Finally the letter she had been waiting for and also dreading slightly had arrived, she quickly skimmed over it and noted the name at the bottom, worry now took her as she reread the details.
Addressed to Filrean Gwathir,
Your letter for Captain Tarmagiel has found its way upon myself, to which this cause has now become a matter most serious. Your course of action is close to being of an insubordinate nature, though we are not of the military strength we once were you are to be held accountable for such.
I personally knew your uncle and though I am pleased to see you true to the pride of our people, despite your direct ancestors choosing to remain within southern Gondor, it is such pride that has often been our downfall. You are yet still young and so I shall afford you this digression on these premises.
Yourself and your mentor as you name him, Amlarad, shall attend to me here at Annuminas where you will join in our defence for no less than three cycles of the daystar. During such time you will stand post at two of our most strategic points and hold back any advancements made. After such time I shall hear from my men if they deem you as competent as you believe yourself to be.
*Swiftly signed*
Captain General Daerdan
She slowly folded the letter up and placed it within a pouch on her belt, her thoughts in several places at once. How would Amlarad take to this? Was her main thought, for the first time she feared speaking to him.
