Self Notes 16 - The Letter



He just sent me a note and left long before I’ve read it…

Without a goodbye... without an explanation... Just telling that he has to travel Frochel in a haste..

Why did he do that? I’m sure he would say to keep me safe…

But is it true?

Is it protecting the one you care? Leaving her behind…

There must be something behind this... something important or even dangerous...

Why are you carrying the heavy burden in your heart all alone?

Or maybe he finds me too weak to let me know about it all…

To take me along with him…

But what am I going to do now? Shall I sit back and wait in this darkness for his return like he wanted me to do… trying to enjoy my days in Imladris or lock myself in my room worrying about him, sleeping with nightmares? I simply can’t do that…

I have travelled alone many times in those lands before I met him…. before that unfortunate incident happened to me which has been causing me not to leave the borders of Imladris for a time… But now there is something bigger than my fear. I fear more to see if something happens to him.

I do not wish to cause him trouble… I know he is strong and talented but… but I won’t be me if I just wait. He should have known me better than that… that I’m not just a doll you can lock into a cabinet and watch…
