This is just a little story of Maedhros that decided to pop into my mind.It might not be 100 accurate but please bare with me, it's 1:30 a.m!
(R and R damn it)
The pain.
The pain is so fresh in my mind.
I can feel it even as i tell this story.
The fiery bite of the whip. The sharp sting of the sword. These i will never be allowed to forget. Their mark is still imprinted upon my skin. Never had i known such pain. Never had i thought it possible to inflict such suffering on another being.
I was tricked into slavery. I, Maedhros, eldest son of Feanor, was dragged to Morgoth and thrown in front of him like a dog and not the heir to Valinor. As if it were not enough that i was shamed and stripped of my dignity, i was chained to Thangorodrim and left there in rags.
More years than anyone would care to count had passed. Would i ever see my brothers again? Would i ever be free?
It was as if by a miracle thatFingon arrived. After years of imprisonment, my freedom was about to be restored. It was as though the Valar had smiled upon me, that my torture was finally abou to end. How wrong i was.
I had lost everything. My pride, my dignity, my status. And now i had lost my arm. But if it meant that i never again had to kneel in front of Morgoth, and shame my entire race again, i would do it a thousand times again.
Now, as i sit in my room, in front of the fire and am flooded with memories of centuries past, i remember all thecompanions and kin that have been taken off of this earth.
My father, Feanor, dead on the plains of Angband,his banner stained by his own blood.
My brother, Celegorm, slain by Dior at the halls of Menegroth.
Maglor, who will forever roam the earth, singing laments of all the terrible deeds he committed under his oath.
Everything i have ever loved is gone. I know that i do not have much time until i too will lose my life, but i am certain that when i leave my story will echo through the ages and the great Noldor princes of Valinor will forever be remembered.
Rest well, my brothers, for soon we will be reunited.
Soon, what i have been longing for all these years will my finally come within my reach. My freedom.
