1981
The King Courtyard was decorated like never before. There were colored lamps hanging everywhere even from the branches of Nimloth and music filled the air. It was the engagement for Atanamir.
Murazor participated with most of the peers of Numenor, but unlike others he did not enjoy himself; He envied Atanamir and felt only comfort in the wine that was served.
Atanamir youngest sister spoke to Murazor; "Maybe during your travels you have found a woman, who you want to spend the rest of your life with? She asked.
Murazor answered; "I have not! Maybe I need to travel with your family to Middle Earth. There I have heard it is easier to fall in love. Some people says that in Middle Earth it is possible to fall in love more than once."
He looked at his half-sister, knowing that she knew his origin. She quickly said; "That is why I do not go there!" and left him.
Atanamir gave a speech about the wonderful future of Numenor and how it would affect Middle Earth. He ended by saying; "everything you see here will be brought to Middle Earth. We start with the White Tower and from there Numenor will spread."
The King added; "The tower will be finished a few years. As soon as my heir has produced his heir, we will return to Middle Earth and hold a feast for the people there, which they will remember for ages."
In Middle Earth, a ship was sailing towards Vinyalonde. Cirdan and Elrond was on board.
Vinyalonde was deserted and the town and shipyard lay in ruins.
Elrond said; "This is not the work of Sauron. The Numenoreans left this place intentionally."
Cirdan said; "They have turned towards the south after the fall of Tharbad. To places where the Eldar will not come."
Elrond asked; "Will you go further?"
Cirdan said; "We will travel as far as Ras Morthil. Further south we will find only Avari."
The ship sailed southward and reached Tatyalonde by the White River. There they found the Numenoreans as productive as they once were at Vinyalonde.
Cirdan asked to be presented to the master of Tatyalonde, and soon a Numenoreans came to him.
Cirdan said; "It has been a long time since we have had the pleasure of a visit from the people of Numenor. These days there hardly comes a ship from Numenor to Lindon anymore. I have sailed here to see you superiors."
One of the Numenoreans there said; "Most of them are in Numenor to celebrate the betrothal of the King heir."
Cirdan said; "I have a message to your King, please see that he gets it. We do not want you to fell any more trees in Eriador. There was a time when a squirrel could go from tree to tree from the very south to the cold north. The dark lord burned most of the tree but if you fell the rest the will soon be gone, and Eriador will be changed forever."
Another Numenorean said; "What concern is it of you what we do in Middle Earth. We saved you from the enemy, and if our endeavors is to the south, why do you care?
Cirdan said; "there were many casualties in the war against Sauron, and one of them were the forests of Eriador. I wish to protect all living."
The ship from Lindon did not anchor at Tatyalonde. Cirdan was determined to return home. Elrond looked at him with pity.
He said; "I see you lose confidence in the Edain?
Cirdan said; "What do you see when you look at them?"
Elrond responded; "I see hope among them. They are misguided by their self-confidence, and we cannot correct them. However, the Edain will live on to form the future of Middle Earth.
Three years after in Armenelos, Atanamir got married, and only two year later, his first son was born.
