Third Dark Lord, or Melkor's Return?
I've heard it said that, according to prophecy, before the Battle of Battles, Melkor was to return.
I've wondered myself if this was meant to be taken literally, or metaphorically. In other words, whether or not Melkor would return as the Melkor we all know and despise, or in a new body, as a third and final Dark Lord. But when I think about it, Melkor never really left, as in his influence was present all throughout Middle Earth history. So, what do you guys think? Metaphor, or literal?
