Chapter 5: Memories

"Atara don't leave me. I love you." A young elf for not much sooner will she be able to be called elfling stood before her mother and was weeping openly, trying to persuade her mother to through responsibility to the wind and stay. The young silver haired elfling reached up a small hand and wiped away the tear that had fallen down her mothers pale face. "Cerelina Lynn, we were born into a world filled with beauty and love that is being destroyed and loved turned into hate. One moment we are respected and the next we are feared. Few have the privileged to change the world, for us it is responsibility. It is destiny. Soon it will be your turn to take the throne, and rise up with Valinor and fight for what is rightfully ours. My job in accepting that role is much more complicated. There are thousands of elves and humans in Middle Earth that would be defenseless, with the exception of a few elves. Middle Earth almost lost everything to Sauron; they will not be able to handle The Dark Prince, for he has now named himself Sauron's heir, and the next Dark Lord." Nimrodel quickly embraced her daughter trying to stay in control of her emotions. "Besides you will still be able to see me, after all of your trainings have been completed. Then you can home and learn what it means to be an elf of Valinor.

"I don't want to be alone atara." The silver haired child whimpered.

"Nonsense, you will be learning from your Aunt Galadriel, and your brother will be there. Now you are a princess, and a princess of Valinor, Hold your Head high and remember that. I wan t you to know that Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au'."(My heart shall weep until it sees thee again.) Nimrodel quickly stood and stepped next to her older sister. They silently embraced knowing this will be the last time the see each other until the Halls of Mandos. Cerelina was going to live in Lorien until her aunt could teach her no more, then she would journey home to learn what would help save her people.

Katanya sat up in the bed, now fully awake. She winced as if trying to shake the painful memory out of her mind. She remembered that, that was the day she began her quest to become the White Rose, and how it came with a price, and yet she if given the choice she would still choose to walk down that path.

"Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au' atara." She whispered before settling back into her bed. She has been given time to rest, and she couldn't remeber the last time she slept for almost a full night so why not take advantage of it? (My heart shall weep until it sees thee again, mother.)
