The diary of Ithilwien - June 14th



[Shaky handwriting]

 

I failed him... I wasn't there to prevent this. I wasn't there to keep him safe.

Craign has been killed by my brothers hands, in defence of Naurlith. As revenge a massive group of his men came back, demanding my brother to give in to them. There must have been at least 20 of them, stood outside, against me and Kelinor as we stepped out. But... Albillion tried to escape the house, I think, and got caught...

His body is in Caers house now. I had to go, had to get away, despite the fact that I promised father to stay here, to stay safe. But I went to Bree, where Ostui attempted to drag me to prison, a man started questioning me and Zuwyn and later on a woman about the Legion and the Knights. I ended up just leaving. I couldn't take it. I should go back to Caers house, but I don't think I can take it. Especually not if I'm alone...

I don't know what to do... I failed him. I gave my entire life up to protect my brother, and I failed him. Now what have I got left? A life of hiding and being used as information source?
I wish I had never left home...
