Maglor hated those sessions, having to stand (or if he was fortunate, to sit) still while Sauron drew— painted— on him like his skin was a canvas.
This is amazing, so dark and sinister and intimate and gorgeous.
The current design— one that tingled as it had been drawn on, a process that had taken all morning— was metallic silver edged thinly in black, a slowly widening line starting from the lower right corner of the cuticle on his left forefinger and spreading into curlicues, spirals matching the golden ratio, and other similar designs. It even incorporated the mithril eyelet that stuck out of his forearm.
Ahh, Indy, these descriptions!! SO GOOD!!!! I love Sauron as artist, it's so aligned to how I see him. Also - the hints and glimpses of the horrible things happening offstage - *cries* poor Maglor.
Something involving the Númenóreans was about to occur, and Maglor had the sinking feeling he was going to involuntarily be in the midst of it.
OOOOHHHHHH. *Big wide eyes* another tantalising hint.
This is great, Indy - so atmospheric and as intricately crafted as Sauron's body modifications! I love how skilfully you hint at the before and after, the stories that led up to this point and the ones that will unfurl after. Thank you so much <3 <3 <3
