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.
