Silme Nuquerna - Starlight Reversed

Morgoth breaks free from the Void.

The world was old and Manwe was tired. He still loved Ea, but age weighed heavy on him. He still watched the doings of the Children, when he was awake, but sometimes he slept through centuries without knowing.

He woke when Varda gave a cry: “The stars!”

Manwe looked up and saw the stars being swallowed, sucked in by a darkness deeper than night. Living and moving, breathing malice.

“It is time”, Námo said. “Time for the Last War.”

Manwe tried to shake himself more awake. He needed all his wits about him. He needed to be ready.

He shuddered. He would never be ready to face what his brother had become during the millennia of his imprisonment in the Void.
