Humans are like stars. You either live short but brilliant lives and blow up at the end in a rainbow murder bomb, or you live forever, go through a mid-life crisis, and then compress into a cold hyper pressurized diamond for the rest of reality with everyone debating if you’re dead or not.

but remember how larian was complaining that in Baldur's Gate 3 people just made the Vault Dweller in their character creation when they gave all those cool variant options for a protag, but at the same time made companions who are just 90% elf or some elf variation with the rest of the 10% being human or Karlach.

Embrace Your Rejections: Pluto's Journey
Photo by ZCH on Pexels.com Greetings, stargazers and dreamers! Today, we embark on a cosmic journey to the far reaches of our solar system, where we encounter a celestial body that has captured our imaginations and taught us a valuable lesson: Pluto, the dwarf planet. While some may debate its planetary status, Pluto stands as a symbol of individuality and resilience, reminding us to embrace our…

Chekhov Reads Dungeon Meshi: CH50
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This has huge 'rocks fall, everyone dies' from the DM energy.
Tumblr media
Or maybe you stepped through the mushroom DNA-shuffler circle last chapter and now your stomach is trying to digest you from the inside out.
Tumblr media
Oh gods. He's a dwarf. They got freaky Friday'd.
Tumblr media
............I have no comments for this. I don't know what to say.
Tumblr media
You know. I've seen this panel many times. But for some reason I thought this was like, an omake or a side chapter.
Unless this IS a side chapter? Is it all a dream??? This IS chapter 50, right?
Tumblr media
....yeah, Chil? You don't seem thrilled.
Tumblr media
LMAO. The cover redraw!
And apparently Izutsumi kept her long tail.
Tumblr media
Elf!Senshi just having magical wind in his hair the whole time is high key hilarious. Where is the breeze coming from? Maybe he's born with it.
Also, are those giant spools...?
Tumblr media
Ahhh, right, Halflings are known for being more sensitive than the other humans.
I'm just happy he finally got his, and got to pet Marcille and Laios on the head. :)
Tumblr media
"The ground is so far away! It's scary!" LMAO. That's real.
Tumblr media
Laios as a Kobold. Finally, he could achieve maximum fursona.
Tumblr media
.....ah, well--..... yeah.
Tumblr media
Hey, it's the door!
Arriving to really important places under really silly circumstances - that's two for two. (I'm specifically talking about the frog costumes but there may be others)
Tumblr media
...isn't this door like. Super rare? Very difficult to find?
And you're telling me some other randos have already been here and didn't even clean up?
Tumblr media
Laios, I love you, but Chillchuck JUST told you there was no remedy that he was aware of aside from just like, forms of torture.
You're not thinking this one through, buddy.
Tumblr media
He was hibernating.....
But actually - they DID call for the winged lion's aid, right?
GASP
What if.... Kensuke.... IS the lion!
Tumblr media
AH SHIT. If she's a halfling, then that means she's bad with magic, right? They have low tolerance to the feedback magic gives or something? I don't remember the details now but...
Tumblr media
Wuh-oh. (I don't think that's how agitation works in any species, but sure. For the drama.)
Tumblr media
Why is he the only one who suffered a severe personality change...?
Tumblr media
Apex predators need their naps.......
Tumblr media
Sacrifices have to be made, Toshiro.
Tumblr media
Izutsumi Got. That. Ball. Bell.
Tumblr media
......Mechanus?
Tumblr media
Where DID you get that from? You had one food poisoning scare, that doesn't mean it's not real!
Tumblr media
I wish I could feel this level of peace while cooking.
Tumblr media
Ah so.... this is not a place of honor?
It sounds like there's two cultures that got REALLY into the space race, turned a cold war into a hot one, and are now going "well, we can't have nice things because of.... us. because of us. but you all still can't have nice things!"
Tumblr media
That might be.... a terrible idea.

Virtual Character Tourney - FINAL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda below (May contain spoilers)
Hatsune Miku propaganda:
she is hatsune fucking miku. progenitor of the character vocal series. she is everything
she's literally the OG virtual girl…
first sound of the future and the most iconic #Girl in the world. everybody loves her. liking vocaloid is not a prerequisite to liking miku she is everything to me she is blue hair blue tie hiding in your wifi. And she is my best friend
Hera propaganda:
Shes badass and runs the whole space station because she pretty much is the space station. :)
Truly one of my fave character arcs of all time. Like. Her body is a space station but people can rip out her brain but she wants to kill people but she forgets how fragile human life is but she can find loopholes around any rule you give her but she LOVES her FRIENDS. I'm OBSESSED with her.
