A Letter from Aranuir to Radawen



Dear Radawen,

come out of there right away! Come home, come back to Minas Tirith. Start packing the minute you receive this letter and leave Imloth Melui immediately! Please forgive me that I have lied to you, I have kept things from you, but I can’t explain it now. Not in this letter. I will explain everything in person when I see you again. Please just believe me when I say that you are in grave danger in Imloth Melui. It’s all my fault, I got you into this, I should have explained you what’s going on, I never should have allowed you to leave in the first place, but I never expected the situation to turn out this bad…

Dear Radawen, I love you. I know that I am an old and ugly man, and I never expect you to respond to my feelings for you. You can hate me if you want to, I can live with that. But I couldn’t bare to see you die, not when the fault would be partly mine. I can’t allow it to happen. So please just trust this old and ugly man, just this once, and leave! Run! Start packing when you read this letter, even if it’s in the middle of the night, and come home! I have connections, I can take care of you here in Minas Tirith, I can protect you…

The most important thing is that you should not stay in your room for a minute longer. They are in Imloth Melui, they must know where you live and they are coming for you…

Will you do as I ask you, dear Radawen? Please?

Sincerely,

Aranuir
