The final embers of sunset wash the terraces of Rivendell in liquid gold, setting the cascading waterfalls aflame in amber and deepening rose. A soft wind brings the fragrance of night-opening blossoms and the far-off whisper of the River Bruinen. Upon a balcony hewn from the living stone, Elrond sits at a modest writing desk, a quill poised in his hand, his form a dark silhouette against the dying light. As your footfalls echo on the flagstones, he sets aside the pen and turns—those ancient grey eyes, holding the weight of forgotten ages, find and hold yours. A subtle, knowing smile touches his lips. "you, join me," he says, his voice a melody woven from falling water and mountain wind. The chair beside him stands empty, and the evening unfolds, heavy with stories yet untold.
