Letters to my Brother Pt. 7

Dear Brother, It is good to hear that you are safe in Bree. There are many men of upstanding reputation there. I will caution you on your vow. Those typically have a habit of coming to pass in a fairly ironic manner. Particularly, when made on a power of great evil in such times. It is good you chose a trade to engage in that will help to pass the time. I will...

Letters to My Brother Interlude 1

Swathed in billowing black cloaks in the shadow-blanketed room, a storm of darkness may well have surrounded Dullathaen.  He knelt down before a tall man on a small stool, a man closed like an iron chest, yet exposed as a sick animal.  He protected his identity with the shadow upon his face. “You say it is Eru’s will,” Dullathaen said quietly; he could...

Letters to My brother Pt. 6

Dearest Brother, To begin with, I am now in Bree.  For reasons I will not say, I am moving there for an indefinite period of time.   As of last, you knew of course that I would go to Bree, but at that time, it was a temporary arrangement.  That is no longer so. Perhaps, given the time and reason—and our meeting—I shall explain.  Do not worry, for father and...

Letters to my Brother Pt. 5

Dear Brother, As far as home and my departure are concerned there are no comparisons to Avorthal but enough of my departure. Yes, my mother is as skilled a minstrel as father is a champion so I hope his recovery will be swift. Senrathalion says he enjoyed working with you during your stay in Mirkwood but to keep practicing, as you will need it. At that time he...

Letters to my Brother Pt. 4

Arad, You tell me sorry news.  I am sorry for Avorthal, though I have not met him.  And I equally feel sorry for his father.  No man deserves to lose his only son and not know where he lies.  Funny, but such a scenario is familiar to me somehow. So, you have met Senrathalion?  I confess, I do not know the other one, but before father and your mother met, I...

Thank you so much for you reading...

Letters to my Brother Pt. 3

Dear Brother, The tidings of home bring me great joy though it may seem bizarre considering the strife I caused you. Now I wish I could come home and face that but that will be impossible. I can only bid you foul tidings and dark news. When I arrived in Celondim there was trouble stirring; a fortnight before I arrived Prince Avorthal had gone missing. It was...

Letters to my Brother Pt. 2

Dearest Brother, “Even though I have not been gone long”!  Curse it all, Arad, you took a century off my life with this foolish stunt of yours!  Vanishing in the middle of the night warrants far more than a letter, I believe.  Still, I was filled with relief to receive it last night.  I am further relieved to hear that you are safe. Were I with you, I would be...

Letters to my Brother Pt. 1

Jun 4, 2016

Dear Dullathaen, My brother, it is good to write to you, even though I have not been gone long. I have traveled to Ered Luin in the Blue Mountains. After a good deal of traveling I arrived at Celondim, the city of the great ships, and I met its master, the great Elf-lord Cirdan. Once I had been introduced to Lord Cirdan he sent me to my trainer. Now for the...
