The Scholar: Feelings of a woman.



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 looked at the woman hopefully. "I am Gwathrian Thanduil, a Scholar of Minas Tirith. Who you might be, Miss?" - I introduced myself and asked the woman. She didn't look like any of the soldiers. The woman bowed with her head. "I am Nyraewyn Sulyvahn, guard, warrior, mender and ranger from Dol Amroth." - She then answered, helmet hid most of her face but greyshaded blue eyes was what I saw. "I know Thanduil family. And of course you may enter." - She said then stepped aside. I kept looking at her. "Ah, I have heard about you and it seems that you are the one I came here to meet..." - I said calmly.
"Meet me?" - Nyraewyn's tone seemed surprised.I then pulled my hood down and looked at her. "I am the mother of those four... I have heard about many people. But you seem to be already a good friend of my sons and so I needed to talk with any other woman as I am the only one left in our family..." - I said with a concerned tone.
Nyraewyn slightly squinted her forehead. She seemed to not like what she just heard and yet remained calm and worried at the same time. "They send your husband too?" - She then asked me. I shook my head. "No... he is already retired but I always think that a woman can understand another woman better.." - I then said. We talked for hours that day and afterwards I was definitely more calm. I have stayed there for the night then travelled back home.
