Grief like knives

[bythewaves]

Who: Maglor
Broadcast: yes
Action: Huntress
When: Now

One moment, Maglor was kneeling by his brother's side, treating a head injury with his cousin's help. The next moment, there is a hole in the part of his heart that once held his kinsfolk's touch, and Maglor's voice keens, a terrible, inhuman sound, like shards of ice that tear through a soul, grief too deep for words. It echoes through the ship, shaking the walls with his pain before he falls silent.

It is the worst time for it to happen, ships in crisis, folk in disarray. But if anyone finds him, he is unconscious in the corridor with tears on his cheeks. He's also started to look slightly translucent, in the right light.

[It's the wordless keening ringing through the air which brings Dearon running. He hadn't been far away before but....now...he doesn't ask what happened when he finds Maglor, only picks him up to move him back into his room.

He curls around him then and starts to sing, doing his best to help, even as a sense of loss crowds his senses.]

[Nearly drops the tools he was working with when he hears that sound through his communicator, scrambling for the device.]

Maglor!
