Not the best of friends, then, those two...!

Melkor doesn't often play well with others, plus I don't envision Aulë as particularly sensitive to others, so, no indeed. =D

That's a lovely bit of bitter mockery to foreshadow the eventual future.

Thank you!

All things have both dark and light, maybe Aule needs to remember that? Nicely done.

Thanks, Erulisse. (I'm never overly generous to Aulë in my writing...not that that has anything to do with his being the original Vala of my two favorite Maiar, who don't seem to have benefited overmuch from his tutelage...)

You could envision them coming off the screen as I read.

Thanks for having a read =)

“What was conceived in spite, I have turned to utility.”

“Would it not be amusing, were ‘utility’ someday to force your hand instead to the ruin of lands?”

Oh Melkor, so very proleptic of you!

Ooh, I've obtained a new word today (that doesn't happen every day).
