1-A spoiled little girl…

**Ithilann

Ada [father - sindarin] should be here tomorrow, or the day after or even the day after that. It has always been that way, as long as I can remember. Ada was just there when he was there. My mother, Zaïr, avoided the subject and I was requested to do the same. On my twelve birthday I was rebuffed as a result of too many questions: ''Ithilann! Spoiled little girl! Your father has others things to do, he has another family to take care of…besides you do not give him any reason to do otherwise.'' I didn't finish my meal and Mother couldn't really understand why.

Usually, when his path leads him to Bree, Ada contents himself with granting a few coins to my mother and asking me a couple of questions. Likewise, as long as I can remember, Zaïr had been cruel with me. The healer established that it was a cruelty due to childbirth's madness. There was nothing that could be done until I have had enough.

I gathered a few belongings, took some of the coins Ada left behind him and I wrote two letters by way of conclusion: a few sindarin words for the latter and a few words in the language of mankind for Zaïr. I was in too much anger for further explanations.
