It was a clear night and the stars shone brightly over head as Elrond walked in his garden in Rivendell. He looked up at the stars and sighed feeling anticipation. His wife, Celebrian, was due to have their child that night. Suddenly he heard the soft footsteps of one of his servants coming to fetch him.
"My lord, your wife has just given birth to the child... she wishes you to come," and with that the servant bowed ad left.
Elrond ran to be with his wife. When he walked into the room, he noticed that his wife was holding a small bundle.
Celebrian turned to her husband and smiled "Look Elrond, we have another daughter." With that, she handed Elrond their baby girl.
As Elrond stared at his youngest daughter he was amazed for in her was the light of Valinor. It seemed as if the child was one of the Valar rather than an Elf. "The only name that should suit you, my child, are ones that would reflect your beauty." He turned to his wife, " Are you sure this is our child? She looks to be... "
"Even prettier than Luthien herself? I know, she is truely a gift to us from the Valar." Celebrian said. "Yet I fear that I will not be able to see her grow to full womanhood..."
Elrond looked at his wife with curiosity. "My wife, what do you mean?"
"Oh do not listen to me Elrond... We have a more pressing matter, naming the child," Celebrian pointed out. "I think her name should be... Iluvien Tinuviel Undomiel... a bit long but I beleive it suits her, don't you agree?"
Elrond only nodded as he stared at his new daughter who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. "Iluvien," he whispered softly, as he brought her to the window.
