It has so happened, at last.
This night, beneath the stars of Ever-Eve, I saw my daughter for the first time. I was alone, giving birth to her, yet, I was not afraid, I know that even though I cannot see them, the Valar is with me. For the time I could not think of anything else or anyone else, for there I was, bringing life into this world, she had my full attention and the moment was us to share. And here we lay now, wrapped up in blankets, her and I. She is as I dreamt of her... her soul glows, her eyes are bright. She is so small, she is mine to love.
I know her name. I will give it to her when Melaveryende stands next to us again. Melaveryende, meleth nin.. You are a father...
I cannot help it, but I feel so very tired... inside.
