#fallen warrior

Edit: HELLO?? THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE??

They say that in a nameless vale, hidden from time and sun, there lies a lake that does not reflect the stars— it remembers them. Once, an elven host fell there, not for power, but for a vow. And the first to sink beneath the depths was a fair-haired warrior, his name long forgotten, but in song he is called The Forest’s Dream— for since that day, the trees around the lake no longer whisper. They slumber. Others followed. And the water took not their flesh, nor touched their armor. It received them as a child receives sleep. They lie there still—not dead, not alive— with swords upon their chests and eyes gently closed, as if awaiting a call that shall never come. And only one still stands at the shore— Elendriel the Bright, daughter of the Silver House. Slender, like the morning shadow on silvered scale. In her helm—silence, not pride. In her hands—not a blade, but memory. Each dawn she returns to the place where the world ends and forgetting begins. She does not weep. Elven maidens do not weep. Yet the water at her feet is always warmer, as if it remembers the one she waits for. From the Scroll of the Mist-Shrouded Shores, Fragment IV: *”…and so she stood, in mail of morning frost, between stone and dream, where Tar’Eilin fell without a cry, and the waves closed without a splash. His blade lay on his chest. His face bore no fear. The water touched not his flesh. Neither rot nor time claimed him. As though a Vala himself held that moment still, lest her heart follow him into shadow. And now all who walk to the Lake shall hear not a voice, but silence, not a call, but remembrance. There the host lies beneath no mound, and She of the Light, whose sorrow bears no name, guards their rest— until the songs return.”*

I am so sorry this took so long! I intimidated myself out of it trying to figure out the fallen warrior particles and then forgot who I was making this for. Oof.
