    Summary

    "The sword remembered by history is rarely the sword that falls. The mistake is in thinking history exists to preserve a thing that happened, when in truth it only exists to replace what happened with an account of what happened. The true event retreats before its own record as a stone retreats beneath soft, vivid-green moss, each retelling another layer of growth, each layer another season's omission, until all that stands is the surface that has consumed the stone. The stone is still there, technically, at the core, but the core is no longer the story. The moss is the story. The moss is what you touch when you reach out to feel the stone."
    ___________________________

    In Doriath, Maglor catches a glimpse of two young princes being taken into a forest, only to disappear in the blink of an eye. Years later, as Sirion burns to the ground, he comes across two younger princes engrossed in a game of knucklebones.

    Summary

    “I am your King!” He roared, and advanced forward until she could retreat no longer, the table bumping against the small of her back. “And your brothers have forgotten their place. It is not their business, their right, to forge such alliances or make such promises. I should have them all execu—”

    “What would you have them do, then? What would you have me do?” she interrupted, near panic in her voice, eager to quell the rising tide of his wrath.

    Feänor considered her, the desperation overwhelming her anger, and knew he was close.

    So close.

    “I am in a precarious position, Artanis. I cannot allow dissent. It weakens us before our enemies and threatens everything we hold dear. Your brothers must obey.”

    “They will, my king,” she promised, the words half-catching in her throat. “Please, my king,” she begged, and the lilt and cadence of her voice, throaty and tight from panic sent a hot jolt of pleasure to his groin.

    “I think you could help me, Artanis. I have great need of you, in truth, and while these are not the circumstances I would have sought to obtain you, I will not waste the opportunity.”

    Summary

    “We have given you time,” Celegorm said. “You are my brother’s wife. That gives me a share of you.”

    “Not to me, it doesn’t,” Silithúr snapped, and had gone to take refuge by Curufin, who looked upon her fear indulgently. That was not the same thing as protection, she keenly knew. The problem with relying upon his word was that he had never understood her objection, only humored it.

    Eventually his patience ran out.
