Our time has come, the Mithdirith is now mustering once again, and it is time to take our leave of the vale that has been a most welcome home for several months.
We have met several new faces within the vale and become reacquainted with old friends, most of us rested; some of us completed long overdue tasks.
A new face rides with us homeward bound, Feawing quite a meek Elleth and quietly spoken thus far, from what I understand she is skilled as a scout and tracker much as Hallothel. Twas good therefore to see them both getting along well on the journey back, they will no doubt work together more and more should Feawing decide the Flower to be where she will spend her final days before heading West.
We made good time, we encountered little or no trouble and kept ourselves distant from any known roads or paths, discreet haste was the requirement for this trip home. Hwethlenn did her part, I am now pushing her to her limits of endurance, she is nearing the end of her training and is learning well, my only concern is her attention to detail, or rather more the important details. This I think can be remedied, time will tell as always.
We all arrived safely at Thamas Lorn, in the coming few weeks we will gather and hear our orders for the new year, I have already met more new faces whom desire to serve the Flower. It will be a busy start to the year I think!
Finally, I have had time to spend with my Lady, Hallothel. Even in the Vale we had little time, but now we have seized the moments free, she brings me a peace I do not find anywhere else. We have spent many a night now reviewing recent events and discussing the here and now and what may come.
One thing is most certain to me more than ever now, she is the one.
