Collection of Potluck Drabbles by Artano

Contrast/Minimum/Twilight/Mother

As his diary entry shows, Fëanor has complicated reasons for creating the Silmarils

I made a breakthrough in capturing the Trees' Light today.  But doing so necessitated combining the Lights, which reduces the contrast between the gold and silver.  With this method, I shall not be able to create a single gem preserving Telperion's Light, which looks so like Mother's hair, unpolluted by Laurelin's.  Still, the mingled Lights shall appear as the trees do at twilight, and the mixing produces an effect that reflects and increases the light surrounding them that from my measurements appears to be double at the minimum. Yet I shall continue with attempting to isolate Telperion's light.
