B2MeM 2021: Daily prompt set for 25 March

March 25th, 2021: Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin​

Quote Prompt

“Then Thorondor bore up Glorfindel's body out of the abyss, and they buried him in a mound of stones beside the pass; and a green turf came there, and yellow flowers bloomed upon it amid the barrenness of stone, until the world was changed.”

Summary Prompt

The Fall of Gondolin covers a lot of ground. We have the betrayal, the battle, and just after what seems to be an escape, one last tragedy to close out the chapter. (But don’t worry - just like a Marvel movie sign-off, Glorfindel will return in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’.)
​​​​
Thematic Prompt

The greatest tragedy of war is the loss of a life loved by others. Many songs were sung and tales were told of the battle of Glorfindel and the balrog, and their fall. Consider the topic of grief, and how another person copes with this grief after the loss of someone dear for your prompt today.
