Maglor walks along the deserted promenade. It is a long time since he was a prince. An empty aluminium can keeps him company for a while, rolling along in the night wind. As he passes a street lamp, its colour is revealed as purple. Sparkling grape juice? He drops it in a bin.
The wind turns; music wafts from the pier. Happy golden days of yore. Maglor frowns. Someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow. The promise tinkles out over the water, miles and miles of black waves. Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow…
Chapter End Notes
The song "(Have yourself a) merry little Christmas" is by the songwriters Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane and was sung by Judy Garland in "Meet me in St Louis". The title as well as the lines in italics are from the song lyrics in the version they occur in the film.
Originally written for Tolkien Weekly for the prompt word "prince", taken from the Disney song "Some day my prince will come".