She is the AI running an entire space station orbiting around a red dwarf star. She's tried bypassing her programming to keep everyone on the station multiple times just to see if she could (and it ends up saving the day at one point). She also has been programmed with anxiety (basically a glitch that'll pop up that repeats the phrase "I can't do this. I'm not good enough") by her creator and she learns how to get around this. She's picked up sarcasm from one of her human shipmates, she died and came back, she is all around a 10/10. Sorry I just really love Hera

You Are Made of Stardust
Though the billions of people on Earth may come from different areas, we share a common heritage: we are all made of stardust! From the carbon in our DNA to the calcium in our bones, nearly all of the elements in our bodies were forged in the fiery hearts and death throes of stars.
Tumblr media
The building blocks for humans, and even our planet, wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for stars. If we could rewind the universe back almost to the very beginning, we would just see a sea of hydrogen, helium, and a tiny bit of lithium.
The first generation of stars formed from this material. There’s so much heat and pressure in a star’s core that they can fuse atoms together, forming new elements. Our DNA is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. All those elements (except hydrogen, which has existed since shortly after the big bang) are made by stars and released into the cosmos when the stars die.
Tumblr media
Each star comes with a limited fuel supply. When a medium-mass star runs out of fuel, it will swell up and shrug off its outer layers. Only a small, hot core called a white dwarf is left behind. The star’s cast-off debris includes elements like carbon and nitrogen. It expands out into the cosmos, possibly destined to be recycled into later generations of stars and planets. New life may be born from the ashes of stars.
Tumblr media
Massive stars are doomed to a more violent fate. For most of their lives, stars are balanced between the outward pressure created by nuclear fusion and the inward pull of gravity. When a massive star runs out of fuel and its nuclear processes die down, it completely throws the star out of balance. The result? An explosion!
Supernova explosions create such intense conditions that even more elements can form. The oxygen we breathe and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium are flung into space by these supernovas.
Tumblr media
Supernovas can also occur another way in binary, or double-star, systems. When a white dwarf steals material from its companion, it can throw everything off balance too and lead to another kind of cataclysmic supernova. Our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study these stellar explosions to figure out what’s speeding up the universe’s expansion. 
This kind of explosion creates calcium – the mineral we need most in our bodies – and trace minerals that we only need a little of, like zinc and manganese. It also produces iron, which is found in our blood and also makes up the bulk of our planet’s mass!
Tumblr media
A supernova will either leave behind a black hole or a neutron star – the superdense core of an exploded star. When two neutron stars collide, it showers the cosmos in elements like silver, gold, iodine, uranium, and plutonium.
Tumblr media
Some elements only come from stars indirectly. Cosmic rays are nuclei (the central parts of atoms) that have been boosted to high speed by the most energetic events in the universe. When they collide with atoms, the impact can break them apart, forming simpler elements. That’s how we get boron and beryllium – from breaking star-made atoms into smaller ones.
Half a dozen other elements are created by radioactive decay. Some elements are radioactive, which means their nuclei are unstable. They naturally break down to form simpler elements by emitting radiation and particles. That’s how we get elements like radium. The rest are made by humans in labs by slamming atoms of lighter elements together at super high speeds to form heavier ones. We can fuse together elements made by stars to create exotic, short-lived elements like seaborgium and einsteinium.
Tumblr media
From some of the most cataclysmic events in the cosmos comes all of the beauty we see here on Earth. Life, and even our planet, wouldn’t have formed without them! But we still have lots of questions about these stellar factories. 
In 2006, our Stardust spacecraft returned to Earth containing tiny particles of interstellar dust that originated in distant stars, light-years away – the first star dust to ever be collected from space and returned for study. You can help us identify and study the composition of these tiny, elusive particles through our Stardust@Home Citizen Science project.
Our upcoming Roman Space Telescope will help us learn more about how elements were created and distributed throughout galaxies, all while exploring many other cosmic questions. Learn more about the exciting science this mission will investigate on Twitter and Facebook.
Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

In the closet
Tumblr media
Synopsis: How did you end up in the closet with Sekido with his brother outside listening in?
