CHAPTER 8- The Bearers of Bad News

A few months later, the rest of Legolas's company returned to Tar e-Ndaedelos, with a message. Legolas had joined a Fellowship to protect the bearer of The One Ring of Sauron on his journey to destroy it. "Alas," cried Luinil, "My love has gone away. I shall wait for him, and hope that his journey leads him back to my brethil tree alive and well, so that he can raise our son with me! May the grace of the Valar protect you, melamin!"

And somewhere in the lands west of Hith Aiglin, Legolas heard in his head, as from a great distance, but still clear as the light of early morning, right after tindomë, "May the grace of the Valar protect you, melamin!" in the clear, high, beautiful voice of his beloved Luinil. He knew then that he would have some joy to think of throughout his journey, which he knew would prove to be long and hard, but which would be bearable because of the thought of his wonderful wife Luinil and his young son A'maelelen at home in Tar e-Ndaedelos!
