Elenna stood before Azruk, her head up. The fall had done something to her wrist - she no longer could fight. She looked him in the eye, but suddenly, she no longer saw him. Instead, she was in a dense wood.
The others saw her draw herself up, dropping her sword. A soft silvery light began around her, and her blue eyes seemed to be on fire, as did the stone in her circlet.
Softly, slowly, Elenna began to chant. It took a while to hear what she was saying, but soon they realized what it was - the lay of Beren and Tinuviel.
...Tinuviel was dancing there.
The light of stars was in her hair
And on her mantle glimmering.
Azruk blanched a little. His foe looked different, not small and battered, but queenly. In his heart, a small seed of fear began to take root.
Glorfindel stood to the right of the ring of soldiers that had been formed. He started to walk toward Elenna, and in that instant, Azruk saw him.
OOC: Cimm, you know what to do!
