Chapter Six
"You all lied!"
Legolas turned to look at the approaching elf maid. Aredhel stood and watched as two silver haired elves entered from another door. They saw Deladrieng and paused then one smiled warmly while the other looked slightly angered.
"You lied to me, all of you!" screamed Deladrieng.
"What-" but Aragorn was silenced by Deladrieng once more.
"Did you know Cary? Yes, is that why you made me lost in the forest! Because I was older?" the elf maid in question looked even angrier. Aredhel stepped forward but was stopped by Morwen's gentle hand. With a look towards the door, Morwen indicated that Aredhel should take her children and leave.
"Yes I knew!" spat the silver haired elf maid, "you would have got the crown! I wish you had never come back!" still yelling at Deladrieng, Cary was led from the room by her brother. Silently the room emptied until only Aragorn, Legolas, Deladrieng and Eol were left. Deladrieng sunk to the ground and sobbed aloud. Gently Eol took the black book from her fingers and opened it to a certain page. Clearing his throat he began to read…
…There is much joy in my heart. Morwen, my sister has given birth to a baby boy. She is weak from the birth for it was a difficult one but she is happy. The boy is small and is not breathing very well, I fear for his life. I must be strong for my sister though; much has troubled her of late…
…It is with a heavy heart that I must write this. My sister's baby has died. Morwen has gone into a deep sleep and I fear for her life. The queen has given birth to triplets, two girls and a boy. One girl has dark hair and I sense much hope from her. I should be happy for the realm has and heir now but I cannot help but feel saddened by my little nephew's untimely death…
…Aredhel is saddened by the birth of her babies; Melkor says she is too young to have more than one child. I fear all three may die if they do not get the proper care. But they have been named; Deladrieng is the oldest and the dark haired child, hope of love. The other girl is called Cary; the loved one while her brother is Tyndall, burning light. The queen and her king must decide what is to become of her children…
…My heat sings once more, Aredhel has given Deladrieng to Morwen in the hopes that she will awaken and love this new baby. It has worked; Morwen awoke and will not let the baby out of her sight. She had some news to give me. It seems the late queen Idril's sister, Guinevere, has twins about a year old. Both twins have red hair like their beautiful mother. She has named them Morgan and Nimue after fabled witches. I fear what will happen in the future but I know we must stay strong.
…There has been much debate over who will be the next queen. By birth is should be Deladrieng but the law states only a child with the silver hair can rule the elves of Moriquendi…
Eol paused and looked at his audience. He saw the slight smile edging onto Deladrieng's face and was gladdened. He then looked at Legolas and Aragorn.
"Can that book tell us what happened to Aredhel as a child?" asked Aragorn while Legolas bit his lip and looked on with pleading eyes. Eol smiled.
"Why yes, I do believe it can, you see, this book was written by me, in it I recorded every event that has happened to the royal line of the Moriquendi, it is my job to note it down for long ago something terrible happened to the first Queen, Gwen. Ever since then I have recorded the long line of deaths and mishaps that have happened for I fear that soon it will end, and when it does, only then can the Moriquendi be free. You may wonder why I am telling you this, I believe you can help end it, for you see, the royal line has come to a complete circle. It first started with queen Gwen and her red-haired sister Drei…"
