Nethillon

It is a late afternoon when Naerhad wakes up again. After his voluntary work he came home only to fall asleep almost instantly. The sun is already starting to set as the twilight shimmers through the windows of his home. He can't be sleeping all day. He may be old, but not that old. Naerhad tries to get up, but his body seems asleep still. Everything hurts but eventually he manages to get dressed. He proceeds downstairs and as he approaches the kitchen he hears a faint humming of a melancholy tune. He follows the music until he finds his wife, calmly preparing their lunch.

The training was done. I got allowed to leave as soon as I'll get a new unit for me. Soon I have learned that I will get to leave with my brother. We have came back home in Minas Tirith but our parents weren't really happy with us leaving so soon at age of 17.  

 Days kept passing by but soon enough I have returned back to the island. And there I have managed to meet her one, last time before the next task. That was the worst one I could ever get. But instead of worrying about it we just talked about her upcoming tasks that might have us separated for a long time. I nodded and looked at her. "Then both of us will be busy...Hopefully we will meet again after that time." - I said then calmly. She tapped the armrest with her finger. "I do not know how this all affects.

The next day I left for the main land to follow my path until my family house and then further into Middle-Earth. I took a rest near an abandoned house nearby when I heard a familiar voice. As I turned around I found out that my beloved ranger was standing there. I smiled at her for a brief moment and soon enough we started to talk about the abandoned property and soon coming onto the subject of my own family house. "I had a small one in Belfalas.." - I began looking down. The ranger came closer to me inspecting me visually.

The next day came very fast. I grabbed one of my spare armours that I was going to dispose after the task. The time has come. And soon enough I was riding into the battle with invisible enemy. The Operation Black Death. I was feeling awful after the events of yesterday and worse things were ahead of me still. Soon we approached the village gate and The Major ordered us to make a line and so we did. He started to assign people into groups. I knew that my task will take a lot of effort from me but even more from those who will come with me.

The day was passing by, but as it ended I've already seen too much for me to bear. My heart started to beat faster everytime I was thinking about someone. That was it for me, I needed to leave the island for others' sake. I was always able to meet them all on spot for tomorrow's mission. This was my last chance to do this before the task and probably last for the rest of my life. So it was decided. I was left with my last chance but also got a new friend that supported me with it.

I ventured out as soon as the meeting ended and proceeded towards the docks to have a rest. I was wondering if I should go back to Dol Amroth or just wait until the operation starts. I ventured too close to the edge which ended for me falling into the water. I had no trouble with swimming but never did it while wearing the heavy armour so I was sinking fast like a stone before I saw someone jumping after me and felt a hand under my shoulders. We swam that way towards the ship and then I recognized the person that helped me come onboard.
