- These characters all belong to the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien. This
story was written for pleasure and not for financial gain. "Naneth
has a headache and needs to rest," Gilraen told her small son who
stared at her wide-eyed. She buried her aching head in the pillow as
his nurse led him away.
"Estel make naneth better."
Gilraen woke from an uneasy slumber to find her child pressing a handkerchief filled with crushed leaves against her forehead. She recognised a familiar scent.
"Did Master Elrond tell you to choose these leaves?"
"No, they called to Estel."
Even as her pain started to ease, a thrill coursed through Gilraen. The child recognized athelas. He would be a great healer, and maybe more.
