Notes: written for the 'spiralling' prompt.

The Ainur crowded around Melkor looking at him askance. He repeated his musical line. There was no melody, but it had rhythm, discordant and wild. One of the Ainur swayed in time and added some bass notes to the basic tune. Melkor smiled and interjected high notes that stabbed into the music. Their voices rose, sprialling up and out into the void. Shock was replaced by fascination with the cacophony. The novelty of thoughts that weren't Ilúvatar's drew some Ainur to the new music and they were caught in the rhythm. Those that didn't join in fell silent and trembled.

Brilliant! I love the way you've described this :) There's nothing wrong with a bit of individuality!

Thank you! Individuality certainly livens things up!

That reminds me of Elleth's old jokey icon "Disco rose about Melkor".

You do make one feel the power of it, how they could be swayed.

Thank you! Good music is irresistible.

Lol, Melkor is the first superstar DJ.
