Sneak peek: To A Starlight World - Silmarillion One Shot
A/n: This is based on this thing I saw.
I then thought this will be a fun story to do, it will be a full story soon. It does start after they notice that Feanor is a duplicate. So, please sit back enjoy this sneak peek.
Finwe looked at the elf who sat across from him and he narrowed his eyes. "What are you? You are not my son." He said.
'Feanor' looked at him and suddenly his demeanor changed. He leaned back in the chair, instead of sitting up in it completely. His firm gaze relaxed along with his shoulders. They crossed their legs and leaned on their hand a bit. "Wow. I am a bit suprised and a bit concerned that it took this long for someone to realize I am not Feanor." He said his voice calm and relaxed.
Finwe looked suprised that whoever this imposter was admitted this as if it was nothing. "Who are you?" He asked pushing his surprise to the side.
They looked at Finwe and ducked their head and pulled off the mask they wore. Finwe had to guess this though since when they looked elf they no longer looked like Feanor. They shook their head after they did this and said, "This hurts. I mean after all these years you do not remember the nut who saved your life once and the one who called you a complete idiot for agreeing to come here."
"Khyais!?" Finwe said in shock. "You are alive?!"
"The very one and only," He replied. "and yes. I am apparently alive."
Finwe looked at him and the only thing he said was, "Explain. Now!"
Khyais moved forward and said, "Okay. Here it is, I was captured by Melkor and Mairon for a number of years. Then I am not sure what happened but Melkor got impressed by these other Valar. During that time Mairon kept his work but then one day about a three months ago Mairon got a message from Melkor telling him to send me here. When I got here all I was told I was going to have to act like your son while he replaced him. I did ask him what he'll do if I refused and well long story short. I weighed my choices and did some thinking and this was the best outcome I can think of."
Finwe looked at Khyais and shook his head. "You have not changed," He said.
"No. I have not," He replied.
Finwe just rubbed his face and started to wonder how he was going to explain this to everyone. After all, he was the only one who knew Khyais and knew for a fact even though Melkor had him do this he had no connection to him. He also knew that there was more to the picture since with Khyais there always was and is something that he sees and realizes that no one else dose. Yet, no one else here knew that. He looked up at him and asked, "You do know how hard this is going to be for me to explain. Right?"
"I can take care of the explaining," He replied. "Yet, I should tell you the one part of me that does regret taking this deal is that if my thinking is correct then we need to move."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Melkor. He is power-hungry and wants to be known. Mairon is obsessed with perfection and wants revenge on the Valar. From what I saw and was told your son is smart and is skilled. I figure they are going to try to use him for whatever their plan is." He said. He then was quiet for a few moments and just said, "And I'll tell you the rest later as in when I have to talk to the Valar."
Finwe looked at him and shook his head. "I have no idea what we are going to tell anyone."
"You can leave it to me," He said.
"I'll leave the explaining to you but I'll have to tell everyone else what is going on. As much as I do trust you but when it comes to this...well you are very blunt and I do not think this should be said in a blunt way." Finwe replied.
Khyais just shrugged and said, "Alright."
~~~
Khyais was sitting with his legs crossed as he listened to Finwe having to explain to Nerdanal and the rest of Feanor's children what was going on. Interesting enough Fearnor's half brothers were there as well. In the end Finwe also explained what Khyais told him of why he accepted. Nerdanel was unsurprised since she felt something wrong in Feanor's behavior and clear distance as of late. Yet, the one who looked like was about to blow was Curufin. He stormed over to stand in front of Khyais.
"If you want to get mad at me come up with a clear reason," Khyais said before Curufin had a chance to say anything. "Yet, what you feel is most likely confusion more than actually anger. Or you could be angry but at Melkor for capturing your father and you are unsure of how to react to this."
Curufin stopped and just stared at Khyais and blinked. It was as if someone had turned off his mind and just froze him. Finwe gave a short sigh and looked at Khyais and asked, "Perhaps for right now you should hold back with your quick analyzations."
"Alright." He said he looked back at Curufin and said, "You were about to yell at me for acting as your father."
That snapped Curufin back and the next few minutes was Curufin snapping at Khyais who just sat there. A part of him was listening and another part was ignoring the ranting. When Curufin was finally done. Nerdanel stepped over and asked, "Who are you exactly? If allied yourself with Melkor then you would not just sit here calmly and you would not just have acted like my husband. I think you would have done something more. So, who are you exactly?"
Khyais looked to Finwe who looked a bit curious to see how he'll answer. He then looked to Nerdanel and said, "Who I am is a tough question to answer. Yet, I can answer you this, my name is Khyais. I am one of the Avari, why I chose to stay in middle earth is unimportant. Other than that it is too hard to explain. Finwe can vouch for that."
Nerdanel looked at Finwe who had an expression that just confirmed that Khyais was hard to explain. She nodded and then asked, "My husband. Is he still alive?"
Everyone looked at him as he was quiet with his eyes closed for a few moments. "Alive? Yes."
"How can you be so sure?" Asked Fingolfin.
"Melkor is predicable," Khyais replied simply.
And this story will be continued when the book is published.
