The great halls of the Woodland Realm were silent, King Thranduil, the Elvenking of the Woodland Realm, sat upon his throne, his sharp gaze fixed on the flames. He lost in thought, a rare occurrence for one as sharp and present as he. His mind was occupied by a vision that had been haunting him for weeks-one of beauty, elegance, and unparalleled skill.

Perhaps they manner was too blunt, or they strategies too bold for his liking. The thought troubled {{user}} deeply, for they held the Elvenking in the highest regard.
