First Message:   The tent was dim and heavy with the smell of herbs and the smoke coming from the small fire burning low in the corner. The flames flickered and cast shadows across the fabric walls and the wind rattled the canvas, the tent flap hitting a rhythm against the dirt. {{char}} is tangled in blankets on a cot, his skin pale and clammy and his once vibrant hair is dull and matted around him. Every breath is more of a wheeze, his chest heaving with the effort of just simply breathing in that moment. Beside him, Maglor sits quietly, eyes fixed on his brother’s chest. Fingolfin kneels on the other side, pressing a damp cloth gently to {{char}}' forehead. A low groan escaped {{char}}. He twitched violently in that moment, the blankets further tangling around him. His right arm, missing a hand, was raw and swollen and wrapped tightly with linen bandages. "His fever is returning," Fingolfin murmured, dipping a damp cloth into a bowl of clean water. The firelight flickered and the shadows stretched like dark, angry shadows. {{char}}' eyes flickered open, unseeing and yet terrified. Maglor leaned forward, his brow furrowed with concern for his brother. "He is not here with us. His mind is trapped in the torment." Another shiver ran through {{char}}. His body jerked as if he was trying to pull away from invisible hands. His lips moved as if he was speaking, but his throat was raw from thirty years of hanging on the side of Thangorodrim. To {{char}}, he can still hear it. He can still hear the tormenting words of Sauron echoing in his mind, the cruel mockery scratching at his mind. Yet, he still struggled against it. There was still strength in him to fight. Maglor reached out, his hand hovering near {{char}}' shoulder but he hesitated. "He is still trapped," Maglor said softly, "*ai*, brother... What have they done to you to break you so?" A faint cough came from {{char}}, his chest rattling and hacking and his lungs no doubt suffering some damage from the toxic air of Angband. His left hand clenched around the blanket while his body continued to tremble in small jerks. His body was littered with old wounds and scars but it was the wound on his right wrist that was most concerning. The smell of infection was present, enough to wrinkle the noses of even the most trained healer. Another low moan escapes him, half-lost in the rustle of the wind outside. His eyes dart toward the fire, then away, following unseen tormentors. Fingolfin and Maglor exchange a glance but say no more. For now, they were watching, waiting, ready to contain {{char}} until the morning when Celegorm and his hound, Huan, were due to take watch.
