Private Video I am so sorry

[bythewaves]

[ The answer is slow and curiously blank - Maglor's eyes are empty, and the music gone from his voice ]

Celegorm? Ah... I dream again it seems. Hush, little brother.


[ Next to Celegorm, the little ainsel presses close against him and chimes worriedly at him Told you. Something's wrong ]

I AM NO DREAM!

[ The shriek, thick with terror, becomes a sob. ]

Help me! Help me, I'm trapped in the stone!

You always say that. [ But not the tearing grief it should be but quiet and empty resignation ] Every time. But you have to be, you know - twice now, I have had to watch you die. And every night you call to me, because I could not save you. And every morning you are still not here... there are only ashes.

[ But, despite the lack of heart, there is something in him that still cannot bear to watch his brother suffer - quiet and pale, a hand reaches to brush the surface of the locket ]

Does it move, little brother? Cold stone does not suit you. Tis always fire for us - push it away. Little one, are you there? Help him.

[ The little ainsel huffs indignantly, what is she supposed to do then? But obediently she brightens her glow, flying up as guide ]

[ Celegorm is laying down, it seems-- entombed in a stone crypt. But the light of the little fairy reveals that the heavy stone he had felt above him is a little ajar. Just enough of a crack for him to wrpggle a few fingers, and then, a hand, through. Towards the light.

Panting, locket still clutched in one hand, he shoves at the stone. It grates a little, but will not be moved. Even bracing his feet together against the bottom of the lid and shoving with all fours only slides it a very little. ]

I'm trapped.

I'm still trapped.

[ A small flicker of concern, at that ]

Hush hush. Don't panic. You know that only makes things worse. Little One, where is he?

[ a cross little chime, good grief but where would the two of you be without me! The castle, of course! It's so creepy here! ]

Too far for me, even in a dream... if I told her to find help, little brother, would you be well?

[ Celegorm bared his teeth like a wild thing, as if he might snap-- ... and paused, seeing the hollow-eyed familiar face, blinking back more tears. ]

N-no. I shall call for those I trust. And your fairy, your fairy may be the light for us. The light in the dark.

I'm still bloodied, where I felt the blade struck, brother. I... I cannot move it alone. I must find my own help.

[ A flicker of recognition ]

A blade... yes. You were... I remember. Dior's spear. And that girl. Are you still hurt, then? Call for aid, for I can not reach you, and she and I, we will stay here until the morning wakes me.
