Disclaimer: I don't own LOTR or the Silmarillion.

God created the universe in seven days.

It took one for hers to end.

They say he toiled day and night to create his masterpiece - that there was life to behold at the end of the Lord's efforts. That the world flourished and after all was said and done, God retired to a well-earned rest.

She suffered for perhaps a few minutes and at the end of it all the only thing she went back to was a grave.

A grave and the eternal goddamn darkness that suffocated her even without her need for air - pierced only by a moment of burning, pure white light that encompassed her fully for perhaps a moment before she was passed forward back to aching black and terror.

God created man through a man and a woman from a rib.

She came from something darker her second time around.

Something powerful.

Something that had shaped her in its image and that picture was not human.

It built her a body around her soul and with a scream out into the darkness as if she were a newborn child, she was birthed.

Burning eyes of silver snapped open as a hoarse wail climbed out of a dusky throat and Melkor smiled.

"Welcome to Arda," He purred, voice powerful and all consuming. "Núnonin."

Here's my first LoTR SI-OC fic. This story will span the Silmarillion and LOTR. This is just the prolog, the next chapter will be longer and will hopefully average between 3k-5k.

Núnonin loosely translates to Born of me and the title Loswen means Lost (empty) young woman, I got the name idea from Jade Celandine who will be credited all throughout this story because they really helped me put this together lol.

Some preface is that Melkor created our dear Nin in his image (meaning Nin looks like Melkor) as a slight towards Eru, seeing as how he was doing to hardest to create another Valar but ended up with a bastardized version of it. So basically she's a discount Vala but don't take that to be mean she's lacking in power. It only means that Melkor made her rather than Eru so she's not trademarked lol. For some extra info, Nin's classification will chaotic neutral.
