The dark elf had stayed silent as the young elf maiden began to sing to the Lady of the Stars. As he listened, something deep within him moved him to join the song that he had never once sang before. But Rûdhchamion knew it for what it was, a song sung by the High Elven. And it seemed that he was no longer in Mirkwood, but another woodland. A place where the land was untouched by evil and the sky was bright under the light of the moon and stars. And as the song ended the fleeting vision faded from his mind’s eye, but stayed engraved in his memory like a wondrous dream that he had just awakened from.
He looked towards where the vile creature of darkness had come from. Not one creature was in sight, much to his relief.
“What was that song Anarya?” Taralphiel asked softly, her eyes shining in wonder. “It was very beautiful.”
“It is the song of the Lady of the Stars, the most beloved among the elvenkind,” Anarya answered, smiling slightly at the young girl.
Rûdhchamion crept warily out of their hiding place, looking around. Though there were no signs of any danger nearby, he could feel the eerie silence that surrounded the woods.
"We will have to be more alert in the future. I doubt that we have heard the last of those creatures," the dark elf said taking a deep breath.
