ELDARION'S GIFT
My dear Silwen,
How long will you be on the road I wonder?
Young Eldarion still comes to my room lamenting for his poor horse, Mother still intends to sell her.
Thankfully I have been allowed to return to my room. Here I can look at the things Father has given me in the past, like the sword. I have a small porch which can only be reached from my room; it looks out to the mountains behind the city. I sit on the rail and sing every song that comes into my head, for no one can hear me singing above the noises of the city.
Though I still have some pain now and again my ankle is much improved.
I must go now. There is much commotion, as if the palace gate is opening. I must go to see what is happening.
~ Later ~
Silwen! Silwen! Oh Silwen! The lord Legolas has come to the city! He has brought the most beautiful horse with him. It is for Eldarion, of course, and this makes him very happy. And, Silwen, the horse is white. It is just as little Eldarion had wanted. He cannot cease speaking of it. He now spends all of his time out in the stable with him and tries to brush her, at his height!
I have never seen such a wonderful horse, except for Father's horse. Legolas said this one is the daughter of Snowmane.
Legolas also brought me a letter from Father. When Legolas handed me the letter his face was shining. It was strange, though, when he looked at me the shine seemed to leave, and he had a strange look in his eyes. I do not know why he looked at me so. Father sent with the letter a small necklace. It appears to be made of mithril, and on the chain is hung a small pendant in the shape of a butterfly. The wings have tiny pale blue gems which look like stars.
Father says that he is doing well, and he chanced upon some elves on their way to the Grey Havens. They gave him the necklace to give to someone that he loved most dearly. Though I must say that I thought that he would have given it to mother, I feel so special that he gave it to me. He is staying in Bree now, as I am sure that you know.
Yours Truly,
Arwing
