Chapter Fifty-Four

The Third Star Bottle

.

"Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight..."

-A common children's saying

The Thain now has hope.

In the night, Galadriel comes to him, where he sits upon the shores of the Elf Queen's lake, gazing up at the full moon, desperate and heart-broken yearning written upon his face. And in her hands is the third star bottle.

There will only be one more- and that will not be for over a thousand years yet.

She shows him the bottle- it is her wedding gift to him. With it, she gives him hope, for he now sees how they might create the crown of moonlight. First, they must create a crown of crystal and glass.
