Summary: Balrogs are mean

His was the mind most like unto Eru, with strength and wisdom greater than all the others, so why was he not the chosen? Melkor showed us his image of what Eä could be, a darker and more majestic vision than their simple minds can fathom.

Melkor, who taught us to fashion form out of shadow, hearts out of flame; to cloak ourselves in darkness, fuel our infernal fire with wings like bellows in a forge, to craft flails and axes worthy of our might that we may crush our enemies with hatred and vengeance.

Who would dare challenge us?

You silly person. This is beautiful; mine is a crack!nonfic. You'll get to read it first. The Encyclopedia of Arda sets me off (which it often does) spending pages and endless citations supposedly supporting both sides (only if one does not read English very well and has no sense of logic or Tolkien). His Balrogs actually have great big fiery flapping metaphorical wings--the biggest ever, almost shutting out the light of the sun!!
