Darkness
......... For 3000 years I slept............
We had fought ....a seemingly endless battle .......many had been lost ...... even my ... King ...Those eyes burned into my soul .....and then .... nothing but the darkness of a spiralling void until ....... familiar voices and faces greeted me. Cutting through the fog of a thousand fitfull nightmares. I woke, gasping and clawing at sheets lost in confusion for moments ....... he....where... was he even ........? So many questions remained unanswered .......
"are you ready Isil..." the voice of my old friend shook me out of my daydream... a dream? ....A nightmare I cannot shake .......
I had spent the weeks since I first opened my eyes here in Imladris. Elrond's haven of peace, healing and tranquility. The unwavering companionship of Elrond and Harthalin as I Slowly I pieced together the stories of my past.... the fate of my king .....our kins .... through the pain of shattered memories....... our bonds of friendship forged through the ages.....unbreakable......
"I'm ready" a slow nod as I held his gaze. Many words unsaid flowing between us, left hanging in the air.
With a soft smile I took a step towards Elladan and Elrohir, their energy bright, youthful, eyes full of a hundred questions. There would be plenty of time for those on the long journey to .... what had he called it.... 'Celondin' .
"Isil?" I paused and turned my gaze back to him, Elrond, my brother in arms, my childhood companion, my oldest friend "Baren bar lin. Sílo Anor bo men lín."
"Na-den pedim ad, No i Melain na le" I smiled as I reached back for his hand. "farewell .... for now" almost a whisper as I released his hand and continued towards his sons who were waiting for me.
Out there.......... somewhere my family my parents and my twin..........And maybe .............
The world has changed and so Have I..........
