Ah - the time draws near for Maedhros. The death he crafts will be his own, unfortunately. Alas for the sons of Feanor - living and dead. They could have done so much good if they hadn't been ruled by that Oath, I think.

Unfortunately so. Yes, I agree--that's part of the tragedy of it. Thank you for commenting.

A moving description of the power of music.

[zdenka]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Truly as well wrought as Maglor's song.

Thank you so much! That's a very high compliment.