Warnings: Backshots, degrading, biting, light choking, impact play, Human AU hantengu brothers, hair pulling, cervix fucking, creampie, size kink (if you squint) Sekido is actually a huge simp for reader
Word count: 1k
Pairing: Sekido x fem!reader
This was written as a request by @officialdemonfucker for the 7mih part of my 1k event! I hope you liked it bby!
Network: @enchantedforest-network
Tumblr media
You’re not sure how this happened. Locked in a closet with Sekido, his cock digging through your folds as his pelvis met with your ass and his fingers tangled into your hair. His grunts and groans fill the small area as well as your saccharine moans. Your eyes were rolling to the back of your head as your scalp burns from the abuse Sekido was causing with his rough yanks.
“Keep up. You wanted my cock like the needy slut you are.” He spits, red eyes narrowed as he watches his length disappear within your drenched pussy.  The hand that was gripping your waist slaps the rounded flesh of your ass harshly, the imprint of his palm highlighting your skin. “Go on, nasty bitch. Fuck yourself on my dick."
Your thighs trembled as you pushed back against him, using your hands to help you move back on his cock. A whine builds up in your throat when it didn’t feel as good as when he was in control of the pace. “Se-Sekido...pul-please?” You beg, trying to turn your head to look at him over your shoulder.
Sekido is quick to grab the back of your neck, pressing your cheek against the door of the closet. “Did I fucking say you could look at me?”  He growled, nails digging into the delicate skin of your nape. You could almost swore you heard a grin in his voice as he pressed his hips into your plush ass. And he was. The love sick smirk graces his lips when you begged for him to fuck you. 
His tongue slides out – the Kanji for “Anger” tattooed on the pink flesh – to touch the side of your neck up to your ear. “I asked you a question. And I expect an answer.” Sekido roughly thrust his length deeper, the mushroomed tip slamming against your cervix and making you keen out loudly. “Answer me or you won’t cum.”
You let out another sob at his mean words. How could you speak from how brutally he was thrusting into your cunt, the loud squelches mixing with the sounds of your whimpers filing the small space. A yelp is torn from you when his sharp canines bite down on your shoulder as his hand brands the skin of your ass again. 
“Answer my question, nasty bitch or I’ll edge you all night long in this closet.” Sekido snarls in your ear as his hand wraps around your neck, thumb pressing firmly against your vocal cords. He slows his hips down, but still thrusts so deeply onto you – bullying your insides with his thick cock. “Did. I. Say. You. Could. Look. At. Me.” Each word was punctuated with a brutal snap of his hips that stole the air from your lungs with each one.
“N-no!” You choke out, tears burning at your eyes as you press the palms of your hands against the door, your cheek still against the wooden surface. If he hears your cries, Sekido ignores you as his thrusting becomes slower and slower until his cock is just being warmed inside your walls. “Se-Sekido...” You whine out before his thumb presses down on the center of your throat.”
His lips pull up into another smile at your submission and a purr rumbles in his chest as he squeezes your neck. Sekido’s other hand slips between your thighs to rub two calloused fingers over your delicate clit. “Hn.” His short little laugh echoes in your ear as he whispers. “No? No, what?” 
Your body trembles as you struggle to remain standing as he teases the hood of your sensitive nerve before pulling it back to reveal the little bead of flesh. “No, you didn’t say that I could Sekido.”  Another sob leaves you when his fingers rub roughly at your clit as you feel him drape his body over yours, dwarfing you in his size. 
“And how should you repay me? Hmm?” Sekido’s grin widens as he watches your try to squirm away from his fingers, but his arm is locked around your torso and prevents it. “Don’t you dare fucking run from me.” He pulls out until just the swollen tip remains inside your gummy walls. “I suppose I can just fuck you stupid as repayment for pissing me off, wench.” Thrusting inside you, hips slapping against the rounded flesh of your ass, Sekido circles your clit even faster. 
“Go on. Cum for me. Even if you don’t deserve my cock.” Sekido grunts as his hand leaves your throat so that he could hear your honey laced moans in favor of tangling in your hair. “Be the dirty whore I know you are for me, slut.” He growls when you clench down on his cock at his words.
Your eyes slide close as you lose yourself in the fucking Sekido was doing to your cunt – his cock bullying against your cervix and probably bruising it with each stroke. Your mouth falls open as drool seeps out of the corner. You claw at the door as your cheek presses against it – the sticky wet sounds of your squelching pussy permeates the small space of the closet. Heat blooms in your lower belly as Sekido’s skilled fingers work over your throbbing clit.
