Quote Prompt
“Then Fingolfin said: ‘I will release my brother.’ But Feanor spoke no word in answer, standing silent before the Valar.”
Summary Prompt
We encounter a great deal of movement in the story at this point in The Silmarillion. There is unrest between members of the House of Finwe, Melkor is being his usual mischievous (yes, that’s sarcasm) self, and following a trial, both Feanor and Melkor end up in situations of displacement.
Thematic Prompt
The words ‘Get thee gone’ are used by Feanor not only when he speaks to his brother Fingolfin, but also when he tells Melkor to get off his lawn. Whether a permanent banishment or a heated moment, channel the ‘get thee gone’ expression into your creation.

Each day, three prompts will be offered. These are influenced by the story The Silmarillion. The first prompt will be a direct quote from the book, the second will be a micro tidbit from that particular section, and the third will be a more generalized prompt inspired by the happenings, but meant to allow for creations outside of the realm of The Silmarillion.
