[Meditation is essential to communing with the Force, no matter how chaotic and crippled it feels in the cave. He is sitting in a ruin of a building, perched on what used to be a wall, legs crossed.]

We are all protected here. More than you think. [Against futures they do not want to face.] My visions haven't changed. It might be impossible to rectify anything.

[How cruel to stand on the precipice, see the monsters within and have no weapon; no defense.

"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you."]

I think it's time I bite the bullet and accept -

[Oh boy. He chuckles shakily.]

It was a nice dream.

Give a list of them to Maglor and Curufin and see for yourself. I imagine they can come up with six or seven words for each without much thought. [And probably twice that number if you count ones it would be rude to say in public.]

[Fingon thinks for a moment. He loves his brother, but sometimes Turgon's hard for him to explain.] My brother Turgon is a fierce warrior when called upon, but he has little love for the battlefield; and he had a young daughter he wished to protect. When one of the Valar showed him a hidden valley where his followers could be safe, he chose to retreat there with all his people.

[...Anakin, your life is a dozen different types of crazy, do you know that?] How old were you when you were told this? And did anyone ever tell you what "bringing balance might mean?"

That will just end up confusing me! [Verbal language isn't really his forte. He speaks much more fluently with his powers and his lightsaber.]

So he found a good place to hide. He didn't take care of the enemy or really bring peace to your world. [It's a half-assed job to him, but he's crazy and reckless, so.] I might put my family there, but I'd still hunt my enemies down.

[Yes, he does know that and it's shattering his sanity into itty bitty pieces.] Nine? No. I think they all assumed it meant I would be a Jedi and defeat some great evil.

I never said you needed to use them if you didn't wish to. But we are the Noldor; we enjoy words, and the more of them the better.

I assume his logic was that as we were already Doomed, it was best to trust in the Valar and to save what he could. [Fingon's feelings about the subject are complicated, but he's going to try to understand where Turgon's coming from. Especially in front of non-relatives. Maybe in front of everyone.]

They didn't think that kind of burden too much to put on a child's shoulders? [Blinking, trying to process that.]

It seems to me that such knowledge would be more likely to break a child than make him stronger.