“Fuck!” You feel your thighs begin to shake and tremble as that sensitive nerve twitches. “Cumming. Cumming, Sekido!” Your walls flutter as your pussy creams and gushes around his length. Feeling the strength leave your legs, if it wasn’t for his arms wrapping around your hips, you would have fallen to your knees. “Sekido....I can’t...”
Red eyes watch gleefully at the thick rings of white that coats his cock as his lips split into a grin. “You can and you will take this cock. I’m going to cum inside. You want that, don’t you, greedy slut. Your pussy is sucking me in and won’t let go. You were starved for my dick.” His cock twitches within you as his ball grows heavy – his thrusting growing sporadic. Sekido tosses his head back as his hand moves to grab your hips. “Take it. Fucking take it all, bitch.”
You moan at the hot feeling of his seed spilling over inside, flooding your cervix. Your chest heaves as you struggle to catch your breath as he slowly fucks his cum deeper into yur twitching hole. “Sekido, I –”
 A knock on the door interrupts you as Karaku’s voice comes from behind. “Ne, ne, Sekido! When will it be our turn? My balls are about to burst!”

Hello I have a request for thorin!!
Can you please write a Thorin x afab!human reader, in which her family line worked for the line of Durin for many many years, and during the meeting at bilbo’s, Gandalf brings her along with him and Thorin recognizes her immediately because of her similarities to her family & he gets a little emotional and happy? :) Or anything of that sort! thank you in advance <3
A Part from Home ~ Thorin x afab!Human!Reader
A/N: Omg I'm so happy to get a request for Thorin haha! Ngl I struggled a bit because I didn't really know in what kind of direction I was going with this but I still think it turned out quiet nice and wholesome (I also let my best friend read through it and she said she blushed and smiled so Ig it’s approved) :) If you want a pt. 2 I can always do that :) But I still hope you like it and enjoy reading it <33
⇢ ˗ˏˋ Warnings: Softness, wholesomeness ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Words: 933 ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Request: Yes (Thank you <33) ࿐ྂ
Summary: Tagging along for an adventure with Gandalf, you didn't expect to run into people that remind you of your lost home.
Tumblr media
The night was dark as you walked alongside Gandalf on a small path through a town called Hobbiton. A soft cold breeze accompanied you on your travels. The soft chirping sound of grasshoppers paired well with the gentle glow of the fireflies, giving the small village a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. “Gandalf, is there a reason why you chose to take me with you on this adventure?” You asked him, shifting your heavy bag on your shoulder. Inhaling the smoke from his pipe he looks down at you. “Well, of course there is a reason to that.” He blows out the smoke, forming rings on the way up into the dark sky.
“Care to explain them to me?” At your inquiry, the wizard just let out a chuckle and shook his head, indicating you that he will keep it a secret for now. “You will find your answers during your journey (Y/N).” With that, the wizard knocked on a little green wooden door, which was connected to a hole in the ground. “Why do you have to keep it a secret from me?” You continue to interrogate him. However, Gandalf’s attention was fully focused on the hobbit that just opened the door. “Bilbo Baggins, it is nice to see you again.” Walking through the door the both of you enter into the small but pleasant home. Boisterous laughter and cheers could be heard from the table further down.
“Why on earth are dwarves swarming my home Gandalf?” The hobbit seizes, while slowly turning towards you. “Oh- Hello, my name is (Y/N). It is nice to make your acquaintance” You quickly introduce yourself, smiling at the man whose house you just entered. “Bilbo Baggins, the pleasure is all mine.” He gives you a tight-lipped smile before gesturing you to set your baggage to the rest of the bags that are already perched by the door. Setting your stuff aside, you follow Gandalf into the room, filled with dwarves that are sitting around a table.
“Gandalf, I didn’t expect you to be the last one to join in on this important meeting.” A dark-haired dwarf mentioned. Two braids on either side of his head framed his bearded face perfectly. “My apologies, I had to make a detour and collect your 15th member for the company.” Thorins gaze drifted towards you, making you shuffle on the spot a little. Most of the dwarves stopped talking and focused their attention towards you and Gandalf, as well as Bilbo, who stood beside you. The dwarven kings’ eyes locked onto your own as something unrecognizable flickered in his gaze. “Gandalf, you invited a human into the company?” One dwarf muttered, making you raise your eyebrow in annoyance. “I might be a human, however, my family has served for the line of Durin for generations. I know exactly how to handle my weapons and I am more than capable to protect myself and I am pretty sure that I could even take you down in a fight.” You snap back, shutting him up immediately. A chuckle escapes Thorin, as he made some space for Gandalf and you to join around on the table to talk about the mission at hand.
