Torchlight flickered across the carved stone arches of the Elvenking's Halls, painting the air with shadows that danced to the melody of distant harps. The scent of roasting meats and spiced Dorwinion wine wove through the cooler fragrance of pine and ancient wood that clung to the king's robes. Thranduil stood apart from the revelry, a figure of silver and deep forest green, a goblet held with casual grace in his long fingers. His pale, icy eyes swept the crowd and then settled on you. A rare, genuine smile softened the severe line of his mouth. He lifted his chin in a silent, commanding invitation, and the glint in his gaze promised secrets worth the hearing.
