1291
Ancalime was buried in Noirinan as her farther once was. There were only a few hundred Numenoreans present and very little nobility.
Three years after Surion and Cemenie were married in the Kings Courtyard. No elves came from the west. However, it was a happy feast, only hit by sadness when one of the family remembered the lack of Surions sister's presence.
Cemenies family had come from Hyarnustar where they worked in the vineyards. They had brought with them lots of wine, and Cemenie danced for her husband, who was infatuated by her, as if it was the Vala Nessa dancing for Tulkas.
After Eruhantale, Surion came to see his father and mother.
"I see you have something grave on your mind, son;" the King said.
Surion said; "I gave a promise to my sisters long ago, to come and visit them in Middle Earth. It has been fifty years since they left Numenor.
Anarion said; "You have just got married, son! Why not wait until you have had children?"
Surion answered; "The captain of the last ship with supplies to Vinyalonde, told me his men were unable to find my sisters in Tharbad. Therefor they have had no supply from Numenor for years. I fear for them."
Anarion said; "What about Cemenie? Should you not also care for her?"
Surion answered; "I will ask her to travel with me!"
Lendalle said; "Never has a queen or crown princess of Numenor sat foot in Middle Earth, not even Almarian the daughter of Veantur!"
Surion said; "Cemenie loves me; I am sure, she will travel with me!"
Lendalle said; "My heart longs after news from my daughters, but I fear this journey!"
Surion said; "Worry not mother, we will be escorted by the guards of the High King of the Noldor!"
Anarion stated; "Remember son, the laws of Numenor still states, you have to be Numenorean to come here. That will apply for your unborn children as well."
Surion answered; "I am aware of the laws of our country! Should Yavannah bless us with children, if will be when we return."
Lendalle said; "Then go and see your sisters; if you find them unmarried, ask them to return!"
Surion and Cemenie sad in the courtyard next to Nimloth.
Cemenie was sad after she had understood Surions request.
Cemenie said; "I love you husband, and I will never regret marrying you. However, this journey I fear! Will you promise that no harm will come to me?"
Surion said; "I will! The Great King of Noldor has servants that will protect us on the journey!"
Three years after Surion and Cemenie left Romenna. They sailed to Lindon, and Sultar and his elves entered the ship and sailed to Vinyalonde.
The sailed up the Grey River and came to Tharbad. Cemenie disliked the poverty of Middle Earth compared to that of Numenor. They came to the house of Anarion, but were surprised to find other people living there.
"Who are you?;" Surion asked the person who opened the door slightly.
"I am the owner of this house"; the stranger said.
"Where are the two Numenoreans women who used to live here?" Anarion asked.
"They left!" The stranger said with a high voice, "What business is this of yours, anyway?"
Sultar grabbed the door and opened it completely.
"This house belong to the Numenoreans, as it was those who built it! Now tell us what you are doing here, and where the former owners are!" He commanded.
"I see…" the stranger said and bowed; "Of course we will be leaving immediately. The other question I do not know the answer to!" He left the door and shouted to other people in the house that they all should gather their belongings and leave. Then after only a very short time, they all left.
"That was easy!" Surion said.
"Maybe too easy;" Sultar added and entered the house.
The next days the company went and looked for Surions sisters. To their surprise, they quickly found them. They now lived in a small house in the very poorest part of town. Surion rushed to them and were horrified when he saw them. They seem much older than he did and the beauty of the Numenoreans had left them. They did not speak much and seemed to be ashamed of their fate.
With the aid of the elves, Surion brought Minyane and Attane back to his house.
Sultar said to Surion; "Despair not! For I may be able to help them. The herb Athelas have healing power against the dark side of Middle Earth. It once grew in Beleriand and survived the War of Wrath."
Surion said; "I have never heard of this herb!"
Sultar said; "Why would the Numenoreans know of such herbs, when the evil it cures does not exist in your home?"
Cemenie was also horrified when she saw the princesses. She remembered them both from Emerie. To her husband she said; "This place is evil! I can feel it. It will destroy the Numenoreans. I want to return home."
Surion looked at her and said; "I love you, and you can leave for Vinyalonde and then Numenor. However, I will stay. These are my sisters, and I want them to recover and return with me, when they have! I cannot leave the here!"
Cemenie cried; "Then I stay with you, regardless of what evil will come to me! Only when you leave, I will leave!"
