Scattering Beacons of Hope


"What are you doing?"

"There must be light."

"But, the lamps were toppled and the Trees light only Valinor."

"Yes, and the Children will awaken in darkness and will be afraid."

"And you are … ?"

"I am placing lights into the sky. Melkor will be unable to dim them in their multitude. Whenever he looks upward, he will see a visible sign that we will persevere and never cease performing our roles as Eru decreed."

"And the Childen who are to come?"

"These celestial lights will give them hope; and hope, although a small, flickering thing, has immense strength."
