That's lovely. The first line is beautifully poetic.

This is delightful. The first paragraph almost makes the reader hold breath even as Beren surely did when he first sighted her.

He saw her first by moonlight, all silver and ebony,

What a perfect opening! So vivid.

I love it! You write so well and i really like the first two sentences.. :)

...And when she smiled he forgot everything else, all his long travels and cares and bloodstained grief.

That is indeed an enchantment. Very lyrical, there's a sustained sweetness here that overlies the bitter past and future, and all in a nicely delineated image of 'silver and ebony'. :-)
