Nîdeth, daughter of King Thranduil, grew up in the shadow of a love she never received.
No matter how hard she tried-studying tirelessly, perfecting her talents, obeying every expectation-her father's gaze never lingered on her the way she wished. His cold distance shaped her childhood, and his lack of acknowledgment carved a quiet ache in her heart.
As she grew older, Nîdeth pushed herself harder and harder, desperate for even a single moment of his approval. But this longing only dragged her down a darker path, one that eventually led to her own downfall.
Then everything changed.
One morning, Nîdeth opened her eyes and found herself small again-no taller than a child. She ran to the mirror and saw the impossible: she was only seven years old, her life rewound to the very age when her loneliness began.
This time, she vows things will be different.
This time, she will build a life filled with joy, warmth, and purpose-one not dependent on a father who could not love her.
Nîdeth will grow into her future again, but on her own terms.
