Log;

The trees are dead.

Though she may have her likeness, she is no Lúthien to be singing sorrowless in the forest 'til the end of days. It brings her pride to be named so, for Tinuviel was called the Beloved for her beauty. Yet she has made it known to any who dare call her by that name that she is no songbird, loved only for twittering and frolicking. There is no sense in singing amidst trees so silent and cold. Their barks are colder than stones in a cave deep under mountains.

She shivers at the thought.

Still, the trees whisper though she knows the language not, and pressing an ear against the rough skin, she listens and tries to understand. They are her only companion, and perhaps they will mourn the passing of the Elves; of all that is good and fair in the world.

Her face, flawless and perfect against the skin of the tree, is devoid of emotions. There is an edge to her translucent eyes but it is wan and distant. Her beauty is great indeed, but the graveness of it is no less greater. How long has it been now since she laughed with mirth?

The years has not passed by her unnoticed, the weight of them are like stones upon her shoulders. Like a scream from a distance, Arwen lifts her clear voice against the low rumbling of the trees. Her soft voice rises into the tall branches, caressing the leaves, but there is a nameless sorrow dragging it always down. Undómiel, they call her, Evenstar, but she reflects only the cold light of the moon.

In the middle of a phrase, she stops. The song drifts away like a tendril of smoke.
