The stars twinkled against a cloudless blue-black sky. 

Singing Elbereth’s praises, Arwen danced, her head thrown back in ecstasy, intoxicated by the sheer beauty of the spring night. Gems glistened in her unbound hair, while her unshod feet seemed hardly to touch the ground.

Hardly of Arda she seemed, too ethereal to be a creature of flesh and blood, but rather that she were made of stardust, her song sweeter than the nightingale’s.

Aragorn watched entranced. His heart soared at such beauty and grace, but how could he ever hope to win this star daughter?

Overhead, Gil-Estel seemed to smile.

Aw, that was so beautiful! :) Poor Aragorn - I wish he already knew that his story will have a happy ending.

"...made of stardust..."

That's lovely imagery.

Thank you,the prompt seemed to fit Arwen as if anyone is made of star dust, she is!

Lovely. And it also conveys the slightly alien quality I imagine the elves had.

You did a wonderful job capturing that moment when he first lays eyes on her. Just beautiful.
