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.

Summary: Two brothers in a family with nine members and seven sins. Follow Maglor and Celegorm through one's lifetime.
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.
