Lord of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.

I have a question Gwaihir. Assuming Sauron did find Melkor, they would be in the Void together, until, as you said, Melkor
Quote:
gathers strength, rebuilding his power for his last strike on the world.
If the Void is as far as the fear of Sauron and Melkor can go, then why is Melkor's death in the Last Battle considered to be his final and ultimate death? Would it not be merely sending Melkor out to the Void again, in which case he could just get in again at some later time? In other words, if Melkor's death means he is confined to the Void, then he can never truly be slain, even though his death is what was prophecied for the Last Battle.
