Or more accurately, the Seeing Stone.

As was her custom on occasion, Elentári Sirithil nos Fëanor, arguably the most powerful woman in the world, stalked silently down a remote corridor in Fëanor Palace, high above the Eternal City of Vinyatírion.

She came to a door, pushing it open and slipping inside, closing and locking it behind her... stepped up to a pedestal, and pulled free the shimmering cloth draped there... revealing the palantír.

She placed her hands thereupon, and let her mind wander, let her will direct the sight of the stone, that she might see what it would reveal...

Deep beneath the Earth, in the darkest pits of Lord Alkanphel's seat of power, Utumno, the Maia sat in a trance before a dias. His hands hovered slowly over the circular stone at first, and they clutched it suddenly, his fingers sliding slowly over the stone as he focused his energies into it. Suddenly, a hiss escaped his lips.

His eyes snapped open and his brow quickly descended, his face contorting into an evil scowl. He had found her.

Sirithil gasped... she tried to pull back from the stone, and for a moment almost began to succeed, gritting her teeth with the effort of setting her will to contend with the Maia... Alkanphel was thousands of miles away, yet she might as well be holding his hands, such is the strength of the link provided by the palantír. Her legs wobbled, yet she stayed standing, her eyes clenched shut, her forehead glistening with a thin sheen of sweat, all her concentration pouring into the battle of minds unfolding before her...

Alkanphel's eyes flashed, the brilliance of the light filling his darkened hall for an instant. The energy seemed to bleed out from his eyes, and filled the dank surrond with an eerie bluish light. It was this image that filled Sirithil's mind as Alkanphel exerted the force of his will on the Elentári's mind. It was a pity she wasn't human, or of weaker mental constitution; any effort to overthrow her mind would be well resisted.

Slowly but surely, Alkanphel bore down with the brunt of his power on the walls of Sirithil's mind.. if he could break it, the eons of conflict between Morgoth and the Elves would end.

He snickered and gripped the seeing stone. He was close.

Oh, this deserve a good tag...

They fought for well over an hour... eventually, though, even her own formidable defenses were, bit by bit, broken down, and the Elentári crumpled to the floor.

Archmage sa'Diason looks up in his workroom from the matrix he was working on. "Hmmm...I just felt a great disturbance in the overworld, as if two mighty forces were battling, and one had-" he breaks off, wincing. "Or maybe its just those tacos from lunch."
