Magnificent story, Kenaz. Written with your usual poetry. Sad and moving and yet at the end there is hope for forgiveness. I particularly loved that it was both their stories, that through Maglor, Daeron rediscovers his passion, and then is able to offer Maglor, the martyr the possibility of redemption. I found that Maglor's love for his brothers and family as reason for what he did very persuasive. His story about his brother leaving him by tree and the other small tales of a large family life, that love is finally what frees his voice.
Many favorite lines. Here are a few: but they were my history, the children of my head and hand and heart.
"We knew love, Daeron. Great love. Can you imagine what it is to have six brothers?
That had been the difference in our music then, as it was now: I had the mastery over words and their shaping while Maglor's raw emotion brought the words to life.
Here was, at long last, a requiem for the sons of Fëanor, a threnody for the Dispossessed.
