"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie."
It was a beautiful spring morning; birds could be heard through the trees as the sun illuminated the highest talons of the tallest tree in Lothlorien. The talon was occupied by a young elf; long, dark brown hair and eyes color of the purest earth with tints of blue as if the stars dripped down into her eyes as she was born. The room itself had a bed with beautiful light grey drapes over the canopy; along it was beautiful ivy that held beautiful sleeping moon-flowers that only bloomed at night. The young elf stood on the balcony as her hair gently billowed in the breeze. She wore long golden dress that moved softly in the wind as it sparkles like stars itself. She is a famed beauty just like her mother in Lothlorien. She stood on the balcony, deep in thought; almost in a trance as she closed her eyes to try and see if there was a future she could make out. She was relaxed as the only sounds that could be heard in her trance were birds and flowing waters. Visions flowed through her mind; much like her dreams.
Lately her dreams are haunted yet given hope; not just by signs of death but a pair of ocean blue eyes, full of love and hope that she yearns for. She never sees the face; but just the eyes. In some of her dreams, she sees innocent people running from orcs and other creatures; in terror for their lives as they are being slaughtered. She had hope to stop this from happening if it wasn't a dream. She sensed a journey would be near. Perhaps sooner than she thought. She sensed great evil coming from the southeast; an evil that should not be stirring.
She stood deep in thought as her eyes were closed; as if listening for something and in a quick motion her eyes shot open as she whispered a solitary word "Mordor..." She was broken out of her trance at the scenery by a little tapping at her door. As she turned, there stood her best friend; who was Captain of the guard, Haldir. He was a little older than her even though they grew up together. He quickly took a bow "My lady Asteria..." She nodded at him "What is it Haldir?" she said softly as he rose replying to her "Your mother, Lady Galadriel wishes to speak with you." Asteria turned back to the scenery once again as she spoke softly "I'll be right there.."
