Summary: Maglor sees death of thousands in flames

He saw the eruption from afar. Flames fell down on people, like in Dagor Bragollach. He was lucky he wasn’t in town, as he lived in Pompeii several decades ago, and he didn’t move far. Or maybe unlucky. Such death would be merciful, ending his miserable life.

He was there, when ashes cooled down, years later. People where froze where the flame catch them, some of them crouched in fear, trying to save themselves. But the heat didn’t spare. He thought of his cousins, perished in flames of Morgoth, his brother, Maedhros, who found the death in the fiery chasm.

Maglor witnessing the destruction of Pompeii is such a sad thought. Certainly it would have brought back all the memories from the first age.
