To Mother and Father



An envelope delivered to Gondor, with a wax seal closing it. It was tilted, 'To Iorlas and Ivorwen of Gondor'.

 

Dear Mother and Father,

 

It is I, Hiath, your son, writing with news. Though first, I thought I had best let you know that I am doing well and healthy. I have met many new faces, seen many new sights and have learned many things over the ten years I have been gone. I have travelled through the plains of Rohan, all the way up to the Misty Mountains to the North of our home. Currently, I am residing in Bree with the one I love.

 

To start with, I shall talk about her. Her name is Briannon Whitrose, a beautiful woman who I met at the borders of the Shire when a chance encounter led her to my camp. From that day, we travelled together to wonderful places.I have been living with her in her cottage, near a lake. Recently, I asked her to be my wife and the wedding shall be soon, my apologies for not having it in Gondor where you are..

 

Onto some more news, that again involves Briannon. She is with child, my child. The healers have said she is all healthy, and when the babe arrives it too should be healthy. We have decided, that the babe shall be born in Gondor. After the wedding, we shall be going down the Greenway to Tharbad before to Lond Daer. We then shall sail to Dol Amroth upon a trade ship, before we come to Morlad to see you and grandmother and grandfather.

 

Expect us in a couple of months after this letter arrives.

 

Until we meet soon,

Hiath II of Gondor
