Character: Celegorm

- Have you noticed how this boy, Forlas, hates Beren?
- Nobody hates it more than me.
Wrong. You hate not so much his as the one who owns the heart of Luthien. You don't care, Beren it or not - like all of us, no matter who owns Silmarilli. But Forlas hates it. Just as he is. And you know what?
- Heed you, my wise brother, ' hissed Celegorm.
- Because he cheated. Poor boy loved their leader. About the same as residents of Nargothrond loved Finrod. But love does not forgive deception. Cost to fool them in their most intimate hopes and that's Finnode no one does not want to hear about Serene too. What torments, threats or promises ripped his betrayal - still... He lied to hope, which he himself had awakened, Woe unto him!

- You said that I have a lot of what you love about him. And what does he have that I don't have?
Lucien had some time to think over the answer.
- Denial, - she said finally.
