#silmarilli verse

She felt off. Something was wrong. She felt herself falling.  For how long she didn't really know. what she did know was that she crashed into the ground with a ineradicable force.

All she could do was lay there, too stunned to move a muscle.for a short while. it took about 10 minutes before she was able to move. Pushing herself on to her side she saw that her hair was black, but still held streaks of pure silver.

Groaning in pain she stood and brushed off her dress. The crater she was in was huge. "Well... this isn't going to be fun...."

Mari swam around the boat. It was easy enough for her to hide herself. The sun was setting giving her the perfect cover. She loved going to the sea ports and looking at the ships. Upon occasion she’d even sneak on board and leave a small string of pearls on the ships wheel.

It had come to be a symbol of luck for those whose ships received them. The ships she was inspecting was new. She didn’t recognize it. As she heard the crew go to the shore she pulled herself up the side of the ship. When the last of her tail left the water, she felt her bottom half shift back into her legs.

The first thing she became aware of was the chill on her back. Shivering she curled up. Wait… slowly she pushed herself up. This was not how she was. Opening her eyes She blinked repeatedly so that they adjusted to the light.

She became sharply aware of the bareness of her skin. Carefully, since her legs were shaking, she made her way down the halls. The first door she came to she pushed open. She knew she needed to cover her skin.

After a few minutes of searching she found a dress. Pulling it over her head She caught her reflection. The light of her skin was a gentle glow as shown clearly through the thinner parts of the material. Smiling she spun before leaving the room. It didn’t take long before she was found.

It had been a long time since she felt this presence. Or any presence in the mountains for that matter. Gathering the bottom of her dress she took off running to see if she was right.

Mari held her hands out in front of her. She had let herself be backed into a corner, which is where she did NOT want to be. The men spread out around her and she did her best to keep her eyes on all of them. It took a moment for her to remember she could protect her self. With a big intake of breath she shot her hand out. Light shooting from it and striking one of the men.

Mari looked out over the land. It had been ages since she had dared set foot on it.... Too many times had she been chased off just because she let her human guise vanish at the wrong time. Many called her a dark witch, set on casting everything they knew into the dark.

But that couldn't be farther from the truth. She just wanted to be in the light. Sighing she turned back to walk into the desolated mountain, when something in the distance caught her eye.
