Katrandil

After a couple of hours the rowing was done and the travellers reached the Men Erain. The woman knew that the path towards the ancient city will be a dangerous one. They pulled the boat out of the water then looked at each other in silence. Katrandil knew that they are waiting for her to lead the way but she just stood here for a long moment, catching the views of the Great Lake. Then she finally proceeded, leading them though Men Erain towards the Eastern Gate of Annuminas. 

And they rested for the night, which was the most peaceful one they head during the journey. The Forngarmo woke up early and walked downstairs, then outside. The day was beautiful. She sat down on the stairs and listened to the sounds of nature. She also was observed by the rangers standing nearby. She knew that she came here with an unusual companions but anyway, they were no threat for those living here. She just stayed there, lost in her thoughts and soon seen the others in the doorway.

So here I am, Tinnudir after all those years. This place means much to me as this is the only place I really call home. It might be weird for a traveller like me to call 'a town' home but I was born here. Many years passed since I last have seen the Nenuial Lake and walked these paths. Yet I have no time to enjoy it all. We will leave this town in the morning and sail towards the ancient city of Annuminas. So many things to do and not enough time for anything. It makes me sad but I know that someday I will return and settle down in these lands.

The rest of the night was calm and passed fastly as nothing was disturbing the travellers in their rest. Forngarmo woke up after some hours and spotted the hobbit and elf still by the fire. She stretched herself and walked out of the tent, lookng towards the other one, where Gondorn was still sleeping. Then the woman moved to the fire and grabbed a piece of meat from it. She then began to eat it. 

The man indeed came out to be Gondorn, one of the ones friends. H has joined the group and they moved again towards the Evendim. And as they moved the surroundings were starting to become less foggy. Soon the road to Evendim was visible before the four, and so were the ghosts 'guarding' it. Both Katrandil and Ornessar 'killed' the evil guardians off then the travellers finally moved towards Evendim.

The woman sits in silence in her room, stopping herself from bursting in tears. She takes a piece of parchment and starts writing up her feelings. 

I was so happy to have you back,

But you left me again and I feel that lack.

Of you, of the things we used to do

You know, my sister, my love was true.

I am left alone in the darkness again,

All of good things faded so what will remain?

The world, so cruel to set us apart,

The pain, that now fills my whole heart,
