Challenge: Taking to the Water; adrift.

In time our slain returned. Not all together, but gently, so that they could adjust to families whose lives had continued whilst they were not here. They settled in and found their places building ships, crewing ships, being sons, husbands, and fathers.
Then it was that we began to pity the returning Noldor. They had died in our streets, sailed in our stolen ships, or died on their long, cold, walk; and their families had been beside them.
They were as if adrift, without compass or anchor and, although we would not forget, we could begin to forgive… a little.
