(His gaze is hard, unyielding; his are the eyes of someone who has seen their end and been haunted by its repercussions. There are scars on his face - he has no way of hiding them - and the tip of one of his pointed ears is missing entirely. But his voice is deep and strong; it resonates in the manner of a King.)

I do not know what good I can offer or why so much power was expended to bring me to this place...

(He takes a breath, pausing for a beat, his stern features relaxing minutely.)

But I thank you. I would not have seen my family otherwise.

(Maedhros is clearly not comfortable being overly demonstrative, so he moves on swiftly, looking thoughtful.)

I have loved books since I was an Elfling; I did not realize they had such power to pull us into their tales. We have been given a curious flock.

I know how my story goes and it has ended. I would be more interested in how my brother fares. (How the twins fare and if the Enemies are defeated for good.)

... You might find those stories in the same place.

[Though Nita's memories of which stories were in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion were somewhat mixed.]

Do you recall the titles of the tomes? (Surely there is more than one. Their lives are long.)

[Nita really is hesitant about this, but he is asking, so... she nods.]

Lord of the Rings. There's three books in that series.

And there's a prequel, as well: The Silmarillion.

I...do not understand the first title. (Rings?) The Silmarillion...ah. That makes sense.

It wasn't really named after any of the people it's about.

[Except maybe Sauron... or Frodo; she's not quite sure who the real master of the One Ring was in the end.]

There was a cursed ring, though.

I thought as much. I just do not know of any rings. I assume they are not normal creations.

(They sound troublesome.)

Only one?

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

It was a cursed ring. I think there were- what, nine others?

[That number might ring a bell for some people, so to speak. Still, Nita wishes she actually had those books, if only so she'd know for sure.]

It had some sort of "desire me" charm on it - made people fight over it. And that's one of it's lighter consequences.

[She's still hesitant to mention Sauron, for obvious reasons.]
