Summary
Maedhros throws himself to his death, accepting that this will be his last action until the remaking of the world. Maedhros wakes up. The world is not remade, but it is far changed from the one he remembered. The Valar work in mysterious ways, but they are not so inattentive as to ignore the rising threat of Sauron.

Maedhros, who had the oars, steered them a little to the left and then said, “I do not believe I could explain why I fought Morgoth. I hated him. He killed my grandfather and my father, and he tortured me for thirty years. But that was not why I fought him. If it was, I would have challenged him with way Fingolfin did. He was a danger to those I loved, true, but I could have protected them better by hiding like Turgon did than by making a stand. I chose Himring because I wanted Morgoth to see me. I wanted to be able to get up every morning and have him know that I was not his creature. It was not only hate because it was not about him. It was about me. My survival. My defiance. I never wanted him to break me. And yet, I think I would have fought him even if there had been no danger of that.”
“It seems to me,” Haldir said, “that you may have fought him because he was evil.”
Maedhros laughed. Not a real laugh, more like the sarcastic laughs that had become a trademark of some of his brothers. “If I fought things that were evil, I would have been better positioned to fight myself.”
“Did you not fight yourself?” Haldir asked. Maedhros had nothing to say to that.
