Two great bards meet during the Sack of Sirion. Written for the SWG Challenge "On a Different Page." 

Prompt from Mythopoeia:

“Such isles they saw afar, and ones more fair, 
and those that hear them yet may yet beware.

and yet they would not in despair retreat, 
but oft to victory have turned the lyre 
and kindled hearts with legendary fire, 
illuminating Now and dark Hath-been 
with light of suns as yet by no man seen.”
