Novel & Cerita Thranduil's Crown

The panic in Lorenzo’s eyes lasted only a heartbeat before it was replaced by a flash of raw, wounded ego. He released his grip on Bella, his dark, brooding eyes locking onto mine with a predatory, suffocating intensity. "Joanna, who gave you permission to track me?" His voice thundered through the hall, carrying the unyielding authority of a Head of the Family used to being obeyed. I stared at the red smear on his collar—a fresh mark left by Bella’s lips—a crimson stain on seven years of lies.

His tone dripped with sarcasm, but Eryndor remained resilient, his expression unwavering. Eryndor was in bit trouble, his gaze swept all around the room, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mixture of curiosity and caution, searching for something that might reveal a clue or satisfy his growing unease. "Move!", Lord Arinthal's subtle gesture made his guards walk into prompt action. They grasped Eryndor's arms, their grip firm, and led him away. Constant sound of clanging metal and creaking wood was echoing through the corridors as they descended into pitch darkness.

Then he removed it, and Galabriel tied it around my waist with a strap. "My Queen, let me anoint you with this special blessed oil as a symbol of health, prosperity, and fertility..." Galabriel said, and I knelt before her for the anointment. Once knelt, Elder Elrond stood beside Gabriel, and lastly, "The symbol that the fate of our people resides in your hands." He lifted an intricate gold vine crown with precious stones and placed it on my head. "Rise, Queen Stormee Adalwülf, Queen of the Elves..." they all said, chanting, "Hail, Queen Stormee, Long Live the Queen..." three times.

I knelt in front of her, my hands gripping her face as I pressed my forehead against hers. "You're mine," I said, my voice raw. "No ancient law, no shadow princess, no cosmic bullshit will ever change that." "Yours," she agreed, her voice barely a whisper. "Only yours." The Void Crown materialized above the throne, hovering in midair like a promise. It was made of pure obsidian and silver, set with a single crimson jewel that pulsed with ancient power. The elders watched with hungry eyes as it descended toward Lilith's head.

"Are you alright?" "It's no big deal. I'll be better with some rest," said Karl. Wilbur nodded. Dawson and Cameron hurried to bow to Wilbur. To them, their Godly Emperor now seemed all the more powerful. Wilbur nodded in acknowledgment. Just then, Karl looked over at Groot. Groot had run off at full speed, returning in no time with a tray. On the tray was a robe with a crown on it. The crown was made of pure gold and looked like a flaming golden dragon curled up. There was a red gem on the dragon's forehead, emitting a fiery glow.

“Crowns aren’t just rhinestones and gold, they are made up of discipline, determinant and a hard-to-find alloy called courage, do you deem yourself worthy of the such a title?” I darted my tongue to lick my dry lips as I nodded my head as the man muttered. “I do,” “With the power of god, I may pronounce you as the Queen of Nitholirc, wife of Lords of Nitholirc and hope of people,” My heart fluttered as he gently picked the crown with his both hands and Claus bowed slightly as he placed it on his head as people cheered and clapped. My chest tightened with uneasiness, and I swallowed the lump of nervousness in my throat.

Something massive stirred in the shadows. A low hum thrummed through the forest like a warning. Kael tensed. “Stay behind me.” From the trees burst a blur of obsidian and violet light—whipping like smoke but with the weight of iron. A shape flickered in and out of visibility: a crown, hovering, spinning, thorns twisting like tendrils. The Mireling Crown. Even I knew what it was before Kael said it.

“Then kneel.” He knelt, and she lifted from the table a small silver circlet shaped of twisted wire, an heirloom of pain and pride. She placed it lightly against his shoulder; the metal’s edges drew a bead of blood that welled bright against his skin. “By the blood that binds and the wound that wakes,” she said, “the Thorn names its heir.” Applause scattered, hesitant. Antonio felt the air shift; a new gravity settled around Gabrielle like invisible armor. Cordelia bent close, her breath warm against his ear.

As he had always been. The High Seeress of Xaerath stepped forward, her robes heavy with centuries of woven prophecy. In her hands, she held the crown — not a diadem of vanity, but a circlet of truth and burden, reforged with blood-gold and engraved with the sacred crest of the Forgotten.

On either side of him stood two masked temple guards, still as statues. Opposite him, on the other side of the crown, stood Elder Thalos, the head of the Lycan Council and the oldest Lycan among them. His silver hair flowed past his shoulders, and his presence was calm but commanding. Before them, on a velvet cushion, rested the crown. The crown was made of silver and obsidian, with ancient symbols carved into it—the marks of the First Lycan King. It gave off a cold, powerful energy. It looked like it could burn her if she touched it.
