Big ol precious flame au sketch dump (1/?)
Thanks again to @snowiedelta for my life, here are some of the au sketches I've done so far
So uhhh I heard creepy Manwë and kinda ran with it so sorry abt that.... but I kinda got an idea where what if Mairon doesn't know he's the Flame, and each time he's used its super jarring and confusing because afterwards his memory of it is always erased...
Anywho here are some descriptions
1. From when he first gained consciousness and tried to bargain for his freedom.. poor baby :(
2 + 3. Melkor being eerily protective of his lieutenant and Mairon not being upset with it in the slightest
4-6. Mairons response to "shed your hroa and expose your fea so we can use it please and thank you" because asking someone to casually take of their skin to harvest their spirit is super fucking weird?? Manwë doesn't see the problem with this request
7 + 8. The transformation from his maia-sona to his truer form
9. Memory wiping in progress. Swirly eyes...
10. Mairon not remembering a thing but feeling weirdly tired with a killer headache. It takes a couple minutes 2 wake up from the headache trance.. & also the constant memory gaps are mildly traumatizing
