This place is strange. The people here are strange.

And aye, if you think I'm talking about you, I probably am.

Also, mortals whine a lot.

And they seem to die and get sick a lot, too.

	I suppose you're right. I just don't like the idea of being able to watch my baby brother grow old, get married, and dying. All without being able to let him know I'm there. I'm dead, I wouldn't say I'm grown. I'm only twenty-two. Which is slightly depressing now that I think of it. Eternally twenty-two. Why didn't you just tell him no? Rebel? Runaway?

You should speak to my cousin's daughter, Idril. She married a mortal man, and she must also lose him and her son to age. I think you may be able to comfort each other in that regard.

And now you have no choice but to grow, given your experiences. You must adapt, and with time comes wisdom.

A wisdom that we certainly lacked at the time. I swore an oath with my brothers and it is an oath that cannot be broken. And it will pursue oathtaker to world's end.

Yeah? He's the one that looks like Thor, isn't he? Not... that you know who Thor is.

Aye, I know. I've already learned more on my own, than I did with the ghost that I was introduced to right after I died. I mean I can walk through solid walls, and er... coffins. Not that I want to repeat the experience.

What sort of oath? Is it like ones doctors take when they become doctors?

	We swore to Eru to pursue any creature, great or small, living or dead that should exist now or ever, with vengeance and hatred to the world's end if they should keep from us from our birthright. Be it Elf, Vala, Man, or Demon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And what is your birthright? I have another question, why are you being so nice? ~~I mean I went in spoiling for a fi~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Freedom from the gilded cages of those who would keep us in thralldom. And recovering silmarils; the works of my father's hands and heart. They are three jewels with the light of the Two Trees inside them. The recovering of those jewels will see my grandfather's murder avenged, and my father's death given purpose.

I am not cruel in nature. You are being kind, and polite, and so you have earned my kindness in turn and we are having an interesting conversation as a result.

	A good man can have wrath. Perhaps a good man's wrath is even more feared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, your grandfather was murdered? By who? I actually started out being a bit of an arse. You made it a bit difficult to keep with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The Morgoth - he is called the Deceiver. He cut down my grandfather, Finwë the High King of the Noldor, like wheat before the scythe in our own home. And from our iron vaults he stole the jewels and bore them away to Middle-earth. The Valar would not see such injustice corrected, so we saw to it ourselves. As is the right of sons.

And aye, you did. But it reminded me too much of my brothers to take you seriously.

	Has anyone seen it... I mean, I know there are a few of you from different points in time. Did you win? My brother Ryan did say that I acted too much like a bloke with tits, for my own good. So they behave badly on purpose to then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have not asked. I am afraid of knowing, I think. We have a doom upon our heads that will see us fail, despite our hopes otherwise.

And aye. I have 6 brothers, and we all burn with my father's spirit. Strong willed, stubborn and determined as ever to see things done our way. To varying degrees, of course.

You may have met my brother Curufin while he lived here on the island. He is my 5th brother, the youngest of us save the twins who follow after him.

I suppose I can understand that. I can't say I want to know much about the future myself.

Not just for the giggles then?

Oh, no. I don't think I did. I don't often... There are still things I'm getting used to? Me and electronics don't always get on. Especially when I'm feeling a wee bit emotional. And for a while I was hearing voices in the static. So I missed out on a whole lot of people.
