Can I ask for silvergifting + 23?
Yes :) Silvergifting and Unconventional âI love yousâ from this prompt list.
When the last spell was cast and the metal had fully cooled, Annatar and Celebrimbor stared at the ring for a long while.
Celebrimbor searched Annatarâs face. âAre you sure?â
âYes, you should try it first.â
Celebrimbor picked up the ring, weighing it in his hand for a time. The gold band had three clusters of blue stones and seemed heavier than it should be for its size. This ring was just a first test, but Celebrimbor had still wanted to make it a thing of beauty, even if it ended up just being a simple piece of jewelry.
He glanced up. Annatar met his gaze, staring so intently Celebrimbor thought he should feel self-conscious. He didnât. He slipped the ring on his finger.Â
The difference was slight, but there was no doubt that the ring worked as intended. He ran his fingers over a piece of paper on the table. It was more than paper: it was a tree, it was a plan, it was a collection of pieces not unlike himself, and it was Song. He had known all that before, but now he knew the pine tree it had been, the structure of its parts, and the notes of its Song.Â
âItâs as you said.â Celebrimbor stared at the ring on his finger, using its own power to see the perfect structure of the materials it was made of, and the perfect structure of the spells they had woven amid its parts.
âItâs as you designed,â Annatar replied.Â
Celebrimbor opened his mind so that Annatar could understand what he now understood. As his thoughts rushed towards what it all meant, Annatar laughed.
âA moment!â He grabbed a writing utensil and pulled the piece of paper towards him. Show me.
Celebrimbor began to unspool his thoughts, the subtle insights the ring gave him traveling through him, to Annatar, to spin into a plan for something even greater.
