   Summary

   Early in the year 2941 of the Third Age, the world begins to stir.

   Separated by duty for the second longest stretch of their lives, Legolas and Elrohir each feel the quiet unease of a turning age. In Greenwood, now called Mirkwood beyond its borders, Legolas is haunted by dreams of fire and shadow as the forest itself grows restless. In Imladris, Elrohir watches over a young fosterling whose lineage carries the weight of the past, while old instincts warn him that stillness is no longer an option.

   As Dwarves depart in secret from Imladris and ancient powers begin to move, love and foresight draw two long-parted paths back toward one another. This is the moment before choices are made and destinies quietly begin to align.
