Nyraewyn

I came off the ship as I got to the island then followed the way up the stairs slowly in silence not seeing anyone around. I walked towards the palace in silence. As I approached the door I had spotted someone by the doors. "Well met..." - I just said towards the figure. The woman wielded warden shield, javelin on backstraps, sword and spear on her hands. "Well met, and who are you? Not seen you here before." - She spoke clearly standing directly on the doorway slightly blocking the entrance.

I have been through much since I have returned as a survivor. I've lost my family and almost lost myself. That sight will haunt me until my death. My wife... lying on the ground, broken. I loved her so much. Why did life took her from me so early? I was broken, so broken... I felt the pain filling all of me. But I didn't know that it will get stronger as I'll enter another room. Aranor, my son... my only son was lying there in a pool of blood. He was so young. The small sword still in his hand. I won't ever forget that sight. It pains me until this day. 

The next day came very fast. I grabbed one of my spare armours that I was going to dispose after the task. The time has come. And soon enough I was riding into the battle with invisible enemy. The Operation Black Death. I was feeling awful after the events of yesterday and worse things were ahead of me still. Soon we approached the village gate and The Major ordered us to make a line and so we did. He started to assign people into groups. I knew that my task will take a lot of effort from me but even more from those who will come with me.

I ventured out as soon as the meeting ended and proceeded towards the docks to have a rest. I was wondering if I should go back to Dol Amroth or just wait until the operation starts. I ventured too close to the edge which ended for me falling into the water. I had no trouble with swimming but never did it while wearing the heavy armour so I was sinking fast like a stone before I saw someone jumping after me and felt a hand under my shoulders. We swam that way towards the ship and then I recognized the person that helped me come onboard.

Couple of days later I was again returning to the island to take on my duties. There was one very important task that awaited me and the others. I remember every single thing they told me about it. And so I left Velam behind as well as Dol Amroth and came ashore on our island just a few hours later. I went straight towards the hall. Then I spotted her standing there. Nyraewyn has come to the meeting as well and I was really glad to see her. I was a bit lost in my thoughts but we just continued walking towards the hall together and then joined the meeting.

We followed the Major once again so no one could hear our conversation. We remained silent on the way as it seemed the best options with the Major's hard temper. She must've been a really tough person after all if people were just going away from her way. Finally, we stopped by the bay. "Here can talk. Speak!" - She then said hardly towards us as she looked at us with folded arms. I did not like that attitude at all. The respect should be for both sides, not for one!

As soon as I was done with my watch I decided to go for a walk and use the good weather. I moved through the throne room and then through barracks encountering Captain Nirna enjoying her rest as well. She's really a nice person. Always seeming so caring and kind to the others even though she is a really good warrior. I hope to fight by her side someday. That would be a great honour to just a humble Citadel Guard like me. We exchanged a few words and then I just ventured away to spend some time alone by the docks.

After the events transpired with Nethirien I've been left alone by the table as Ridvay and Naerhad went out somewhere. My love went outside for some reason but I trust her enough to let her handle her own issues by herself if she doesn't want me around for some reasons. However we were supposed to have a drink with Nyraewyn. And that's why I've been waiting alone. She came into the room not long after carrying the bottle of wine. "Welcome back.." - I said as she set the bottle on the table.
