The In-Between

‘Gorgumoth I am called, the hound of Mandos.’ He says as he sits back on his legs, wrapping his skinny tail around his front paws.

'Are these the Halls of Mandos?’

'This is nepantla, the in-between, neither here nor there.’

Celegorm falls at Doriath by Dior’s hand, but the journey does not end there.

A little something to celebrate Day of the Dead, inspired by a small discussion with @houndsofvalinor-art and their beautiful art response of Námo Mandos and his hound Gorgumoth.

This is fantastic and I’m so, so thankful for it! Your writing is gorgeous, and the imagery is beautifully dreamlike and haunting. I love the blend of Aztec mythology- thank you again for sharing in the notes. All of the characters are wonderfully-written, and I especially love the dogs. Thank you again for writing this!
