#51 On the Brink

Tulkas ran. He pushed all other thoughts from his mind and focused on one thing: to catch up with Melkor and bring him back to Manwë. Whether he would be in one piece when he brought the traitor before him was another matter altogether.

Melkor just destroyed the Two Trees casting all Valinor into utter darkness and chaos. By the time they realized what happened and who was at fault, Melkor was far away, so Tulkas had to run as far and fast as he could to catch up to him.

The Vala was on the brink of catching up to Melkor; however, it was too late. Melkor crossed the icy Helcaraxë and was out of reach of Tulkas and all the other Valar. Tulkas cursed. Very rarely would he be pushed to anger and this was on one such occasion. Knowing he had been defeated by the biggest tyrant of all, he let out a huge roar slamming his fist into the ground. Then turning back, he slowly made his way back to Manwë to report his failure.
