Summary
“I could give you something that no other Vala cannot. The other Maiar envy you, and so does Aulë. That is why he controls you, smothers you like the wick of a candle. But I have seen the true fire that burns inside you, my little spark. A flame like yours cannot be controlled or tamed. It burns far too brightly for that.”

Summary
“I should punish you for your impudence. Flay your flesh one limb after another, break your bones and grind them to dust. I could simply take you, force you open and use you dry, until you are broken and begging to die. Yet… no. You would simply hate me more and refuse to talk. That would not do. But rest assured, Maitimo, you will hate after this. Just not me.”
Consists of two separate sections - thoughts on the captivity of Melkor after the siege of Utumno, the theft of the Silmarils, and his relationship with Mairon; and the captivity of Maedhros in the dungeons of Angband, from both Melkor's and Mairon's POV. Mairon has creative ways of making his prisoners talk. His dark desires lead to bad times for the elf.
