Flight
“A bird that renews itself through conflagration?” said Erestor. “It’s an interesting thought. But I don’t know where the story came from. I think someone once claimed to have seen one flying over Dorthonion before the first dawn...”
... fleeing the frost-crisped ruins of Angband and midnight Udûn, a slew of teeth and poison claws snatching at their cloaks. Behind them ominous Valacirca and Ard-galen endless before them, sea-shadowy with the wind rippling waves through long grass. Far ahead loomed the mountains, jagged beneath the stars.
A comet blazed white across twilit heavens, trailing a tail like a bird on fire.
