30-Day Character Study: Mairon | Day 8
Jan. 15th, 2025 07:01 pmDay 8 of SWG 30-Day Character Study. My character is Mairon | Sauron | Annatar.
Today's prompt: The Mirror Cliche. Authors are often discouraged from describing their characters by having them look at their reflection in a mirror (or a pool, or a puddle, or whatever). For this one exercise, we want you to embrace the mirror cliche! Write a scene where your character sees their reflection. What do they see? What do they feel as they see it?
I didn't expect myself to focus on Angbang when I took this character study challenge, but today's drabble is again about Mairon's time in Angband and his complex relationship with Melkor. Here's my 100 word drabble: Obsidian Mirror.