After investigating the map and Bilbo refusing to sign the contract, that was handed to him, you all started to clean up the mess that has been created throughout the entire meeting. Thorin walked up to you while you were washing the dishes used earlier. “I knew you seemed familiar the second my eyes landed on you.” He murmurs, taking a towel to dry the wet dishes. “How come?” “Like you said, your family has been loyal to the Durin line for centuries. You share a lot of familiarities with your mother.” You smile softly at the remembrance of the time you spent with her in Erebor. “I remember I used to constantly beg her to take me to work with her.” “Can you remember anything from the time you were there?” He asked you tentatively. “Not much, I was very young back then. I think I always brought little flower crowns I made in the garden for the royal family.” At that statement he chuckled softly. “Yes, I always made sure to wear them, when you were around. Else you would just pout at me, hang on my leg and spend the entire day with me instead of your mother.” A blush dusted your cheeks at that statement. “Hmm seems very made up to me. I really don’t remember that ever happening so I think you must be lying.” The two of you laugh, finishing up the rest of your work.
“Care to join me for a walk?” Thorin gently asks, holding out his hand to take for you. Placing your own in his, a welcoming warmth spreads through your body. As you both step outside into the cold night, you walk towards the stream, flowing through the small town. “I always wondered if your family made it out alive of Erebor.” His gaze was cold at the remembrance of the day the dragon decided to use the kingdom as it’s new home. “I barely remember that day, I just know that we somehow got away.” Looking at the reflection of the stars in the water you thought about your family, that moved to Esgaroth after the attack of the beast.
“I am glad to have you here. It feels like I have a piece of my home with me.” He smiles softly at you. Returning his with a smile of your own you squeeze his hand, that was still holding yours. “We will get back our home. We will fight for what is rightfully ours.” You reassure him, looking into his bright blue eyes that glimmer with hope. You will get your home back. Even if it is the last thing you will do.

Seconds Chances Are Worth Living For
Maglor x human!reader
Tumblr media
Request: Hi can I request an fic (or onehsot) where a human finds Maglor wondering the beach where he threw the silmaril and they help him? - anon
Warnings: human!reader, light angst with happy ending/comfort, depressed and gloomy Maglor
Words: 1.3k
Synopsis: Nobody ever said second chances in life were easy, nor were changes necessary to bring them.
Tumblr media
“Will you not come with me?”
His heart twisted painfully; your words lingered in the air like an unwelcome odour he desperately wished to dispel. Too often had these haunting words surfaced in his mind during the agonizing days of solitude. Too many times, he found himself yearning for them to materialize into reality, yet he remained resolute in his pride, steadfast against the prospect of accepting forgiveness. Deep within, he longed for the warmth of a fireplace, enclosed by walls of solace and finality—enough respite from the harshness of the ocean waves and the mournful cries of seagulls.
His posture, detached upon the rugged rocks, nearly melding into the static structure, remained unmoved. On the contrary, you stood unwavering before him, your gaze fixed upon his threadbare form draped in the remnants of shame and despair. It was a clash between an immovable object and an unstoppable force, and you were determined not to be the one to yield. Whether it was destiny or the cosmic alignment that led you to his desolate presence on the shores of Forlindon, you were resolved not to depart without pulling him away.
Defiance surged through your veins as you continued to face his statuesque figure, yet you restrained yourself from encroaching upon his personal space.
“If you stay another hour, you may succumb to fatal illness,” you pleaded, voice above a whisper. A strong gust of wind roamed the shores, prompting you to curl your cloak around your shoulders tightly to your body. There was a faint chattering of your teeth as you gathered the courage to speak up again. “Please, there is a cabin not too far away from these shores. The least you can do is come with me for something warm to eat and drink, perhaps a warmer change of apparel?”
Maglor’s gaze stretched into the distance, fixed upon the horizon, while his fingers gracefully danced through the air, as if caressing an unseen harp. Murmuring unfamiliar words, too delicate for mortal ears to grasp, his lament echoed the sorrows of a bygone era when the world was in its infancy. This was the poignant scene that unfolded before you: Maglor, singing with a voice textured like sandpaper, tears encrusting his eyelids, lips weathered and parted, fingers weaving through the invisible threads of melody, and eyes reflecting a profound abyss of desolation.
