At Durin's Tower there was a last surge before we both went out. He flared and fought - and then fell in a torrent of frozen rain and burning earth.
I dissolved into filaments, light as air and night-fog...
I became a receptacle for the whispers and clamour of the world, both open and cocooned. Waiting for Time to find me, once more.
