Translation: Le melin - I love you ; Gohenna nîn - forgive me

Le melin!

It hurts!

Le melin!

Loosing her was more than I can bear.

Le melin!

The grieve had almost made me fade. I survived. For you, for my people, for my duty. But my heart has turned into a stone.

Le melin!

I cannot allow myself to love you, ion nîn. What if I was to loose you, too? Dark shadows are creeping into Greenwood the Great. We are at war. Love - just the word is a threat in times like that.

Le melin!

Every time you leave the palace I have to force myself not to love you. My strong warriorprince! One day you may not come back to me. I cannot allow you to take my heart with you.

Le melin!

The silent hurt in your eyes begging me for love haunts me every night. Do you think I do not see what is happening within you, ion nîn?

Le melin!

Silvercold ice is now fighting the fire of love that has burned your soul for too long. Deep inside the stone which my heart has become, I mourn for your precious loving heart.

Le melin!

How can I allow you to become an ice-crystal like me? Believe me, ion nîn, it is the best for us. If all love is gone from our lives, we will not feel the hot, searing pain of loss anymore.

Le melin!

The more I see you begging me for love, your eyes asking me to help your heart fighting the cool darkness, the more I push you away. It is what is needed to be done.

Le melin!

What father would I be, not trying to protect you from the pains of love and loss? I know it hurts, ion nîn. Being pushed away is horrible for your kind, caring heart. But I need to protect myself and you. This is my duty as a father.

Le melin!

What a pathetic liar I am! Claiming not to love you! I know I am betraying my own heart by pushing you away. It is the only way I am able to survive. To burry my feelings for you deep withing myself, where nobody can reach it. Not even myself. It gives me a perfidious feel of safety.

Le melin!

Deep, deep inside a small corner of my heart, a fire is eating me up. Longing to tell you how much I love you, giving you what you need so much!

Le melin!

I am not brave enough!

Gohenna nîn, ion nîn!
