Introduction
Here we go again off on another adventure. It has been years since I have read Tolkien so be patient with mistakes, or point them out.
Oh, I don't own Middle Earth, Lord of the Rings; any characters etc, I just play with them.
I am Princess Elandra of Gondor, High King Elessar's younger sister. His sister! You exclaim, but he's an only child. But no, he really is my brother, 20 years older than me.
Oh yes, Arathorn, Mother's husband, and Aragorn's father died when Aragorn was a young child, about 7 I think. So obviously I am not Arathorn's child. And no, Mother did not re marry as such a very young widow might have been expected to.
Instead, she trained as a Ranger and spent her time either wandering Middle Earth as a protector of the people, or in Rivendell, where many Rangers go to rest between missions.
So where do I fit in, you ask? Well, Mother had a secret lover, and I am that man's daughter. Like my brother Aragorn, I was reared in Rivendell, and like him I too was adopted by Lord Elrond. Also, like Mother and Aragorn, I was trained as a Ranger by Elrond's twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir.
My dear brother has asked me to write down the story of my life, as until the son Arwen bore him a few months ago comes of age, I am heir to Gondor's throne. Without this explanation, many would doubt my claim, and as tomorrow I ride into great danger, equal to that I saw in the recent Ring wars when I rode with Aragorn's company of Rangers and fought like a man, the only female Ranger to do so, I agreed to leave this document in his and Arwen's care.
Lord Elrond tried to stop me from riding to war, but as Elladan and Elrohir unexpectedly supported me, he gave way. Maybe it was because I am Aragorn' sister and as such had a vested interest in seeing my brother succeed. Then again perhaps no one else wished to be entrusted with Arwen's message to Aragorn.
I am wandering from the point of this document; although I am supposed to relate some of my deeds here, I am first supposed to tell of my parents. Of course Aragorn and Arwen know who my father is, but this is not public knowledge, and between us we have decided the people have a right to know.
I will tell the first and longest part of my tale as Mother told me. I think it will shock many people, but I am used to shocking people. I am not ashamed of the circumstances of my birth, that here in Middle Earth; I am that rare thing, a child of parents who did not wed.
So are we curious yet people? Want to know more? Tell me and I will write more but only if you ask!
