Woodwork Challenge - Drill: Drafted for Duty
Title: Drafted for Duty
Challenge: Woodwork - Drill
Author: Himring
Characters/Pairing: OMC, Maglor
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Book/Source: The Silmarillion
A/N: Oderen's wife now studies music with Maglor, but he hasn't met the son of Feanor face-to-face--until now
Disclaimer: Not Tolkien, not PJ--not for profit.
This wasn’t how he expected to meet Maglor. He has a connection, he supposes-he wonders whether it will serve him.
‘The Sinda refuses the task…’
‘I’ve paid my dues, all I owe you,’ Oderen argues. ‘I’ve got a commission, urgent, due in three days’ time. And I’m a woodcarver, not a wainwright!’
‘How dare…!’
‘He’s from Brithombar, Turion,’ Maglor says, calmly. ‘But here in the Marches, Oderen, we all do what is required. And those waggons-we need them. Now!’
Grudgingly, he drills axle holes. He’s fully compensated but doesn’t entirely understand-until the day the order comes.
Evacuate.
