[ ‘We don’t have many of those either’, Iorveth wants to tell her, gets as far as speaking it in his mind, but it doesn’t make it past his lips. Their history, now, is mostly misery on top of misery.
That, however, is dashed from his mind the moment she weaves an illusion into the world around them, both beautiful and somewhat terrifying, all of it grand and magnificent. The calamity of fear and awe, the people approaching a brave new world, with all the mixture and chaos it should entail. Much like the rising hum of an orchestra practicing keys and tuning up before the start of a symphony. A surging of something incredible.
It’s gone so fast, and Iorveth feels like it’d been both so long in that world, and all to quick, all at once. So many people, and so much hope still there for the world. He misses it immediately, and turns back to Galadriel with a sad smile on his lips. ]
I couldn’t have possibly imagined something so incredible. Thank you, for sharing it. I only wish I’d been able to live it as well.
