Juan came to her and together they tended Baron even as before when she healed him of the wound that kurofin gave to him but this wound was fell and poisonous long bed and lay and his Spirit wandered upon the dark borders of death knowing ever an anguish that pursued him from dream to dream then suddenly when her hope was almost spent he woke again and looked up seeing leaves against the sky that he heard beneath the leaves singing soft and slow beside him luthien to nuvial and it was spring again thereafter Baron was named which is the one-handed and suffering was Graven in his face but at last he was drawn Back to Life by the love of luthien and he arose and together they walked in the woods once more and they did not hasten from that place for it seemed fair to them luthien indeed was willing to wander in the wild without returning forgetting house and people and all the glory of the elf kingdoms and for a Time Darren was content but he could not for long forget his oath to return to manigroth nor would he withhold luthien from single forever for he held by the Lord of men deeming it perilous to sit at North the will of the father save at the last need and it seemed also to him unfit that one so Royal and fair as luthien should live always in the woods as the rude Hunters among men without home or honor or the fair things which are the Delight of the queens of the elderlier therefore after a while he persuaded her and their footsteps forsook the houseless lands and he passed into doriath leading Lucian home so their Doom willed it upon dorius evil days had fallen grief and silence had come upon all its people when luthien was lost long they had sought for her in vain and it is told that in that time dareon the minstrel of single strayed from the land and was seen no more here it was that made music for the dance and song of luthien before Baron came to doriath and he had loved her and said all his thought of her in his music he became the greatest of all the minstrels of the elves east of the sea named even before maglor son of feyenoord but seeking for Lutheran in despair he wandered upon strange paths and passing over the mountains he came into the east of Middle Earth where for many ages he made lament beside dark waters for luthien daughter of Fingal most beautiful of all living things in that time pingol turned to melion but now she withheld Her counsel from him saying that the Doom that he had devised must work to its appointed end and that he must wait now upon time but single learned that luthien had journeyed far from doriath for messages came secretly from caligon as has been told saying that Feller Gund was dead and baron was dead that luthien was in noggothrond and that at calagon would wed her then Fingal was wrathful and he sent forth spies thinking to make war upon nagothrond and thus he learned that luthion was again fled and that kellogorman kurofin were driven from nagothrond then his counsel was in doubt for he had not the strength to assail the seven sons of feyenoor but he sent Messengers to himring to summon their aid in seeking for luthien since kellogorm had not sent her to the house of her father nor had he kept her safely but in the north of his realm his Messengers met with a Peril sudden and unlooked for the onslaught of kaharoth the wolf of angband in his madness he had run ravening from the north and passing at length over Tower upon its eastern side he came down from the sources of his galduin like a destroying fire nothing hindered him and the might of million upon the borders of the land stayed him not for fate drove him and the power of the silmaril that he bore to his torment thus he Burst Into the inviolet Woods of Doria and all fled away in fear alone of The Messengers mablung Chief captain of the king escaped and he brought the dread Tidings to finger even in that Dark Hour Beren and gluthian returned hastening from the west and the news of their coming went before them like a Sound of Music born by the wind into dark houses where men sit sorrowful they came at last to the gates of meningroth and a great host followed them then Beren LED luthien Before the Throne of Fingal her father and he looked in Wonder upon Beren whom he had thought dead but he loved him not because of the woes that he had brought upon doriath but Baron knelt before him and said I return according to my word I am come now to claim my own and thing God answered what of your question of your vow that Beren sin it is fulfilled even now a silmaril is in my hand then thingall said show it to me and Beren put forth his left hand slowly opening its fingers but it was empty then he held up his right arm and from that hour he named himself Kam lost the empty-handed then fingal's mood was softened and Beren sat before his throne upon the left and gluthian upon the right and they told all the tale of the quest while all there listened and were filled with amazement and it seemed to fingle that this man was unlike all other Mortal men and among the great in Arda and the love of luthien a thing new and strange and he perceived that their Doom might not be withstood by any power of the world therefore at the last he yielded his will and Beren took the hand of luthien Before the Throne of her father but now a shadow fell upon the joy of doriath at the return of luthien the fair for learning of the cause of The Madness of khacharoth the people grew the more afraid deceiving that his danger was fraught with Dreadful power because of the Holy Jewel and hardly might be overthrown and baron hearing of the onslaught of the wolf understood that the quest was not yet fulfilled therefore since daily kaharoth Drew nearer to menegroth they prepared the hunting of the Wolf of all Pursuits of Beasts where oftales tell the most perilous to that chase when huan the Hound of valinor and mablong of the heavy hand and belleg Strongbow and Beren echamian and single king of doriath they rode forth in the morning and passed over the river as galduin but luthien remained behind at the gates of meningroth a dark shadow fell upon her and it seemed to her that the sun had sickened and turned black the hunters turned east and north and following the course of the river they came at last upon kahar off the wolf