Malliel's Diary: Entry 1



The Elvish writing is neatly presented. Not one error has been made.

I knew my life would change once I left Lothlorien. Never did I suspect it would change how it has! Just a short time after arriving in Eriador, I have found someone who brings me utter joy. I still cannot believe this is reality!

I was wandering around Celondim, I ventured up the steps of a pavillion where vendors sold their wares. I heard someone cry out, as if hurt. I turned around, to find that a person had injured themself upon an arrow. Nothing too serious, a prick on the finger. The figure was tall, strong-looking, wearing what looked like attire of a hunter. They wore a hood and mask, concealing most of their face. I asked if they were alright. Then, it happened...

They removed their hood and mask. I can remember the moment well. Upon gazing at his face, my heart sang to me - a most sweetest song. My goodness, he is handsome! Nothing else existed for quite a few moments. My heart pounded, my cheeks flushed. Surely he must have noticed.

It was love at first sight. This may sound like folly, but it must be true for my heart feels it. Never have I felt for someone, the way I do for him. We spoke a little, but our actions ruled our hearts. We may have been a little too... enthusiastic. Nevertheless, I love him deeply. I hope he knows this. I know he loves me for he tells me so, and shows me so.

He is not only my love, but my leader. Of course, duty shall come first. Our love will keep us strong. It will be an honour to fight against evil with my most beloved.

He sent me a beautiful gift. A hand mirror. I shall treasure it for eternity, like I shall treasure him.

Andarne; ce i velethron cuil nîn.
