Imladris

The afternoon air bore the slight chill of a spring that had not yet lengthened into the gracious warmth of summer. Somewhere nearby, the song of a lark floated from a shadowed glade as Uilossiel made her way along the well-worn path. Brushing away a stray lock of dark hair blown by the gentle breeze, she drew her warm cloak about her shoulders.

Humming contentedly to herself, Uilossiel dipped her quill in the inkpot and began to write. She sat at her finely carved oak desk, gazing from time to time out of the window which overlooked the valley. Since she had returned to Imladris from Lindon, she felt complete somehow, as if there was a piece of her that had always remained in the Valley and had just slid back into place.

Aldúya, the 46th day of Tuilë, year 3008 of the Third Age.

She sat by the fire, in silence, the hall behind her quiet.  Alkawen often sat on the bench by the fire in Elrond's House East of the Sea.  It had become a ritual of sorts for her, a return to the familiar one might say.  Gazing into the flames was warmth and a comfort.  This evening, however, there were more in the fire than dances of flames. 

The following is a small scroll newly placed upon the Shelves of the Scholar's Stair. The Author you may not have heard of as anyone staying in Bree-town at this time, though the name is clearly Elvish. The hand-writing is neat with a quill-pen on parchment.
