I had hoped that when I departed New York it might be to return to Gondolin. But I see that fate would not have it be so.

Less this is all that remains of my city. As she will indeed be consigned to the sea.

	Not the first, cousin? Do the dead often rise in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you believe me? I have seen my oldest brother, and Fëanor himself, come back from the dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fell news! Where have you seen such things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In a strange place called New York. In a land known as America. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know naught of it. How did you come to be there, from Gondolin? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a blue light, rather like a Silmaril, in my dream and I reached for it. There was so much pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ai! But you are alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-19 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, aye, I have been in worse situations before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is long since I have seen you, cousin. You disappeared, and none of us knew whither you had gone, from Vinyamar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-19 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, and whither did I go but away? To the mountains. Ulmo bade me go, and so go I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And faded into legend! The Hidden City of Gondolin! How I would have liked to see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Many would, it's true. But that is not now possible, I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nor was it then, but I lament it nonetheless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-19 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, that was how it must be. For that I am sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aikanaro 2013-04-19 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Do not be sorry. You did what you did to keep your people safe, and that is honorable. My brother did much the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-19 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	That is what I tell myself. But surely not what anyone thinks. Thank you though, for your faith. (Reply to this) (Parent)
