Nosse (Family)
~~~POV-REYNA OF GLACIA~~~
Nine months I had been in Lorien, and only once had Lirawen's father come here. Despite this fact, Lirawen often visited me in the night with tears in her eyes. She was truly afraid of him.
How or why a father could strike such fear into the heart of his child, I do not know. I stared up at the wood ceiling, Haldir kept invading my thoughts. Just two nights ago, he had spoken of marriage. I did not know how to tell Lirawen. I was excited beyond belief but I know that Lirawen likes Haldir too. Can I share my joy with her without rubbing salt in her wound?
Tiredly, I sat up and began to pull on my golden armor. Today I had to train; it would clear my head. As I walked out of my flet, I saw Haldir and Lirawen talking.
"Do you think she will say 'yes'?" While Haldir's voice 'was' hushed, my ears were sharper.
Lirawen gasped, "Uh...I suppose. Why not? You are a great man Haldir." He kissed her cheek lightly.
"Diola lle mellonamin. Lle naa quel mellon." {Thank you my friend. You are a good friend.}
Lirawen nodded, the look of anguish evident to any female. Haldir approached me, "Quel amrun melamin." {Good morning my love.}
I blushed, "Quel amrun a' lle vithel." {Good morning to you too.}
Without another word I departed and went to run. I loathed archery practice and finally convinced Haldir too allow me to skip it for a while. I was horrible with a bow; I could not hit the broad side of a mallorn tree from ten feet away.
Slowly but surely, Haldir was teaching me to become a better bowman. As I broke free of the trees and foliage, a great open plain awaited me. Much to my surprise so did Lord Celeborn.
I bowed my head reverently, "Lord Celeborn, to what do I owe the honor?"
The fair skinned elf before me was somewhat intimidating. "You must keep Lirawen safe. She is in grave danger, and since you are breaking her heart, I think you owe it to her."
A tinge of regret nagged at me, "Of course Lord. As second commander, it is my duty to protect those dearest to the Lord and Lady." My quote from the Code made the mood even more awkward.
He sighed, "Dear Reyna, please reconsider your relationship with Haldir. Lirawen never intends upon leaving these woods, and neither does Haldir, while in your eyes I see that yearning for adventure. You cannot leave Haldir here and he will not forsake his precious wood."
My brow furrowed, "What are you suggesting?"
Silence hung between us as he hesitated, "Leave these woods Reyna. Leave them and do not return, you are not meant to be here. You must feel it too..."
I had felt it; the nagging feeling in my gut like something was in disarray. "I understand what you speak of but my heart has always led me, and my heart tells me to stay for love. My heart tells me to give up my yearning for adventure for Haldir and a comfortable life here."
Celeborn put a comforting hand on my shoulder, "Just consider it please. The Lady and I will make sure everyone knows where you are if they wish to seek you out."
I frowned, "Of course Lord. May I have some time to think now?" He nodded and walked away silently. I wanted to scream in rage, 'how could the Lord and Lady of the Wood betray me like this? As if it was not obvious already that they favored Lirawen...' I sighed defeated.
As I padded back to my flet I pulled a small map from my armor. It was the map Galadriel had given me when she told me of my heritage. It spoke of a distant land, my homeland, Glacia. Maybe I will be wanted there.
Without another thought, I walked into Haldir's flet, placed a kiss on his forehead as he slept and went to pack. "I do not need to stay where I am not wanted."
By dawn, I was gone.
~~~POV CHANGE-LIRAWEN OF EARDOR~~~
I woke somewhere between high noon and sunrise, the air was rich with the smell of rain. The scent of moisture hung in the breeze and lifted my saddened spirits. As I walked from my flet and saw Haldir's forlorn face, all that changed.
Before I could ask what happened, he handed me a piece of parchment. On it was very rushed penmanship that read:
~Dearest Haldir,
I am so sorry, but I must go. I do love you, and I hope you will still marry me when I return. I have left for Glacia to seek out my mother; I hope to return before fall comes again. Until then, you have my love and my heart. Reyna~
I wanted to weep for Haldir, but I wanted to leap for joy at the same time. Instead of doing either, I embraced Haldir. "Mellonamin, amin hiraetha ikotane." {My friend, I am so sorry.}
He welcomed my embrace and smiled a little, "Amin vithel." {Me also.}
Haldir planted a friendly kiss on my forehead and walked into his flet with a sigh. I stood in the doorway, "Lle merna quen?" {You want to talk?}
With a faint nod he responded, "Yassen lle, Rumil, ar Orophin." {With you, Rumil and Orophin.}
I nodded, "I will go get them. It is always nice to talk with family." With that, I slipped out in search of Haldir's two brothers. Somehow the three of us must console him.
~~To Be Continued~~
Sry about the delay, I am so tired...I will post again in a little under a week.
