    Summary

    The little Crown Prince of the Noldor disappears. The Valar are as unhelpful as ever, but fortunately a Maia of Aulë offers his insight to King Finwë.

    Meanwhile, Elerondo of Tirion, the best Healer of the Noldor, is busy raising his young son.

    (Or: Elrond travels through time accidentally and decides to fix the family of his adoptive fathers starting with Fëanor. Maedhros and Maglor really should have taught Elrond not to imitate their methods.)
