Upon viewing the decree posted on the boards of Rivendell, the elves of Melody became shell-shocked
Evidently, this decree was introduced after nu factions, where each received personal benefits upon taking this ultiain the opportunity to travel to the Undying Lands, but losing his authority as head of the elves

Elven King Thranduil of the Woodland Real out the successor of Rivendell, but they acquired the using rights of the Vilya
Everyone received respect except the newly prolected without any hint of hesitation
Such tyrannical conduct caused even the neutral elves to be enraged, each expressing their respective objections Nevertheless, if mere objections were useful, ould there be a need to battle with ht in this world?

As he perused the words of the decree, Sheyan's lips curled into a cold smirk
”As expected, you guys can't refrain froardless of hoell the fox tail is hidden, it has been revealed too early, all according to my expectations”
Ti this period, Sheyan didn't h the sacred tree Sheyan didn't wish for his foes to seize any handle they could use against him
In his plans, secrecy and ti were of utmost importance Nevertheless, he was a little worried about offending Elder Desirese Roots
Fortunately, Sheyan held utmost faith and hope in Melody In truth, she was the most important piece of his schemes
To his present perspective, Melody displayed such unwavering faith in him even when he was absent Therefore, now that she knew of his presence, her courage would be bolstered further! He believed her confidence in him was now unshakable
”I will never disappoint you” Sheyan observed Melody's elvish residence as he mused to himself
