My Beloved Thranduil,
Perhaps a trained bird will be a more favorable messenger? I have found several willing carriers, this one-Alkar fast became my friend upon my arrival. Thranduil, I can not tell you how I laughed and cried at your desperation. How sweet of you to send me a letter through the same means as when we were young-you filled my heart with joy at this thought. Yet, how heartbroken you must truly be to have been so desperate, to hold onto the slim thread of a chance, that this would find me. Oh my love, please forgive my departure, you know well why I had to leave, and you know I tore my heart in two when I did so.
My journey hear was a safe one. This place is truly all that they say, Thranduil. I long for the day that we can be together again, with our beautiful children at our sides. Keep the four with you sharp, and send them my love.
Yours always,
Alquauial
