Winter Solstice by Narya
Fanwork Notes
Written for the June challenge prompts ("solstice" and "half-drabble") at the Tolkien Short Fanworks community on Dreamwidth - but since it's Maglor in history, I think it hits the brief for this one too. I have gone with Tolkien's assumption that the 20th century roughly equated to the Seventh Age.

The morning gloom thinned. The revellers waited, wreathed in their own frozen breath - then the sun leapt over the stones and shone through the trees like blood.
A small girl gasped. "Fire!"
Maglor smiled. The deep winter dawn pressed into his bones. He turned to the west, and walked on.
