Summary
“Fetch me another.”
Mairon’s gaze flickers briefly from Melkor’s twisted, rolling form to the stone slab he hunches over like a shade. The body of some nameless elf lies there, mangled and broken. Its pale skin is mottled with bruises and blisters, marred with hundreds of cuts, and obviously long-cold from death. It is merely one of thousands who have died here, upon the table, at Melkor’s hands.
Thousands more will eventually follow. None who enter these halls will escape unmarred.
“There are no others.”
—
In the deepest pits of Utumno, Melkor continues his work. But when he runs out of elves to experiment upon, his gaze turns to another to torment.
