Irisse learns of her new name.
I do not own anything.
She learned of her new name in a conversation with Turgon. It came up out of nowhere, catching her by surprise.
"And the Sinda said, 'Your sister Lady Aredhel - '"
She caught her breath. So that was what the Sindar named her, along with Turgon for Turukano and Fingon for Findekano.
Turgon was looking at her, his face devoid of emotion, as usual. "Well? Do you like the name?"
She nodded. "Yes."
She did not exactly like the name Aredhel. But it suited her, now. No longer was she Irisse. That name belonged to the innocent elleth who had hunted in the forests of Valinor with her cousins. Who had played with them, ignorant of the feud brewing between their fathers.
She realized that she had started to become Aredhel at the Kinslaying. She was not innocent, she had killed Teleri. She had become more and more Aredhel since the triumphant Noldor had left Alqualonde with the ships. A little more, when Mandos proclaimed the Doom and exiled her. A lot more, when she had looked across the sea and realized that her beloved cousins had abandoned her. A little more, day by day, in the Helcaraxe.
Yes, Aredhel Ar-Feinel was truly her name now.
As always, please review!
