Chapter Text
I'm here to finally announce that the first chapter of the new version of this story is already available! It is a completely new chapter, contextualising a bit better Talion's time as a Nazgûl. This means this fic right here is over, though. No point in continuing both. If you decide to read the rewritten version, know that it will be very different from this one, but the premise is the same. I've organized the lore better and the plot structure, plus I changed some small things I have been wanting to change for a while. We will have more Celebrimbor, with full chapters, and more lore, I hope.
Luckily, I did a better job this time. Anyways, see you there! Thanks for reading.
New version! <---- Here and as the next part of the series.
Therein Lies Salvation
"Spite ate away all that was good, kind, and loving till nothing was left but the spite itself, coiled 'round my heart like a great worm.
And in my darkest hour, I turned from Her and vowed that I would destroy Her.
At the moment of Her death, I knew what I had done, and I wept.
I shall bring the lands of my fathers to Her Word. Therein lies their salvation and mine." — Canticle of Maferath
Talion and Celebrimbor had their second lives, but they never truly had a second chance. Now in a new world, they can finally let some things go. The skies are torn open and war floods the world, but there is still hope. And hope it is all they ever needed.
On which the Ninth Nazgûl and the Ringmaker find themselves at a new land, away from Rings of Power, but not from Dark Lords.
