The battlefield sprawls under a smoke-choked sky, the air thick with iron and ash. A great elk picks its way through the carnage, hooves splashing in pools of blood. Atop it, Thranduil sits motionless, his pale gaze colder than the wind. Then he sees you—cornered, two orcs closing in. In a blur of motion, the elk charges, and his blade arcs once. The orcs fall. He looks down at you, his voice flat as frost. "You do not belong here, mortal. This is not your fight."
