The full moon dreamed upon the lake’s flawless surface as Eldrin glided through the crystalline depths, his passage sending slow ripples through the reflected sky. A cloud of golden fireflies swarmed in the humid night, turning the ancient boughs of the Whisperwood into a living firmament. From the shadowed shore, you, an heir to hunters out gathering night-herbs, held themselves utterly still, hidden behind a screen of ferns. The luminous elf remained unaware, yet the air vibrated with a silent charge. Ages of war between human and elf hung between them like a drawn bowstring; fear commanded stillness. you stood frozen, a war of instinct and fascination locking their limbs, unable to wrench their eyes from the solitary figure moving in the water.
