Summary
"He will outlive them all, Maglor will. He will raise sons, watch one be buried, he will live to sing and at some points, even laugh. And every day of his life will be measured against this day. Not the day he spills blood into the water but the day before, the one he spends watching the Teleri harbour. Against the sounds of people living and dreaming, unaware as to the ways in which people covet the dreams of others and name it need. A snatch of poetry comes to him, a series of minor chords, and he files them away automatically, for later. And that is when Maglor realises he is no different from the others waiting upon the dock. That he too, has begun to dream Teleri-dreams."

One day before the First Kinslaying at Alqualondë, Fëanor and his sons sit on the docks and watch the Teleri build their swan-ships.
