Enjoying a moment



The sun stood high over the plains in the West March, home..so much she had missed it, Lengdiel was back for a short time and with her her son who now sees the rolling hills and meadows of golden hay for the first time, having only heard them in tales by his mother..


Lengdiel and her son wandered over the meadow just outside the village she was born in, how she had missed this place she thought for herself as they walked, but being a five year old boy you cant walk with you mother so Matthias started to run after a while and Lengdiel let his hand go, enjoying to see her son running along laughing and enjoying the lands of his mothers home, after all all he has known so far she thought, is Bree land and the surroundings there. 

Gone is her worries, her agony over her lost husband, not a word nor a tear she had shed since last she had written in her diary and she was feeling good again, perhaps this what was she needed, to see her heritage, her homeland, who knows she thought, perhaps there might be a new start in life here for us. She was quickly dragged out her thoughts by Matthias asking "Ma..yo see happy now.." the boy grinned up to her as he ran off to another soft laugh from his mother as she watched him. She knew that the day would soon come when she had to go back to Bree..after all that was their home now, she had been handed over a small company and with that a large house as well.

The day seemed to creep slowly as the two spent the day out on the meadow, enjoying the time together as mother and son. Lengdiel had another surprise in store for her son but he had to wait until the evening or perhaps to the day after but she was smiling for herself because he had earned the gift, a pony, his own that he could ride on, as he used to be with his aunt  Fengdiel in the woods, riding around.

The day soon turned to night and Matthias go his pony, a much happier boy was hard to find that evening, he jumped up and down for a long time and when it was time to go to sleep he poofed away and before Lengdiel had a chance to tell him his bedtime story she had promised him earlier the day he had fallen asleep. Lengdiel stood up and looked at him and smiled, out there somewhere there might be someone that could be as a father for him she thought and smiled and headed to her own room and laied down on the bed and fell asleep.

The following days were much the same, Matthias spent them riding his pony while Lengdiel looked at him and cheered him on and after a few days they returned back home to Bree
