Above Angband, Thorondor wheeled high in the air. Clouds drifted under him, blotting out the sight of the land. Manwȅ had tasked the eagles with keeping an eye on Morgoth. Often Thorondor wished, as a king, he could forgo his duties for what happened down there made him weep.

Thorondor angled his head in puzzlement – he heard beautiful singing and a plucked harp. This was not something foul created by Morgoth. Curious, he dropped down to where a weeping elf pointed his bow at another. Thorondor knocked the bow out of the elf's hands. He would have no more tears today.

Thank you! Not having to hang off a rock anymore has to be a slightly less bad day!

"He would have no more tears today."
I really like that conclusion.

Thanks! It can be hard to write endings when trying to stick to 100 words.
