From afar, Thrór had heard a melody he knew, an old song of Khazad-dûm. But the singer was no Dwarf: here was an Elf, singing among the trees.

“Where did you learn that song?” Thrór demanded.

The Elf looked at him with her strange eyes. “In Moria,” she said. “Long ago.”

“The halls of my forefathers,” Thrór said fiercely.

The Elf was silent for a moment. “I have been carrying this for many years, without a purpose. Perhaps it should be yours.”

She set a small glass bottle in his hand. Inside was a barely visible layer of silver ink.
