Today, I decided to purchase a baby dragon from Melkor's black market. I think I'll call him Bragollach, as "Sudden Flame" is a very appropriate name for this little creature.
A parcel arrives from the Greenwood via Middle Earth Eagle Couriers containing a hithlain lead, animal biscuits, and a small pamphlet on feeding Bragollach a natural raw diet of Dwarves, Orcs, and, if he's being a good little fellow, the occasional Noldo. Enclosed is a note:
Excuse me. I take exception to that Noldo comment.
I think I have enough to contend with with all the Balrogs around here. I've already been pounded into the ground by a minion of Morgoth once, I'd prefer that it doesn't happen again, if it's all the same to you, young fella. There's plenty of dwarves to go round for everyone, and let's face it, there's more meat on them than on your average elf.
Look, I'm sorry your pretty banner got stomped into the mire formed of your blood, innards, and the earth -- I'm sure it had nice embroidery and all -- but those three Kinslayings just aren't sitting too well with some people. A simple "we're sorry for attacking in the dead of winter while you were still mourning your king, and about the infanticide, and we won't do it again" would be nice.
Oh look, you people need to get over that, OK? Murderer, blah blah blah, kinslayer, blah blah blah heard-it-all-before-cakes. I know that you're jealous about never having seen the light of the Two Trees and all, but don't take it out on us! We are just simple pawns in the chess game of life, ruled by the One. Innocents, I tell you! Innocents!
And my banner was very pretty, I'll have you know, and I did not appreciate my non-existent wife's (who magically bore me my son, the Famous Erenion Gil-Galad!) work being smeared with my blood like that! NOT a nice memory to take to the Halls of Boring with me!

Perhaps it shall take away some of this boredom.
