    Summary

    Dimitri broods atop the fallen stone as a beast atop its kills, his lance, its blade blood-flaked, resting over one shoulder. His cape steams faintly in the sunlight, dampness rising in small spurts of mist from its sodden material. Even his armor is poorly maintained, the seams of blue and black metal flecked with rust and the hook and eye closures holding his gorget to his cuirass too loose for comfort.

    Summary

    I thought about not asking, but I kind of wanted to know. "What are you doing?"

    "Crocheting. It's something to do with my hands while I chew over a big problem in my head."

    Gross.

    Summary

    “Hey, there you are,” said Wei-qianbei. “Bad dreams? They’re going around.”
    Sizhui nodded slowly. Bad dreams, yes. He used to have awful nightmares. But this one —
    “Come on, come join us,” said Wei-qianbei cheerfully. “We’re giving up on sleep for the night.”

    Summary

    "Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

    “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

    Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”
