Table of Contents
The title is in Italian. For the translation, see the Author's Note at the end.
Maglor belongs to Tolkien, and the other character isn't mine either.
People totally unfamiliar with anything Italian and Italian history in particular, are advised to read the Author's Notes first. Though for anyone who doesn't recognise the title, this may give away the (intended) surprise at the end of the first chapter.
Dedicated to my Italian friend Giulio, whose reaction to this story pointed me to the appropriate quote:
'Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men - and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.'
- J.R.R. Tolkien, Epilogue to On Fairy Stories
