 | Still I grieve...I pretend not to, for the sake of those whom I call friends. They have been so kind to me, these long weeks... Will I ever find my wife, my Malliel? I do not know...many days I have spent in the lands of Elrond Halfelven, searching...tracking. What I found, I believe she...her body...lies within one of the many caves which are known to house the Olog-hai. I cannot be sure, though; but I have decided...I will not leave these lands with my son, to the West, until my wife's body has been given proper rites of funeral. Now I sit in the house we owned together...my son is with Eirien, she is so nice to him..I sit hither, in the firelight of a dark home...thinking of her whom I love forever. |
