Makanare

The company of elves, led by Alcartano, an emissary of the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, next to a bridge that leads towards Caras Galadhon.

Although most part of the City of Trees is still hidden behind the many Mellyrn, a great light may be perceived from afar.

Beside the flowing waters named after the elf-maid Nimrodel, Makanárë and Annúngil share a few quiet moments of contemplation. 

"Tis said that, when Spring comes, Nimrodel's voice might be heard, echoing by the leaves. When the winds blows North from Belegaer, however, 'tis also said Amroth's voice sails over the Anduin in answer."

With the rising sun comes dawn of a new day, and likewise the dawn of a new era in the lives of Makanárë and those dear to her.

By evening, they have made camp under one of the telain bordering the Nimrodel. It is her first evening ever within the Golden Wood, and still Makanárë is unsure of how she finds this land. It is strange, and awakens memories within her she had thought long forgotten.

With the first sight of the golden mallorn-trees, Makanárë feels that the land they are about to enter will be different from any she has ever encountered before.

As they travel east, the slopes of the Hithaeglir become less bitter and the snow recedes. Descending the slope from the pass into Lothlórien, Makanárë knows not what to expect when she reaches the Golden Wood. But she has friends and kin beside her, as she faces the unknown.
