    Summary

    She must appear as some drowned specter, climbing up from the riverbank with the hem of her white gown dragging behind her, dripping hair hanging heavy around her shoulders. She smolders with a dark inner heat, as though her blood has turned to molten metal in her veins.

    The ring — his ring — burns in the palm of her hand, alive with wordless whisperings that claw and pry at the tender edges of her mind. She does not need to hear words to know what it whispers.

    Galadriel. Galadriel. Galadriel.
    . . .

    Or: It’s Galadriel who finds the One Ring at the bottom of the river.
