 | As duty has called me to do; I left for the homeland some weeks ago. I parted from Malliel at the gathering which Nimlith, who has offered to assist the child my wife now bears, into the world, was hosting. Now, I stand ready and waiting. For Rasheke, Tinuvinil and Halpendor, friends and kin alike, will join me in this errand. Should they have need to leave, I will grant it. The dark of Mirkwood lingers, and fear gnaws at me. But I will not falter! I will return, my duty completed; to my wife, and child. It is time. |
