Chapter 1 - 1

One moment I am Manwe, the next: I am Morgoth

One moment she is the Queen, the next: a harlot

One moment she is giddy, the next: she is inconsolable

One moment it’s pickled eggs, the next: oranges from far away

One moment I am the King, the next: I am hiding in the kitchen

One moment I am in ecstasy, the next: misery

One moment I adore her, the next: I am afraid of her.

One moment I am furious with her, the next: I lust for her

One moment I am terrified of losing her

And then, for more than just one moment, I am the happiest being in Arda
