First of the Series of Núruainu, Angel of Death
She did not want this duty, this task. But He told it was hers and hers alone. That was why she was here truly. Her time to leave the Halls will come soon. His Children were about to awake.
Deathless he said they were, though some cannot escape and she must lead them to where Namo resides.
Who would be first, she would ask, How will I know?
You will know, he would say.
It was her duty, her task and hers alone.
When it came time for her to leave the Timeless Halls, she glanced back only once then she turned away. She will never return there until the ending of the world.
Ea, the world as it was, was a dark and untamed world. Full of wonders that her kin the Valar had created. Lanterns of white fire filled the void above her, stars they were called, and before her great bodies of salt and fresh liquid called water, clear and cool, here did the Vala Ulmo held dominion. Land, great in distance was dark and terrible but held a beauty all on its own. This is where she will dwell until time has stop and the world is no more.
