Maedhros shook his head, struggling against the Maia.

"Oh so you're going to be like that, are you???" He stood up quickly, causing Maedhros to hit his head on the cold stone floor of the forge. "See how you like it then! Stubborn little dog."

Seeing how his plan had failed he turned to his other options. He had to catch a Feanorian, but who? Maglor was the obvious next target as the ruler in Maedhros' stead, but he must be well guarded. Then Celegorm, one who often left on his own but was well armed for hunting. Caranthir kept to himself and probably wouldn't put up a fight, as a middle child he might not even be noticed for a good while. Curufin was the favourite child and spitting image of Feanor, thus making him a fine prize indeed! But who knows how much fire he really had. The twins were about the same as Celegorm but in a pair and less valuable, so he ruled them out. The the last option, the child, Celebrimbor. He was still an elfling but in his later years now, with slightly floppy ears and a lanky build. He was still pretty but as a child he was vulnerable. He had to pick one.
