Summary: Feanor and Nerdanel enjoy roaming about in Valinor in their youth, but they are not the first to do so.
Author notes: Earlier version was for Indis Day at Finwean Ladies week on Tumblr. This version re-written as drabble for Tolkien_100 for the prompt Repurposed.


‘Where are you off to tomorrow, Feanaro?’ With Nerdanel, Indis meant.

Feanor gave her a slightly wary look.

‘We thought we would go to the Blue Fountain and head north-west from there.’

‘Ah,’ said Indis, ‘I went that way once.’

She cast about her for something to write on, took the dinner menu, turned it over and drew a rough map on the back, clearly marking good resting places that offered water fit to drink.

‘See? Here is how far I went. If you go farther, let me know what you find, will you?’

‘Thank you, I will,’ said Feanor.

A/N: Indis's wanderings are mentioned in the History of Middle-earth, although it is not clear how far she went. ETA: I managed to omit the first line in cross-posting, but clearly it was comprehensible anyway!

Yes! The Vanyar were the pioneers of the Great Journey so they must have been both adventurous and tough! I think of them as becoming a community of martial arts masters meditating and practicing their arts up on the Holy Mountain....
