Ai, what is this? Have I come at last to the Halls of Waiting?

All men ask that and it never can be known.

Aye, but I am not a Man.

No, but a man no less.

Aye, perhaps that we share.

But I remember not falling in battle. I should not think being slain would be so painless as to disappear so quickly from memory.

Then it stands to reason you are not dead.

If that is so, then what is this place, and how have I come to be here?

The in between. I don't have answers and neither does anyone else.

I see.

Is there war here?

No, but there are monsters.

Such has every world, whether in truth or in our hearts.

But at home, there will be no more peace. The Siege is broken and hope fails.

I have no words of comfort. You cannot hope to change it now, whatever comes to pass.

I doubt not that I will fall in this battle, but I do not fear it.

Forgive my manners, I am Aikanáro, or Aegnor in the Sindarin tongue.

That is a dark name.

But appropriate.

From which house of the Edain do you come?

None. I am the Son of Umarth.

You are a dark enigma. But if you wish to hold your secrets, I will not press. We all have those things which we prefer to keep to ourselves.

I am weary. Is there a place for rest here?

There has been little time for such since my brothers and I set off from Nargothrond.

There is. You mentioned battle; which was it?

I know not what it will be called, or if any will be left to name it. It is 455 years since the rising of the sun, and the Siege of Angband has broken.

I know it. Rest.

I will. We shall speak again when I am rested?

If we are fortunate. Don't hold to hope.

Ai, but hope is sometimes all that stands by us.

It's a kidnapping island we like to call Neverland. I'm not sure what the Halls of Waiting are, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it.

It is the place where my people go when we are slain, or die from grief. But yes, I have been told that it is not this place.

But nay, it does not matter. My war is not here; perhaps this is a respite from my sorrow.

I hope so. Someone needs to Dying from grief is a rather rough way to go. Though I could see it ha

Aye lady, but usually what brings you to grief is more painful than the dying itself.

But I shall not die, not in this way.

What are you called, my lady? I am Aikanáro, or Aegnor in the Sindarin tongue.

Oh, believe me, I know.

That's good to know.

I am Maryanne, I'll have to have you say that out loud for me eventually. It looks like it would sound pretty.

Perhaps, my language does sound lovely, I think.

It is nice to meet you, Maryanne.

There's nothing elegant about my name, no matter how you say it.

It's my pleasure entirely Aikanáro
