Chapter 5:

Brennin

Brennin was a wise elf. He reminded people about Elrond, the father of Arwen. He had very long black hair and his eyes were brown. He was very tall and he used to wear his hair in a tail. Brennin was wearing a black coat with a design of the two trees which ones were the light of Valinor before they were destroyed. Brennin was wearing a very long blouse over his dark blue pants with black strokes on the sides of the legs.. His blouse was also colored blue and also had blue strokes on the sides. His belt was golden with green diamonds. Brennin his sword was made from the best steel and the color was very dark silver. There was an inscription of a Dragon in it. People said it was the Dragon Brennin himself had killed. But Brennin never said if it was true. He was quiet. He never talked about his past or things he had gone through. But who was he?

Brennin was one of the valinor elves. When Fëanor and his family left valinor forgood, Brennin stayed behind. His very dark eyebrows made people a bit scared because his face was a bit harder than usual. But his heart was good. Brennin was a personal friend of ülmo, the Valar of the sea. Ülmo always took him with him on his trips when he was not away for long. Brennin had seen much of the world. Ülmo revealed some secrets elves better shouldn't know, but Ülmo knew Brennin was to trust.

Brennin was the son of Jewel and Ilvar. His parents never left valinor and they taught their son much wisdom. Through the years he was walking through the gardens and mountains of Valinor, Brennin caught a lot of wisdom. His innerself was very wise and the tell was he could see what people were upto by only looking at their face. Maybe that's why he saw the goodness in little Ghroshmog's eyes.

It was said he was at least more than 10.000 years old, but nobody could tell exactly when Brennin was born. It was true he had a huge wisdom. But life had been very hard for him as well.

Originally he loved Luthien, about whom people said no elf had the same beauty as she had. But Luthien choose Beren, a human and even Brennin once hated this man deeply inside. It was the same Ülmo who took him aside and learned him how to overcome this hatred. "Remember, Ülmo said The faith of them is not your faith. Whatever will happen is not up to you. It is not your choice to decide whom she will marry". Brennin choose to stay on Valinor. He first had the plan to go to Middle-Earth and to win the love of Luthien. But the wise words of Ülmo changed him.Then he met Evya. And he loved this woman dearly. She was not as beautiful as Luthien, but she was very beautiful as well. She had very long blond hair and her eyes were blue and she was always dressed in a green dress with flowers on the edges of her dress. Her necklace was filled with diamonds and the ring she was wearing on her hand, was golden with one giant stone on it. It was a red robin and had the shape of an eye of the Dragon. Long they loved each other and her music always filled the heart of Brennin. Evya played the Harp like nobody else. It was like a wind was coming when she played her Harp. It was made of a very special material and the legend was it would call the Dragons when people played on it. The Dragons was another part of the history. It was said in the other lands outside Middle-Earth, a huge Dragon lived. He was evil and Smaugh could be his relative. This Dragon was trying to kill the elves living on Valinor, but the sword of Brennin killed him. The material that as found in the mountains where the beast lived, was the same as the harp. But Evya never found a Dragon on her way when she played on her Harp.

It was a sad and tragical day that made Brennin decide to leave Valinor. Evya was killed by orcs on a trip to visite her three sisters who left Valinor together with the Noldorian elves. She was Noldorian as well. Brennin was Sindarin. Brennin was waiting for her return when he found the waves crying. "Ülmo he said, why are the waves so sad?" Ülmo looked at Brennin and his eyes were hollow. He said: "Brennin, you have to be strong, for your beloved one, won't come home anymore". Then Brennin found out Evya was killed by the orcs. His heart was broken. He could no longer enjoy the beauty of Valinor. And he decided to leave to go for Middle-earth.

The last words he spoke to Ülmo were: "Dear valar, what ever happen may happen but I want to go to the place where my beloved one died and I want to fight to defeat these aweful creatures who killed my Evya." Ülmo said: "Brother Brennin, so it will be. But remember, your gift will not be taken from you. As long as you will live, you will have the gift to forsee things. You will be there for others when they need your help"

At the day Brennin left,Manwë said: "brother Brennin, it is time for thee to go to Middle-Earth. We will miss thee, but we won't let thee go without a special gift."

Manwë handled over the sword of the Dragon. "May it protect thee on thou way and may it help thee to find wisdom and faith in thy life".

Brennin bent his head and promised to live his life as good as it would get.

The years Brennin spent in Middle-Earth left their marks on his face, but his heart was pure and truthful. He stayed with the Noldorian and Sindarian elves. And it was him whom the elves trust.

So he watched Ilëa leaving with her family. And he closed his door, thinking about what just happened.
