I finally reached Rivendell since my last diary entry...yet I was postponed before my arrival as I happened to come across my friend Glanlotiel's younger brother Thalanil doigd what he apparently does best....cave exploring...much to his sister's dislike, so I yelled a bit on him and pulled him out of the cave and watched as he rode away somewhere around Rivendell...probably to stay sour for a while..
The evening fell and I found myself paying homage to my old King and leader Gil-galad. Well into the Hall of Fire in the last homely house I went..accidently wearing the house armour but after a rather quick change I attended the evening meeting there. Meeting old friends in Remnantus and stumbled upon an old friend..or well not friend anymore yet not for either in Sigfread, the man is still alive it seems though I have not heard nor seen him since the house held its tournament where I beat him in the archery contest. Old Re...it was too long since I spoke with him and spoke we did even while listening to music we spoke, making a new friend in a woman named Taala of the Bloody dawn as she got me to dance, first time in ages I have danced and I felt rather rusty at first but it all came back as we kept dancing. None the less every good thing has its end and so did the dance have but I am glad that i got the chance to spend a few minutes talking with her and I look forward to talking to her some day again.
Back to old Rem again and a man from the north. I do not remember his name but we stood beneath a statue of Gil-galad and I told this man about the War where elves and men fought side by side and where I fitted into that war. I must say he was rather amazed about it all, well anyway us three being me, Rem and this man took a walk outside where we talked about memories as we gazed upon the Bruinen until the man had to leave..leaving me and Rem to talk about things that have been, I told him about my capture..about this lady in the house who I am fond of but now no more than a friend and just as I was about to leave he challenged me for a spar fight, turning it down would have made dishonor to the house so I took it, he tested me..he knew and had seen in me that I fear death and darkness now, such I did not before. We fought a little while ending it when he had his wind knocked out of him and my sword pointing at him. He tested me there as I said. He told me to be me and get back to my post and cherish all around me and to be there for them when they do not have the strength....
