Description
Inspired by the Silmarillion chapter: Of Thingol and Melian.
Melian just can't wait to be queen... XD
The nightingale is a reference of "Nightingales follow her wherever she goes."
Imagine Thingol freezing in that pose of years (or centuries)! Haha.
For you who are unfamiliar with the story:
Melian is a Maia (higher than Elf) who works for Vana and Este (both are Valar, higher than Maia). She loves flowers and songs, and nightingales follow her wherever she goes. One day she comes to Middle-Earth and meets the King of Doriath, Thingol, who falls in love with her. He touches her hand and stands freezing for years. The trees around them grow tall. Then he marries her and she becomes the Queen of Doriath. Their daughter is Luthien, the most beautiful creature in Middle-Earth.
Melian, Vana, Este, Thingol (c) Tolkien

It explains a lot why Melian married Thingol.
