Oh, Indy, this is absolutely lovely. I want more than anything to believe that Elrond got to see Maglor again in Middle-earth. I also like to think of how Maglor might have spent all those years.
I really liked this beautiful imagery:
But he could imagine the hot, dry air of the steppe surrounding the scribe as he worked, could imagine the time and care spent to make the book as useful as possible, could understand why Maglor would to turn scribing to make a living.
I also like your description of/concept for why Maglor always returned to the sea:
But I cannot stay in one place overly long, no matter how friendly, and if I am away from the sea too long…”
Elrond frowned faintly. “The Sea-longing or--”
“The Silmaril.” Maglor rubbed the fingers of his left on the ugly scar that covered his right palm. “It calls to me sometimes.”
I really love your characterization of both Maglor and Elrond.
