"Tis a thing of beauty, is it not?" Galadriel ran her finger over the clear gem.
"It is," I said slowly. "But I have seen other things that appeared beautiful -- at first."
She saw the Two Trees in all their glory. The light her kinsman captured in his jewels. The jewels that drove my kinsmen to death.
