For @misbehavingmaiar, because they asked for it. 

Curufin straightened his doeskin gloves and redid the silver fastenings on his jerkin, which had come loose during the day’s ride. There was a fire roaring in the brazier but it seemed to have little effect on him as he crossed his legs, folded his hands, and hooded his eyes like one settling in for a long wait.

Celegorm watched this all in naked disgust. “How can you be so bloodless right now? We should be rallying the damn troops, not waiting a minute longer for the half-breed’s reply!”

Curufin examined the stars embroidered on the back of his gloves. “I assure you that I remain entirely full of blood. Maedhros has said – and I agree – that it is only reasonable to give Eluchil another day to respond.”

Celegorm spat. “You and Nelyo make me physically ill. As if Dior’s lack of answer isn’t response enough! If he has to consider our terms then he’s not considering them at all. We go in and we retrieve what is ours, or have you forgotten that that’s how it works?”

“If you’re going to be ill, kindly avoid doing it on the carpet,” said Curufin, scuffing his toe over the spittle Celegorm had deposited.

*rubs hands together* it’s my birthday filth, precious~

-From Deep Deep underground an unholy cry can be heard. In multiple voices it sings yes there is no song and nothing penetrates the silence. A wail eldrich and empty vibrates through the very soil, full of lamentations of a thing that was denied it’s meal.-

And STAY out, you greedy plutonian slattern! 

That’s it, I’m putting out the traps. …Have you lot been eating prisoners in the lower caverns? That’s how we get Void-born Abominations, I’ve told you a hundred times!

Do you know what happens if you step in one of those webs? I start having to recruit new Maiar, that’s what happens. I’m not going to say it again! 

If I see one more fractal mess luring my sweet smith into a long slide into the maw of darkness, there will be hell to pay. 

–YOU HEAR THAT, YOU STYGIAN NUISANCE? NOT ON MY WATCH! 

have you shape shifted into animals? if so are there any favorites of your? (im asking sauron or melkor or both)

Serpent. Dragon. Giant. A stag and rider. Scorpion. Chimera. A marten, a monkey, a little cat, a swarm of wasps, a liquid shadow with many teeth… I don’t know if you’d count that as an animal. My list goes on. I don’t have a favorite. 

__

Wolf, of course. A lion once, for show. Aurochs. Panther. Ogre. A black horse. A black fox.

I enjoyed being a wolf, when there were other wolves to keep me company. Otherwise, I’d say the panther. 

-Gives Sauron a tapestry woven from unlight. With fractal pattern. There is no end to it. It just goes on and on. Just so you can *Feel* the borderless Void(and how it sips away your power) while staring at infinity. –
