~*~ flashback ~*~
"Anodien, hurry, you'll be later for your morning lessons. Plus, you have to see to Arwen before you go!" "Yes, mother." I stumbled out of my bed and quickly with my mother's help got dressed. I wore a plain blue dress that flowed down around my ankles. My feet were bare against the cold stone floor. Sitting down on my parent's bed, my mother took up her comb and ran it through my long golden hair. She turned me around and smiled at me. My mother's beautiful gray eyes stared down at me. She playfully slapped me on the bottom and said, "Now go. I'll see you at dinner." "Yes mother," was my simple reply. I ran down the hall and around the corner. I entered the second door on the right and looked shyly upon the younger maiden. She stood in the middle of the room, still in her night clothing. "m' lady. I am Anodien, daughter of Ithilin. I have been asked to assist you," I whispered. Arwen looked up. Her blue eyes looked dimly into mine. I smiled nervously and then Arwen finally spoke. "My dresses are in the wardrobe. I'd like to wear the pink one, if you don't mind." "Of course, m' lady!" I scrambled over to the standing closet and found the rose coloured dress. I helped Arwen dress and pull up her hair. "Will that be all, m' lady?" "For now it will, thank you though, um.Anodien, wasn't it?" I smiled at her and then slipped out of the door. I ran down the hall and caught up to Lindir, son of Lumsden. Lindir and I hurried into the small study of Elrond. An old man sat in a chair by the balcony and looked up as we entered the room. "Good morning, Mirthandir," Lindir and I said. "And good morning to you too," Mirthandir smiled over at us. This was a rare occasion, when he taught Lindir and me. He had been teaching Lindir for 20 years and I had started learning under him some five years ago. I didn't really like studying the common tongue, I found it vial and coarse. But he made us study it anyway. So we began our day with reading from some of the ancient scrolls.
My mother was walking along the path of the waterfalls when I came running up to her. She smiled and patted me on my golden head. "How was the lesson today?" she asked quietly. "Wonderful," I replied. "We got to study some of the maps of the eastern cities of Gondor and Rohan." My mother feel silent at the mention of the eastern cities, but I didn't notice it at the time. I keep talking about the many things Mirthandir had made me study that morning.
About two hundred years later.(still flashback)
"Anodien!" "I'm coming Father!" I ran down the stairs and looked up into the stern face of my father. He sighed and glanced passed me up the stairs. My mother stood at the head of the stairway looking down at us. I ran back up the stairs and hugged her. She smoothed my hair and then cupping my chin, looked deep into my eyes. "Be good child," she cooed. "Do behave for your father, while you are in Lothlorien. May your journey be safe." Then, kissing me lightly on the head, she slipped a small silver box into my hands. Then, pushing me softly to the side, my parents embraced. Only now do I remember the words that they spoke.
"Ithilin." "Hush, it is not the time or place for this. You know that I love you and that Anodien loves you. We will come back to you." "And then I will be waiting." "The Dark Lord must be held at bay, Elwing, you know that!" "Yes.but can't you wait a little longer to go? And why must Anodien go too? Why can't she stay here, with me?" "She wants to go with me and see the Lady of the Wood. You know that all well and good too, Elwing.don't worry, my love. You do that already far too much." "But I've hardly gotten to know her." "She doesn't need to know about.it, not yet, not yet. Leave it to time. Oh, Elwing, do not despair, take heart in the goodness of the Light. On day, we too will leave and join the Valar." "I know.farewell, then. I bid you both a safe journey." "Farewell, my love. We will meet again."
I had gone over to a figure standing in the shadows. "Well, I guess I won't see you in a long time then." "Yeah, well, we'll see each other soon enough, and by that time, you'll have forgotten all about me." "I doubt that Anodien." "Whatever Lindir. So, where are your parents?" "They are preparing to go over the Sea.with my.sister.gone.well, I'm going to stay with Master Elrond. My parents arranged everything." "Well, I'm glad that you're staying. But, I guess that I should go now. Namarrie, mellon." I stood on my tiptoes and I hugged and then shyly kissed Lindir good-bye. Lindir blushed and waved good-bye and was then gone.
My father had already mounted Earendil and was waiting for me to climb on in front of him. I hugged my mother one last time and then ran down to meet up with my father. He gathered me up and placed me in front of him. My mother waved sadly from the stairway.
That night, I opened the silver box that my mother had given me. I undid the clasp and slide the lid open. Inside, resting on a pillow of red silk, was a small, teardrop shaped locket. It was scarred and a little rusty but I treasured it.
