The Life after The Legion #1



 Thought I would begin a diary, something to keep me busy whilst I am in the wilds of this middle-earth.

Here it goes... I left Bree, left it for good, that is. After Albillion's death I could not bring myself to carry out that Elf's work any longer. Loor has ruined my life, and many others.

I still cannot get my head around the fact that I still am wondering about the current problems in Bree... with my friends, and my potential son or daughter? Would Ithilwien's... my, child, become under threat? I hope not... but then again, it is very unlikely I shall see Ithilwien again. She is in good hands, with Caer. Although, before I left Bree Caer was decent, and honest enough to explain his and Ithilwien's relationship to date. 

Shocked, I was very much so... but at the same time, I was glad. Ithilwien is a bright Elfling, and Caer is a respectable man. They shall do well together, I hope?

I have now reached Eregion. It isn't all that bad, I've found work as a weaponsmith, my old profession I had when I was in the Lone Lands, and Bree-land. Perhaps once I earn enough silver, I can buy some tools to craft my own hut in the wilds, to become my own master, and no one elses.

These past few nights in Eregion have been difficult, Every night when I lay down my smithing hammer, and roll open my sleeping bag, I begin to wonder; what next? What will this 'new life' have in store for me? I shall have to wait, like everybody else who hopes for a better life, in the mists of war.

I had forgotton that I still carry Loor's Crown with me, and his first book half... did I really forget to leave these behind? Or does my heart still wish to cling onto them... It is scarying me. When I look into Loor's Crown, just as I did last night before I fell asleep, it's outerbase was crusted with Khazad-Gold, and with rubies dotted along the middle of it. The top had an Elvish touch, with various different symbols meaning things... they are in different languages, I think? I don't even know what I'm doing..

I shall send Loor's Crown and first book half to Caer, it's the right thing to do, surely? Afterall... I did place a document in Caer's house, before I departed Bree. It was written by Loor, known as "his last document". It contains all the information Caer would need, to gain the second book-half, and who shall help him acquire it. I plead that he has followed it up, and met with Gloan.

It is rather late, so I shall... write again tomorrow?
