And the wind as sweet as honey in the mouth

I got briefly derailed from writing about the War of Wrath and instead wrote this brief story about Elrond and Maglor after the fall of Beleriand.

2516 words, lots of sand dunes.

“Four hundred years? Has it been so long? I’m not doing so well at fading as I thought.”

You're a lot tougher than you think, Maglor.

Bit of Feanorian arrogance still lurking there, I think. Obviously if Maglor son of Feanor decides to fade, then he will do it best... Oh! actually this seems to be harder than it looked. :-D

He was the last one standing of all the seven, so he was obviously pretty tough, both psychologically and as a fighter.

I'm inclined to think that perhaps being the only musician made a difference. He's the only one that we know has an art that he can easily pick up and carry around with him even when everything else is gone. I think that could mean the Oath ate him a bit less.

That seems entirely plausible. There was a part of him that remained separate from the Oath, perhaps.

I've always thought that Caranthir was so famously crabby because he knew what had happened to him and resented it furiously.
