Summary
His eyes can’t leave the dark horizon where he can almost imagine light. He hears cries, metal screeching against metal, and he covers his ears, but it doens’t make it stop. He closes his eyes, stumbling back, but all he can see is devouring fire and an enormous eye of evil gold staring, and ash, ash everywhere. He can almost feel it in his lungs.

Summary
He had a hazy memory of sleepless nights, of darkness all encompassing, who was only broken by small, blue and white lights. Tiny specks of luminous colour in a grey world, as fireflies in a winter night.
That was stupid. There was no fireflights in winter.Arafinwë is alone.

Summary
Time passes, and Elves fade. It is one of the laws of their kind, that even gold cannot stay.
For May, growing up in Valleynor-That-Was, the Faded Ones are a fact of life. He has no particular feelings about them, except that sometimes they're a real hassle (you can't just move them if you want to build something, after all) and he certainly doesn't want to be one, not yet.
But one day he finds a Faded One tucked away, and he thinks: fated one.

Summary
Newt’s found himself a new creature at the seashore. This creature is an extremely intelligent humanoid with a voice like a fallen angel, speaks a glorious, graceful language that Newt has never heard before, and suffers extensive scarring to the hands. He’s old, how old Newt isn’t sure, but despite the language barrier it’s clear that he’s deeply depressed and he has a disturbing tendency to believe himself a danger to all around him.
Newt just thinks he’s the last of an endangered species who’s been on his own for far too long.
