The Valliant Heart: By the Bay of Belfalas



Finally I have come ashore in the Docks of Dol Amroth. But first of all I needed to see the place itself as I have never visited this part of Gondor before. Clad all in grey I ventured out into the wilderness. It was so nice that I finally got out of the heavy armour and all heavy weapons. I had only my sword with me and nothing more. All things that I took with me were left along my steed in the city. It felt like I had another, new life. Nothing could give me away, all signs of Gondorian heritage were gone and the face itself hidden behind a mask. I enjoyed the views of the sea and the singing of the birds. I felt the wind blowing through my leather armour and giving me a feeling of refreshment. I sat on the sand and just enjoyed the moment in silence and then focused on my goal. "I am here... what to do next?" - I wondered deep inside, right before I recalled Nyra's hints. "Find the Captain. I must find her..." - I then said to myself and had a long walk back to the City. There, I would continue my investigation. I arrived right before the night has fallen and looked for a place to stay. Gladly, the librarians let me stay in the library for the night. People there seemed wonderful and I really meant it. They didn't ask any questions. They were so helpful all along. That is until a guard has come to find the person someone has reported to him. He looked at me suspiciously. I didn't mean any harm here so I asked him for a more private talk. As he has agreed I explained him my case and he promised to help me find the commander. He then gave me something like a cover name. Mithalion, The Grey Hero - He called me. And so it all began for me in the new city. But as I kept saying I couldn't back off. There was no retreat. After the name got accepted all around the guards and City Leaders I took it as my own, second name. Next day was calm, spent on preparing for the next moves. I still wondered if Velam, The First Class Private got my letter. I wondered how it all turned out back home. And in meantime my preparations were done. And so my investigation began. I had to find the Captain.
