Sixth

Even mountains begin to fall, if you watch them for more than an Age of the world. The River has built new islands and channels from the silt that once was farmland and forest far upstream. The coastline bends in where cliffs have tumbled, and sand beaches have tucked themselves into sheltered corners that did not exist when my subjects fished along these shores. The fortress I built has crumpled, but I go on. Neither stone nor creature is left in these lands to compare what I am now to the Man that I once was.

Only the Sea remembers.

May the Nine Nuzgul keep nibbling. I love you drabbles about the fallen kings.

This is just gorgeous. You can see why many mythologies hold immortality to be a curse (in this case, above and beyond the curse of the ring).

Great, really great. I'm already collecting them for my site.... and I can't even say what I like most: the thoughtfulness you put in each of them, the eternal loss of a "normal" life you make painfully palpable and the fact that you give each of them a history of his own.

I think this might be my favourite so far . . . I love the images of the actual topography changing over time as well as human-built things. Very powerful.

Thank you

These Nazgul-drabbles are so interesting! I never thought about their lies before they became Nazguls before. You´ve done a great job picturing it for us. Thank you.

Very nice. I picture this King as being frmo the south, maybe Harad even... fascinating series.

May these keep nibbling at you. They're utterly fasinating.