in a dark Valley down the northern side whereof is galgun fell in a torrent over Steep Falls at the foot of the falls drank to ease his consuming thirst and he howled and thus they were aware of him but he is spying their approach rushed not suddenly to attack them it may be that the devil's cunning of his heart awoke being for a moment eased of His Pain by the Sweet Waters of his gaudwin and even as they rode towards him he slung a side into a deep break there lay hid but they said to God about all that place and waited and the Shadows grew long in the forest therein Stood Beside single and suddenly they were aware that Juan had left their side then a great baying awoke in the thicket for huan becoming impatient and Desiring to look upon this wolf had gone in alone to dislodge him but kaharos avoided him and bursting from the Thorns leapt suddenly upon Fingal swiftly bed and Strode before him with a spear but kaharoth swept it aside and failed him biting at his breast in that moment huan leapt from the thicket upon the back of the wolf and they fell together fighting bitterly and no Battle of wolf and Hound has been like to it for in the daying of Juan was heard the voice of the horns of orina and the Wrath of the Valor but in the hulls of karhorov was the hate of morgoth and Malice crueler than teeth of Steel and the Rocks were rent by their clamor and fell from on high and choked the Falls of esgalduin dare they fought to the death but singal gave no heed for he knelt by Baron seeing that he was sorely hurt Juan in that hour sleworth but there in the woven Woods of doriath his own Doom long-spoken was fulfilled and he was wounded mortally and the Venom of morgoth entered into him then he came and falling beside Baron spoke for the third time with words and he bad Beren farewell before he died Beren spoke not but laid his hand upon the head of the Hound and so they parted mablong and bellig came hastening to the king's aid but when they looked upon what was done they cast aside their Spears and wept then mablung took a knife and ripped up the belly of the wolf and within he was well now all consumed as with a fire but the hand of Baron that held the jewel was yet incorrupt but when mablang reached forth to touch it the hand was no more and the silmaril lay there unveiled and the light of it filled the Shadows of the forest all about them then quickly and in fear nablong took it and set it in beren's living hand and baron was aroused by the touch of the silmaril and held it Aloft and bad thing or receive it now is the quest achieved he said and my Doom full wrought and he spoke no more they bore back Beren cam lost son of barah here upon a beard of branches with Huang the wolf hound at his side a night fell and they returned to menograph at the feet of hirilo on the great Beach luthien met them walking slow and some bore torches beside the beer there she set her arms about Beren and kissed him bidding him await her beyond the Western sea and he looked upon her eyes and the spirit left him but the Starlight was quenched and darkness had fallen even upon Lucian to nuvial thus ended the quest of the silmaril the delay of lethian released from bondage does not end for the spirit of Beren at her bidding tarried in the halls of Mandos unwilling to leave the world until luthien came to say her last farewell upon the dim shores of the outer sea once men that die set out never to return but the spirit of luthien fell down into darkness and at the last it fled and her body lay like a flower that he suddenly cut off and lies for a while unwithered on the grass then a winter as it were the age of mortal men fell upon single but luthien came to the halls of Mandos where are the appointed places of the elderlier Beyond The Mansions of the West upon the confines of the world there are those that wait sit in the shadow of their thought but her beauty was more than their beauty and her sorrow deeper than their sorrows and she note before Mandos and sang to him the song of luthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear unchanged imperishable it is sung still in valenor beyond the hearing of the world and listening the Valar are grieved for luthien wove two themes of words and the sorrow of the Elder and the grief of men of the two kindreds that were made by illovatar to dwell in Arda the kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable Stars and as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon the stones and Mandos was moved to pity who never before was so moved nor has been since therefore he summoned Beren and even as luthien had spoken in the hour of his death they met again beyond the Western sea that nandos had no power to withhold the spirits of men that were dead within the confines of the world after their time of waiting nor could he change the fates of the children of Illinois he went therefore to Manuel lord of the Valar who governed the world under the hand of iluvata and Manuel sought counsel in his inmost thought where the will of illu vatar was revealed these were the choices that he gave to luthien because of her labors and her sorrow she should be released from Mandos and go to Valley Mart there to dwell until the World's End among the Valar forgetting all griefs that her life had known could not come but it was not permitted to the Valar to withhold death from him which is the gift of ilovata to men but the other choice was this that she might return to Middle Earth and take with her Baron there to dwell again but without certitude of life or Joy then she would become mortal and subject to a second death even as he and how long she would leave the world forever and her beauty become only a memory in song this Doom she chose forsaking the Blessed realm and putting aside all claim to kinship with those that dwell here that thus whatever grief might lie in weight the fates of Baron and luthien might be joined and their paths lead together beyond the confines of the world so it was that alone of the elderlier she has died indeed and left the world long ago yet in her choice the two kindreds have been joined and she is the Forerunner of many in whom the elders see yet though all the world is changed the likeness of luthion the Beloved whom they have lost
