Akallabeth in August: Day Thirty-Four

[dawn_felagund]

"Thus it was that great mariners among them would still search the empty seas, hoping to come upon the Isle of Meneltarma, and there to see a vision of things that were. But they found it not."

Akallabeth in August: Day Thirty-Five

[dawn_felagund]

"But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which he had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home."

Into This Wild Abyss: On the Perilous Edge by pandemonium_213

Pandemonium's story was actually supposed to be posted yesterday and Fireworks' story today, but I got the dates mixed up when putting posts together yesterday. The order of the stories has been fixed on the main site and on the index. My apologies for the mix-up! :)
