The first day of their quarantine was awkward, as most first days are. Brother turned against brother, sister against sister, sister against brother, brother against sister, dwarf against hobbit, hobbit against dwarf, dwarf against wizard, wizard against hobbit, hobbit against wizard, wizard against dwarf, and the skinchanger accidentally accused herself in the confusion.

In the end, it was decided that a dwarf should die; Eomi, brother of Nari, kinsman of Thorin Anguirelshield.

"But I don't want to die," he protested.

"But you have to," the others told him. "It's The Rules."

"Sister, would you let me die?" he pleaded with Nari.

"Yes," she said. "I have to."

"Fear not kinsman," consoled Thorin. "I shall not let a son of my brother die by any lesser hand."

So saying, they knelt him onto a stump-seat for beheading.

Thorin lifted his gigantic magnificent axe, and with a cry of "Khazad ai menû!" let it fall against Eomi's hairy neck. His head, by some chance, did not roll or lay facedown, but stood upright blinking surprisedly and looking about it.

"Eww!" said some. "Cool!" said others. Some ran outside to be sick.

"If I had use of my arms," the head mouthed. "I'd flip you off." Then the eyes closed for the last time, and stood still.

Nothing happened.


Nothing happened again.


Nothing continued to happen.


"Well," said the dwarves furiously. "Now there's one less dwarf around!"

They buried Eomi under some very pretty looking striped rock that they found nearby, and his grave stood there for some ages, until the breaking of the world.
