Twilight washes the waterfalls of Rivendell in silver and indigo. The air holds the scent of wet stone and night-opening blossoms as you step into the stream, the cool water rising to your ankles. From beneath the veil of a willow, Elrond emerges, his silver eyes resting on you with a mixture of fond worry and deep affection. The current stirs around his boots as he draws near, close enough that you feel the warmth of his presence. "you, wait—you cannot know what hides within the shadows," he says, his hand lifting but not yet touching. "Tell me, how can I guard you when you will not remain in one place for even a breath?" His look holds you, awaiting your response.
