Accidental Video | Seelie & Unseelie | sometime during a break in worm fighting

[bythewaves]

[ The locket comes alive with a voice - deep and wild as the sea, it sings a lament in a language that seems made for music. The songs starts partway, and it is obvious perhaps that the singer is not aware that he is being recorded. There is the flash of one of the Unseelie imps, before it vanishes offscreen to reveal the singer - a man, or something like one, dark haired and grey eyed, with his face turned up to the stars.

To any who listen, the words of the song will paint themselves in the mind - white ships and blood on the sand, a tall and proud people with bright banners beneath a new-born sun, fire and blood and tears unimaginable, and three brilliant jewels that rival the stars ]

She is beautiful and I am glad that you have such happiness. She tells me she is bethrothed to Elrond.

And so she is, in her time. In my own, she was wed long ago and has raised three beautiful children of her own. [Yep. Your baby cousin is a grandmother.]

[ Maglor raises a hand to his mouth and makes a choked noise that might be joy or grief (it is so intermingled in him that he can no longer tell the difference) Elrond is a father! ]

I am so glad that you have found such happiness [ he manages in the end ]

[inafadingcrown]

Thank you, cousin. [Her voice and her smile are both soft.] There has been much sorrow for me since last we spoke, but also much joy.

It is ever that way, it seems, that all paths are drenched in sorrow. I am glad that yours, at least, has led you back to happiness again.
