Summary
It was not Maedhros, nor Maglor, first. Elros would not learn his name until much later. He had not seen them, but Elros had seen him. A red-haired elf, bow in hand, eyes flashing with fury as he hunted for something, anything to kill. Elros knew that face from the soldiers who guarded the palisade, the ones Mother told him not to speak with, the blonde ones who watched the forest with such longing. They had fled something awful. It shouted from behind their eyes. It could barely be restrained. This elf kept it down much worse than them. Amras. Amras of the broken bond, of the lost twin, of the infinite sorrows.
Could you stand it? To watch?
To watch it happen to Elrond. To see his own twin go vacant behind the eyes, missing something eternally, to fill that emptiness with the fire that already dared to consume him. He cared too much. He was more like Maedhros than he wished to admit.
