Chapter 6


I sit here writing this instead of joining the others in my patrol around the fire. I cannot join them this eve; my heart is too heavy to join in their merriment. Today, we met a band of Orcs. A poison arrow injured Celeg, a fellow guardian, and when he fell, I ran to save him. I had no care for myself; actually, I seemed to go mad. I viciously slaughtered the orcs, miraculously remaining unscathed, for I had no thoughts for my own safety. All I could see was my tiny daughter crying for her ada and nana when the nightmares came upon her.

I have been distracted much as of late. The reality of my beloved's operation and the fear that grips my heart has left me preoccupied. My captain understands, but since I jeopardized the safety of not only myself, but also my fellow guards today, I know he will go to Lord Glorfindel and I fear for my position. I cannot blame him. I have seen elves slaughtered due to one member of the patrol being distracted and could not live with myself if I caused the same. I will accept Lord Glorfindel's ruling, for I know that he is fair and will treat me justly.

I just want to return to my beloved and my daughter and hold them in my arms. I want to know that they are well. I need to have them close to feel at peace. My fear grows with each passing day and I dread the day of the operation and the shadow that hangs over it. I must go now. I am called to stand watch. I will add more when next we stop for the night however.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My captain ordered me to remain at his side today. I know that he fears to put me in my usual position of scout. I ache to do my duty, yet I understand why I may not do so. We encountered orcs once again, yet I was held back, only allowed to shoot arrows, not approach close enough to use the blades upon my back, with which I am most proficient. I have only been bested by one in the use of the twin blades in hand-to-hand combat and that is the Prince of Mirkwood. He is a great warrior, whose skill with both knives and bow are unequaled by none save Lord Glorfindel himself, so I feel no shame from my loss.

None were injured this day and so I feel relief, yet I am saddened by the looks of pity given me by my fellow guards. All know why I have been removed from my position of scout and though they say nothing to me, I have heard the whispers saying that I am unmanned by my love. This has angered me, yet I dare do nothing about it. I wish Carthôlion was at my side so I could tell him my fears.

The cry has just been given that the borders have been reached. I will soon be in his arms once again. I would urge my horse into a gallop if I da I I must remain with my companions, however and fight down the feelings of urgency to stay with my patrol. Soon, very soon, I will see my beloved and my heart rejoices. I can feel his nearness. I know that souls unbound should not be able to feel this, yet I can.
