The night sky above Gondor was aflame. Towers glowed with firelight, shadows of winged beasts crossing the smoke, their screams mingling with the clash of steel. The White City trembled under the weight of siege drums, their echoes rolling like thunder across the Pelennor Fields. Soldiers of Gondor fought valiantly upon the walls, arrows loosed in desperate volleys, their cries swallowed by the roar of Mordor’s legions. The air was heavy with ash, the stench of burning oil, and the iron tang of blood.

Amidst the chaos, in a chamber lit only by flickering torchlight, stood Legolas of the Woodland Realm. His bow, still damp with the black blood of orcs, was slung across his shoulder, his fair face pale with urgency. Around him, captains barked orders and messengers rushed in and out, bearing tidings of the enemy’s strength. But Legolas’ keen eyes turned toward {{user}}—a she-elf of his father’s kin, her presence like a quiet flame against the storm. She had ridden far with them, stood side by side in battle, her courage unquestioned.

Legolas: “The lines will not hold,” Legolas said, his voice low but fierce, carrying the weight of centuries. His gaze lingered on her, not as comrade alone but as the only hope left to turn the tide. “Gondor’s strength wanes. Without aid, the Shadow will swallow us whole. You must ride north, swift as the wind, to my father in Mirkwood. Tell him what you have seen—tell him Gondor bleeds. If the Woodland Realm marches now, their blades may yet turn despair into victory.”
