Anglachelm

       "..Beyond all danger and cruelty of the world, Falathlorn was having a serene morning... Battles, fires and the darkness of the enemy were still far away. Goblins were pushed back to their holes long ago. Travellers and free peoples could be able to pass through the great eastern road without harassment. Awakening of evil in the east was a distant rumour, and the black riders were nothing more than a tale for its inhabitants.

Soft strains of harp music escaped from the Hall of Fire as the door opened and closed with the arrival of each new soul. Inanneth purposely did not look in as she passed. While it was probable that whichever of her kinsmen were in Rivendell at the moment would be amongst the crowd, she knew Anglachelm was not part of the gathering. Miluiwen had already inquired and apparently the Noldo lord had not been seen since the night of his arrival. None had seen him leave the valley, however none seemed to know of his whereabouts either. And to be honest, this suited Inanneth just fine.

Dear Father, Recent events in my life have taken their toll on me, through no bad intention I have badly let down my Lord Veryacano, a journey of great importance to him did not fair well and to a greater extent it was my own doing. I had pleaded with him that my intentions were motivated for the good nevertheless I have failed him. His anger has burned and now my punishment lingers..

The one whom I love Lady Amorith, I have been instructed for now not to see, my heart longs to see her but I must obey my Lord.

The moon was full and hung low in the sky the night Anglachelm left Falathorn. Ina watched it for long moments from her front garden, listening to the gentle sound of the river as it tumbled past her house. Somewhere, not yet too far, he was traveling under that same moon. The thought of that should bring her comfort, and maybe it would one day, but now. Not yet. Her grief was still to raw.
