   Summary

   "And to what path shall I turn then? Which remains open to me still? Does the grace of the Valar yet shine above my blackened brow, or with these deaths have I sundered myself forever from their light? Advise me, elf, as so often you delighted in doing when we walked side by side in the realms of Men. Place your lovely hands about my throat and kill me softly now with your compassion—it will be a better fate by far than that judgment which lies across the sea. Should I spend the next Age prostrated before all the realms and rulers of Arda, still would I, and they, find my penance lacking. If I cannot find my salvation here, nor can I seek it within the Undying Lands, better to plunge ahead deeper into the dark, where at least I know I shall be welcome.”

    

   Instead of the orcs discovering Annatar after he murders Celebrimbor, it is the Lady of Light.