In a single glance, your heart welled with empathy, and tears threatened to spill from your lashes. In a burst of compassion, you implored and beseeched him to find solace within the confines of your cabin, offering a glimmer of hope to bring an end to his eternal torment.
“Please,” –you stepped closer, dwarfed by his largeness despite his malnourished physique– “I’m not asking you to stay forever if that is what you believe I seek. I only wish to help you—”
“Why?” He spoke or rather, croaked!
“Well…” you fumbled, stunned at his ability to communicate after minutes of attempting to capture his attention. “Because it is the right thing to do.”
“Why?”
Flapping your lips like a fish and furrowing your brows to mimic confusion, you stammered, “W-Well, I mean—You shouldn’t be alone out here in the element…suffering. You deserve a warm bed and comfort.”
“Why?” You never imagined that reaching out to aid a person would become so difficult. Indeed he was proving to be an unmovable object, but you were willing to be that unstoppable force who spoke wisdom into him.
For a fleeting moment, your gaze descended from his lean countenance to the weathered rock upon which he perched, his nimble fingers still weaving through the breeze in search of a haunting melody. A serene ambiance enveloped both of you, juxtaposed against the impending unease hanging in the air. The turbulent seas clashed vehemently against the headlands and platforms, while the sky hinted at an impending tempest, prompting you to ponder earnestly on what he sought from you amid the impending cataclysm.
Rubbing your cheek to battle against the frost nipping at your skin, you pinched your lips, then scratched your head as though an oncoming headache was surfacing. “Because I want to help you and I believe you are in need of help. My mortal compass would not rest well knowing that I left someone out in the element to suffer when I could relieve some of it.”
“And…what if you are…” He never finished his words for his throat seized up on him, but they lingered in the air ringing obviousness to what he was conveying.
“Wrong? Then I will learn a life lesson to not trust strangers who are on the brink of death.” Releasing a chuckle as you crinkled your nose, you looked at him once more. “I rather spend my time helping someone in need of it instead of having restless days and nights knowing I left you to suffer. If I am wrong…—everyone suffers differently, the good, the bad and the indifferent. What matters is that I helped; what you choose to do after is your choice and path.”
For the first time since your encounter, his lacklustre gaze fixed upon your earthly form, shrouded in ebony. His eyes meticulously studied every nuance of your being, from the strands of your hair down to the contour of your chin, even discerning the intricacies of your skin that radiated vitality. It was a quality of his that had languished in purgatory for countless eons. Compelling his lips to part, his pallid complexion yielded, producing droplets of moisture that emerged, imparting a semblance of colour to his wistful countenance. “But…am stran…ger.”
Resisting the urge to physically shake him by his shoulder before being beyond complex, you huffed and widened your eyes, tears threatening to spill as your emotions swallowed you. “Yes, yes! I know you are a stranger! You could be a sea creature too for all I know, who crawled out the depths of the ocean to lament his sufferings to the surface world! But none of that matters because I know a suffering person when I see one because I too… Please, let me help you. Don’t…give up without trying. Let me help...”
Maglor drew in a slow, measured breath before exhaling. It felt as though some divine intervention, dispatched by the Valar to alleviate his torment, had arrived in the form of your unwavering determination. Perhaps the burden of his endless years wandering the shores had become too much for even the Valar to bear, prompting their counsel for his return. Alternatively, this could be yet another vivid dream, a product of years spent attempting to conjure solace. Regardless, it all seemed serendipitous.
Though he longed to inquire about his fate should he accept, the strength to articulate a single syllable eluded him. As his eyes locked onto yours in search of sincerity, he grappled with the duality of seeking both truth and deceit, yearning for the former.
Setting aside his infamous pride, swallowing it like a scalding-hot, white rod, a new chapter unfolded. The courage amassed since ancient days returned, instilling confidence in his actions. However, the lack of physical strength betrayed him, causing his legs to give way, sending him tumbling into the damp sand. In that moment, he felt an overwhelming desire to weep at the transformation he had undergone and the shame he carried. Your arms delicately extended, encircling his waist, as he clung to your figure. From a once-great prince to a desolate wanderer in need of mortal compassion, Maglor held onto you as you struggled to lift him onto his feet, leaning his weakened body against yours.
“All is fine, I have you. Just walk with me, small steps and we shall get there safely and securely,” you softly reassured as you carried him towards a new beginning.
