Quote Prompt
“But Manwë from his high seat looked out, and his eyes alone pierced through the night, until they saw a Darkness beyond dark which they could not penetrate, huge but far away, moving now northward with great speed; and he knew that Melkor had come and gone.”
Summary Prompt
Melkor decides to take his revenge in the midst of a celebratory time, and does so with the aid of Ungoliant.
Thematic Prompt
Hindsight is 20/20. There are times when we can be made aware of circumstances which might be the cause of other events, but oftentimes, this foreshadowing is not available to us. Think about a situation where the audience or one character is aware of the foreshadowing, but the main complement of characters do not have this information and use this as inspiration for 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.
