Summary
"The sword remembered by history is rarely the sword that falls. The mistake is in thinking history exists to preserve a thing that happened, when in truth it only exists to replace what happened with an account of what happened. The true event retreats before its own record as a stone retreats beneath soft, vivid-green moss, each retelling another layer of growth, each layer another season's omission, until all that stands is the surface that has consumed the stone. The stone is still there, technically, at the core, but the core is no longer the story. The moss is the story. The moss is what you touch when you reach out to feel the stone."
___________________________In Doriath, Maglor catches a glimpse of two young princes being taken into a forest, only to disappear in the blink of an eye. Years later, as Sirion burns to the ground, he comes across two younger princes engrossed in a game of knucklebones.

Summary
As prince Curufinwë Fëanáro makes an historical speech from the high court of the King upon Túna, those at the back of the crowd strain to hear.
A silly little scene inspired by Monty Python's "Blessed are the Cheesemakers" scene from The Life of Brian, written for SWG's Everyman Challenge April 2026, using the prompt:
"A great multitude gathered swiftly, therefore, to hear what he would say; and the hill and all the stairs and streets that climbed upon it were lit with the light of many torches that each one bore in hand." ("Of the Flight of the Noldor")
