Disclaimer: I own the plot, the music man, and the kick A song.

THE MUSIC MAN

Prologue

The music man would travel across Middle Earth playing or singing, and delighting passersby. Only by the main rivers would he appear, never in cities or towns.

There was numerous unrecorded lore concerning the music man, some tales suggesting he was paranormal, and others of his madness.

One day he disappeared.

No one ever found a trace of him. No instruments, no body, nothing. Only faded memories.

Some given year, in the second age, on the banks of Anduin, a large wind arose. And in the wind was a song.

Women hold your children close

Anduin's got a singing ghost

Men will succumb to my haunting voice

I'm the music man.

When winds a'blowin

My song will spread across the lands

Leaving your sorry souls

In my merciless hands,

I'm the music man.

And, as the song foretold, when high winds were nigh the serenade was heard across Middle Earth.

The veins of the song were the rivers, and those closest to it had no hope of living, for they would jump into the river.

Nobody knew exactly what happens to the innocents, and many were lost.

Never did Glorfindel think that this child's tale would hold the lives of everyone in Middle Earth.
