Summary: Tuor is held captive by the Easterlings.
Word Count: 100 + Notes
Rating: Teen (for adult themes)
Timeline: First Age (bookverse)
------
Osram had no love of the Elven gods. No Easterling did, but Osram made it his special task to break their Edainish supplicant. He would snarl their names, nearly incomprehensibly, and Tuor could not say one word.
Early on, before he learned to hold his tongue, Tuor would correct his overlord. Osram had paid him well for those lessons: a kick in the ribs, a punch to the gut, all while whistling a farce of Tuor's hymns.
Yet on those nights when Tuor escaped the halls, he would still gaze up to Elbereth's canopy, and he still dared to hope.
-------
Note: I know that "atani" is the adjective form of Edain, but I think that atani comes from the earlier sense of Edain as all men, whereas I am using it in the sense of the three houses of the elf-friends. "Edainish" seemed the best compromise to make my meaning clear.
