Summary: Surely nobody would dare an attempt to defeat the greatest and most powerful of the Powers with tricks? Melkor thought so, at least. He certainly did not think so of Melian’s sheltered, spoiled brat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, finally, she came within his range…

Melkor laughed gleefully. Melian’s unnatural get would be his soon, and through her he would take revenge upon her mother. – Both had dared to disturb his peace!

The little brat, insolently clothing herself in the raiment of a vampire, looked frail and afraid for once. (As well it should be!)

Posing most forbiddingly, he bade her come down from the ceiling. – And she obeyed, and actually bargained to him her service in exchange for her life.

He just did not expect her to then sneakily weave a spell of slumber all over Utumno.
