Naneth,

I was wandering around Imladris when I saw a large building titled "Memorials" and stepped inside. Etched onto the walls and pillars are the names of the warriors that fell. I searched for hours, trying to find Kili's and when I realized that the memorial was only for elven warriors. I cannot describe the pain I felt then, as it broke my heart a bit more. I was sad, Naneth. So I carved Kili's name next to Haldir of Lorien's. I fear I have broken a rule, although if I have, it was worth the price.

Lindir came and found me today, for reasons that I do not know. I fear that he has fallen in love with the wrong person, for after Kili I do not believe that I can love again. My heart is broken, Naneth, although I do not weep.

Is Kili walking up there with you, Naneth? Does he know who you are? I understand that you can never answer my questions, but I wish that you could. If Ada knows I write to you, please tell him that he is dear to my heart as well. Certain people never leave your heart, and you will never leave mine.

Amin Mela Lle,

Tauriel
