Ah bards...yes, what to say about this specific one? Well I do think as a writer I am a work in progress. There is always something to learn, to try and master as I gather all sorts of story ideas as if I would be the rat catcher of Hameln. I love to write about Maglor and Celegorm, but the rest of the family is incredibly fun too. Besides reading about the Fëanorians, I do love reading about Númenor and its inhabitants.

This first vignette (the first one of seven) is written for Seven Sins challenge of the Open Scrolls Archive. This was the challenge: Pick 1-3 characters/pairings and include the same characters in all seven fiction based on the Seven Deadly Sins: Envy, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, Greed. I decided to go for two characters who you don't see that often together in a story and explored their brotherly bond.
