Memories: Sudden Flame.

I remember!

It was winter. My father and I had stood on the balcony of our house, cloaks wrapped about us, intending to watch the stars for a short time. But it was a moonless and nigh starless night, as if another, darker, cloak was thrown across the sky. He put an arm on my shoulder. 

"It reminds me of somewhere..."

..said Estarfin.

Danel remained silent, knowing only too well the place Estarfin meant. Was it not her intent to visit here partly for that reason?

"Menegroth," the warrior stated as he leant forward.

Danel simply repeated the name, but she though 'Aye, Menegroth, place of the Second Kinslaying. And so we begin.'

At the Doors of Felegoth

Danel's plan appears to involve a visit to the halls of King Thranduil. Estarfin says little to start with, and she is the one who speaks with the guards they encounter. At least there are none of the Race of Men in Felegoth, or Northern Mirkwood, it seems. 

Over the Hithaeglir

We travelled over the Hithaeglir, it not being particularly bad weather, nor their being any reports in Imladris of troubles outside the known goblin areas. I did not want a repeat of the last time Estarfin and I had been in that place.

We rode steadily, until we came to the paved bridge that led to the North High Pass. Estarfin dismounted, and walked close to the edge that, despite the swirling snow, the land below could partly be made out. 

So he stood for a short while, until I too dismounted, and walked to stand near him.

He needed answers. He needed some clarity, and so did I. What did I want from him?

Long Considered

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

Winter was coming to the valley, that much was clear by the crisp night air, and the increasingly fleeting hours of daylight. The brown, red and gold leaves had mostly fallen from the trees; only the pines still held onto their greenery in the face of the relentless march of the seasons.

 

Disproving an Adage?

So I sought out Lord Elrond, for who else was likely to have more knowledge of the matter? Estarfin has said he was no studier of history, and though I thought he underestimated his understanding, I also knew this matter was for me to research.

"Are we certain of the adage, 'There is no return to Cuivenen?" I asked the Master of Rivendell. 

He looked me straight in the eye.

"What is in your mind, Carnifinde? Surely we have enough pressing matters at hand, than to spend thought on what was lost to us in the First Age."

The Ruins of the Noldor.

Is everything we set hand or thought to brought only to ruin? Does that include ourselves? How long does the curse, the doom laid upon our folk reach? Is there ever forgiveness? 

Estarfin seems to believe he will never be forgiven for his part in two kinslayings. Danel has other ideas. 

"I would not call you a fool, but it is foolish to have hope" he says.

They both find solace in the stars.
