A/N So it would be better to put this at the end of this thing given it's so short, but I don't think it matters too much. This, is intended for some role-playing friends I have in the game so they can see some things that the character may never reveal, or it will be hard to reveal. But disregarding this: this character will be part of my saga whenever I can get to that point in time. Fun fact: he is the grandson of one of the main characters in the current installment (I'll let you guess who, given the name similarities, if you have read it :) ) I suppose also spoilers for that saga as well...
This is not going to be very linear in terms of installments. It will mostly include things from role play sessions: during or after, and then flashbacks to the past as revealings. Or however I intend to really do this :P Plus, any other player's characters that very likely will be mentioned in this, I will have sought their permission to use said names.
To ones who stumble upon this: I hope you enjoy, and hope to hear feedback from you :)
One can say I have many faces. Some only a select few see; and one, many, to all, will see. That is how we operate, the elves…To the public and acquaintances we can appear cold and unforgiving, if our kindred have given that vibe. Or we are cheerful and pleasant to be around.
That is how we are, to the common eye. But to family, and dear friends…we can be so much different in demeanor.
A library does not enforce or throw their books at those who pass by, nay, they abide in their shelves, waiting for one to find its content intriguing to research on. Yet in that waiting, so does the possibility of becoming lost in a ruin arise; forgotten for many ages to come. Musty; old, and the information much harder to discern and understand. Any who are willing to delve in ancient texts must have the desire to do so. While it may be forced: for money; self-gain, it can make the past much clearer, or provide reasons for why things are the way they are in the present day.
Why I think thus, because I believe some fail to understand that simplicity. You must look for that knowledge, you should not expect everything to be revealed to you instantly.
Time, searching…a lost art, almost, especially regarding people and their interactions with others.
I will say this, as many who know me know this: I have seen much; much than many, if not all, folk in these hither lands will never see nor experience, and ought not to look for it. It is just common knowledge among all about the elves, being eternal as long as the world lasts, and coming with such long life tends to bring many strange sights and events.
Along with this…Few remain that really know and understand me. Though to be more specific: only one, really understands, though I will admit another: among the Naugrim, I want to believe understands my behavior and questionable state of mind.
Yes…I am indeed mad on one level or another, it just seems to be the fate of pure blooded Noldor. It may not be obvious…but it is there. It may only be an effect of my diminishing and fading body. I cannot be certain, I will let the ones who have seen and understand Fading more than I do be the ones to affirm it.
Ah, the common rants in my mind. Odd things they are…
Well, this will not be the last of them, and I fear they will not cease until my dying breath.
Save the Ainur and the All-father in his splendorous halls amidst the stars…who can understand the mind of Taunolindë, the son of Laimalindë?
