THE SLIGHT TO THE FATHER DOES NOT PASS BY UNFELT. Indeed. Perhaps felt more the keenly in this FORESAKEN, accursed place. For it cinders and BURNS neath fair skin and bone and sinew. As though such a statement were instead truly the s p i k e d prong of an iron brand that sought to SCORCH it's way, glowing and phosphoresced, forever embedding into flesh. Sought sear it's path to an already much burdened heart. Seizing tightly the ellon's lungs.
Such bold and U N F E E L I N G a declaration of his family's losses upon the DECEIVER’S tongue! It rises a millennia old anger. Vibrant h u r t inside the THRANDUILION’S veins in it's wake. One that rivalled aside the fear and exhaustion ever constricting in the dankness of the Princeling's dire circumstance.
' Yet what good is POWER if you do not have loved ones with which to protect? It is folly. MEANINGLESS. A mere distant, weak echoing of a shout long past. '
Legolas' astute cerulean eyes that so often more naturally contained a g h o s t i n g forbearance homed within their edges, shift to something sharper. A grandfather's lineage on display in an advancing step and the GRATING of great chains. A father's likeness caught in the elevation of a jaw. ' An echo that will fade as is every an echo's end...an echo that will fade into nothing and it will be forgotten. As all distant echoes are. '
