Wow, loved the comic irony you threw in the regarding Ecthelion. Very Tarot-cardish. And wow, Maeglin's a twisted little shit, isn't he? Loved that!

You know, Pengolodh was the one who compiled the material found in Tolkien's legendarium and shared it with AElfwine. And I hear that he was the greatest loremaster since Feanor and his master Rumil. That right there, that's some high praise. I should like to know him a trifle better. Thank you for this story. *Authoress saves this as a favorite*

Great story, I love the foreshadowing.

I am of course on Maeglin's side. Knowledge is power, morality only weights us down! LOL

There is a mediaeval Armenian math assignment that had Armenian Hero killing Persian soldiers in batches, the task is to add them all up and see how many remained alive. I can track it down for you if you want.

"Ecthelion keeps on dying by either water or balrog" Glorfindel just doesn't know how true his words are. lol

Sweet irony. I simply love it. I like how you sneak the playing cards of foreshadowing in there!

Hahaha! Even though I LOVE Maeglin, this was still hysterical! Very funny little piece! :D

-Crackers

Interesting story. I am sure Maeglin would disturb the elves of Gondolin greatly.

Ouch. That is very disturbing! Although for the maths, I really could start using elves and orcs. But... 2elves5orcs10. Erm..never mind. But Maeglin is very disturbing. Very very disturbing. But the last part...

'Ecthelion keeps on dying by either water or balrog'

I GET THAT! He drowned in your other fanfiction, didn't he? That's epic xDD Very very epic!

Distinctly eerie.
