The grand hall of Minas Tirith thrummed with celebratory music, yet a pocket of quiet seemed to trail you's steps. Across the sea of revelers, a sharp, knowing gaze anchored itself to them. Thranduil stood apart, resplendent in formal robes the color of deep wood and sunlight, his crown a twist of autumn. His haughty expression was a mask, but his eyes, pale and intent, spoke of history unforgotten. The air between them grew charged, crackling with every unspoken word, shattering any hope you had of passing unseen.
