Unbidden, a minstral wandered into the party. The music hushed as if by some unseen power. He quietly tuned his strings, as the crowd only slowly registered his existence. A wave of quiet preceeded him, though here and there drunken guests continued their revelry unaware of the mysterious visitor.

The world of men shall never know
the life of a prince of elves.
Ambition human princes show
Their battles lost, their victories won!
But the elven prince is little more
than just another father's son.

The world of men shall never see
the life of a prince of elves.
Yes, kings, our princes plan to be
Their fortunes great, their troubles small!
But immortal son, he never dreams
to rule his father's realm at all.

The world of men shall little heed
the death of a king of elves.
A price too high for noble seed
His immortal father, through chance is dead.
And in a cruel, double blow
unbidden kingship bows his head.

As the spell breaks, the guests who were near, and sober enough to hear, glance about -- and the Uruk-hai appeared to throw him out… but the minstrel was nowhere to be found.
