Open Accidental/Deliberate Post to EVERYONE 29th

The sound that tears from the lockets early in the morning of the twenty-ninth is inhuman. Keening, jagged and sharp-edged as a sword, it turns blood in veins to ice and freezes the very stars in the sky. It is grief and loss and utter despair. And it is hatred too, old and deep and as dangerous as any slumbering volcano when it wakes. It is unforgettable, and it forces you to close your ears to it lest it destroy your heart.

The video that accompanies it is obviously taken by a fairy, and the scene is one of devastation, Maglor crumpled over a golden-haired form. One thing immediately obvious is that this, despite the war banners flying and the armored soldiers, was no death in battle - the area around them is too clear, the placements too precise - this was an execution.

"Turko, Turko, no no no! Not again, no, please, not again!"



(ooc: so... Mags is obviously not replying to this. Link will take you to the battle log and Mags' speech, rather than me write it out twice ahaha. There is also a log going up for after where Mags can be reached... sorta. Will might answer this if you ping it, or you can just react. People Mags knows well might get his fairy, but don't expect much sense out of it either)

[ She can't even begin to choke out words. His words may be absurd, but they do ring partially with her. She's tired, angry, and horrified beyond words right now. So when she sees this, her heart aches, because she knows that maddening pain all too well. What would anyone do if they found their family member like this? Wouldn't they too be devastated? The idiot said he was going to withdraw troops and go back with the jewel and this isn't what she was expecting.

Alice manages a choked sob, stifling herself with a hand over her mouth. Mourn the dead, but more the living more than the dead because they have to carry that pain, too. Anger will follow suit; this could have been avoided had both sides talked rationally. She does not know any of them very well, still, the shock is inevitable.

There's really no words, other than wishing things could have been very, very different. Alice covers her face, taking in deep breaths to calm herself. This whole thing is ridiculous; this scene is horrible to watch. ]
