Summary: Maglor in Avebury, at the turning of the year.

The morning gloom thinned. The revellers waited, wreathed in their own frozen breath - then the sun leapt over the stones and shone through the trees like blood.

A small girl gasped. "Fire!"

Maglor smiled. The deep winter dawn pressed into his bones. He turned to the west, and walked on.

Lovely. I wonder where he's going (if he knows...)

[narya_flame]

I'm not sure he does know, this time. If he does, he's not telling me! Thank you, bunn :)

What a wonderful description!
And it is so good to see your Maglor.

[lferion]

Such an excellent use of the prompts! I wondered if anyone would go for winter instead of summer.

[narya_flame]

My contrary brain did xD thank you, Lferion!

It's intriguing to glimpse Maglor in unexpected places. :)

[narya_flame]

It is, isn't it? :D thank you, Shirebound.
