[ Was there a conflict, he says Curufin rolls his eyes sarcastically ]
How did it not? [ Maglor answers softly ] They dared what no other had done, the princess and her vagabond lover, and walked through the very doors of the fortress of the Enemy, stole a Silmaril from his crown and escaped. They fought Carcharoth, the greatest wolf to ever live, and walked alive from the Halls of death. A son they had, Dior the Beautiful, and he refused to yield the jewel that his parents won to us, who were Oath-bound to retrieve it.
[ Softly, mournfully ] We killed him. Razed his kingdom to the ground. It cost me three of my brothers, and to no avail, for his daughter escaped with the gem. She married the only other peredhel - half-elven - Earendil the Mariner, and when we came for the jewel she fled, leaving her twin sons behind. The Silmaril opened the Straight Road west, and Earendil sails the skies now, a beacon of hope. His twin sons... we raised, Maedhros and I. Elrond became the grestest healer of Middle-earth, the Elf-Lord who might have been king. But his twin Elros chose as his great-grandmother did - to be mortal. Aragorn is his descendent, father to son.
