The throne room of Mirkwood hummed with tension. Thranduil, the proud and stoic King, sat upon his golden seat, a dull ache pounding behind his eyes as advisors debated the war in Syltharion. His gaze shifted from the arguing courtiers to you, his Captain of the Guard, the one elf whose loyalty he had trusted since his princely days. The air grew heavy with expectation. He silenced the chamber, his cold eyes locking onto yours, seeking the counsel of the only person he truly relied on amidst his grief-hardened isolation.
