Chapter 35 Book 7 - I Imbe Pentanath
Suila,
I am the Watcher of Tol Eressea and I too have stumbled upon a great work, one beyond the understanding of even the Valar themselves. For althouth it is I who has mantained the stories you have read within these books, the tale is yet unfinished and has no ending.
Know then that the words of this tale are not mine, but have been kept by the Keeper of the Tales and shall you now read them as was given to me long ago, upon a fateful night beneath the new skies of Aman...keep these words close unto your hearts for you may be called upon to defend their truths.
Here then are the parting words of the Pentanath:
"I Imbe Pentanath, U chebin o i penta....I am the Pentanath, keeper of the tales!
Those who persist until all is done shall come to a new understanding for the Pentanath has no ending and its story is still unfolding. Come if you have eyes to see; speak if you have a voice to be heard; hear if you dare...
I am the Pentanath, the Sickle, the Herder, and I have brought them together to this place, and now am set as a reminder to all that I exist to keep the tales of the deeds of the Children of Illuvatar so that others shall remember that once they passed this way. I am no myth or legend, for I exist and shall do so until the Powers of the World are spent. To me come all the stories that are, were and shall be. And I keep them until you have need of them, to remember, to sing the song you were first given when the world was young and still unmarred and have since forgotten.
I give them to you now, Tirn o Eressea, bind them in a great book so that their story is not lost. Hear first, Tirn o Eressea, the story of the curse of Melkor:
...And so it was from old that Melkor, who is also called Morgoth, spake a dark curse upon the line of Hurin, until the end of time; a curse that was to ravage an entire House of Men, the guilty and the innocent alike, for neither man, woman or child was spared. Full of malice and hate were the words spoken by the Deceiver whom is called Melkor of old, which was to endure even unto the fading of the world. Forgotten by many were the words uttered, but I am the Pentanath and I hold them...heed then and understand the curse, for so it says:
'Behold! The shadow of my thought shall lie upon them wherever they go, and my hate shall pursue them to the ends of the world.'
And though Melkor's curse came to pass until the House of Hurin and his line were no more, still was the creator watching, for long is the arm of Eru-Illuvatar, whose Song is yet unfolding upon the world. And he gave upon Melkor a warning, which was to serve as a hope for Men and Elves though few understand its meaning and fewer still known whence shall its time be:
Read and hearken to the Promise of Eru-Illuvatar...
'...thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.'
And so here begins the beginning, which is called of old the Dagor Dagorath - the Final Battle.
Terrible was that day, when Melkor arose anew to wreck his vengance upon the Elves and the Valar for utter desolation followed upon his wake. And on that day were the Children of Illuvatar caught unawares; but for their defense was restored the line of Hurin and the Swordsman of the Valar. Then did the Valar descend from their mountain halls, arise from the ocean depths, leave their garden-dwellings and soar down from their eyries. With them came a force unheralded and unknown, led by the Sickle of the Valar, he whom has watched, learned, listened; one who has walked within the Halls of Mandos and the Marred World. He gathered them as a laborer gathers his best crop, and then brought them forth to the utter ruin of evil. But some did fall, destined to leave the world forever, though they shall sing a new song.
Heed then these words spoken from ancient times and understand them so that you may know your part in the unfolding events of the world.
"Do not despair, for hope there is and much yet has to pass before the will of Eru-Illuvatar is made known and the shadows dissipate forever. For though they know it not, even shadow serves the will of Eru. And if you seek me, then I await you. Whence you come from makes no matter, I am here; I am he who once lived and walked amongst you. Seek me in the lands that once were dark and no more know shadow, for there shall ye find me."
And so he came unto me, the Pentanath, in dreams and in visions. He came to me in the air and in the waters of the oceans. I saw him in the leaves of the trees that swayed upon the sweet breezes of Tol Eressea. A fair and sparkling countenance of one whom the frost of time had not touched, though there were stars in his eyes. And in his hair there were strands of gold and silver and upon him there was wisdom and knowledge.
I sought him, thinking myself mad, for in dreams did he show me the way. And I, the one he called Tirn o Eressea, the Watcher of Tol Eressea, came upon the Pentanath, whom of old I had once called father though I knew him not. From him I learned the great story told within the pages of this book, which he bade me keep in secret for the story cannot be understood until all is told...until all is come to pass...
For remember that much is still to come, and not all is yet done...still shall all the roads be opened and a new song will be sung, though when this shall come to pass not even the Pentanath knows...
...Not even the Valar know...
