The Temptation of Knowledge by Erulisse

Chapter 1

Title: The Temptation of Knowledge

I sat in my workroom looking at the tall, meticulously groomed elf standing in front of me.  On my bench were his samples, jewelry, lamps and cunningly jointed figurines of a caliber and design that would rival Lord Aulë’s own work.  Ereinion's warning letter lay in my drawer. 

“I hope you will consider my admittance into the Gwaith-i-Mírdain,” he said smoothly. 

“I would examine these closer,” I responded.  “Return tomorrow and I will give you my answer.”  But I already knew that although I might borrow trouble by admitting Annatar, I could not turn away from his knowledge.
