Dear Legolas,

I feel that you need some update on the history outside of the Grey Havens. I have sent you a Comer family that came in just recently. Oh 1900 I think. They will live with you in the Valley of the Woods. Ask their assistance if you may need it for anything...

Elladan

I smile thoughtfully; Elladan approves of what I did. I look at the little Angel still covered in the magic and makeup asleep in my bed. I sit down beside her sleeping figure stroking her soft hair gently.
"Hewen, my dear sweet Hewen. I love you." I say no one. It was strange as I say this I felt something inside me suddenly weight down.
"Mu... mommy?" Hewen said softly opening her eyes.
I stare and those sweet bronze eyes. They have just enough brown and just the right amount of gold for her delicious eyes. She is so beautiful.
"Hewen. Sweetheart, Mommy had to go back, she told me to take care of you till she returned." I lie softly.
She blinks briefly then wraps her hands around a thin sliver necklace.
"Promise?" She asked her bronzes eyes burning holes in me.
I look at her, I lied to her for her mother, but I can't lie to for my own sake. "I won't. I don't make promises that could not be accomplished." I say hoping to confuse her.
"Accompish? What's that mean?" She said pouting.
I feel a laugh bubble up out of me. I touch her face gently, "You'll learn soon. How old are you?" I asked for her mother did not get time to tell me that.
"I am five and a half!" She smiled arching her back and trying to look tall.
"Well, do you know how to bath?" I asked hoping for an answer I did not get.
"Not on my own. Mommy helps me. Will you help me today? I got dirt on my face." She frown touching her make-up covered face. I smile at her softly, "Yes of course. We'll have to walk for a while. Do you think you can do that?"
She stopped to ponder, "Can I have a piggy back ride?"
I look at her in confusion, "I don't see why not... but what is it?"
She looked at me in disbelief as if I had just told her my mother was an Orc. "I get on your back! Come on let's do it!" She jumps me and together we fall off the bed.
"Don't do that Hewen!" I hissed knowing I can not fight back against a child.
"I'm sorry!" She says breaking into tears.
I take her up into my arms instantly, "Oh Hewen. Darling, I'm sorry. Come on I'll take you to the little pond in my favorite spot then we can get you cleaned."
She looked up at him, "Ok."
He quickly picked up the necessary items he'd need in a bag and carried Hewen on his back the whole three miles it took to get to his secret place.

I look at her now, at the age of eight trying to bath herself. She almost got it right. "Behind your ear and under your arms honey." I tell her. She looks at me for a moment and demonstrated she understand. Picking up the jar or sap mixture or shampoo as the Comers call it she hands it to me.
"Wash my hair!!!" She shouts. I laugh softly scooping some of the sticky substance and I drop it in her hair.
She hums to a song I do not know. The sap clings to her hair and anything dirty in it.
I make her look at me, "Alright. Dive." I tell her. She jumps into the pond and lets the sap dissolve and take the dirt and grim with it. "We go inside now?" She asks.
"You go on in sweetie. I have to wash now. Remember the rule?" I said to her.
"Yes, No peeking at Daddy." She said rolling her eyes.
I didn't want her to grow up and be one of those sex-craving humans the Comers told me about. Watching an elf bath could do that to her. I watch as she makes her way up to the path to the small cottage that was built by my 'secret place' to protect her from prying eyes.
When she disappeared into the house I toss off my clothe and bath wondering when would it be best to show Elladan and Elrohir what a beautiful child she had become, and that she was all mine.
