'Tell no one'" she had said. With the last of her conscious breath, she had laid the weight of a promise on me. I could not speak with Lelyar, or even with the Lady Danel concerning what I had witnessed. In frustration I walked the gardens; my intention to throw the token I held into the river.

What is best for the Lady? Without her being able to tell us, I must decide the path to take. Do I inquire after the next ship to sail, or do we return her to Tum Escal, and the Halls of the House? If Curumaito is correct we may just possibly see her recover. Yet we know there is healing in Aman. 

She has been away since before the snows came. The year has turned now to bright warm days, even as the news from the East, such as it is, grows ever more grim.

I would that the Lady returned soon to us. But she is not one to be constrained by fear nor danger. She does as she wishes. It is not my place to do aught but advise her. Still do I, and others of her household, hope for her swift and safe return.
