Greetings.

The sun is bright and warm here, and I have rested well. I should now like to have some questions answered, if there are any here with the wisdom to do so.

I am called Findekáno. I am the eldest son of Ñolofinwë, grandson of Finwë, and I am the High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. As I stood on the battlefield prior to arriving here, I am grieved and concerned at what may befall my men in my absence. How do I return? What fell power has brought me here?

Edit: I am told that I may be better known by my Sindarin name, Fingon, and my father by his, Fingolfin.

	The histories record our Sindarin names, brother. Use them as they're easier to reference, and it's unlikely any know who we are in Quenya. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ah. Grandfather is not given one, is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	No, he was not. This is a world of Men, brother, bear that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	A world of men? And yet you are here, and Itarillë, and Maitimo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	And my wife, and Aikanáro. But there are more Men besides. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Ai, Elenwë! But how is such thing possible? And Aikanáro! Has Mandos released us all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	No! As I said, I think it is the interim. We are neither living nor dead, brother, but exist in the space between. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What a strange thing. And it has brought you here from Gondolin? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A place called New York. The Valar set me forth in time to a world of Men, and I assume released me here when my purpose there was finished. It is a time of waiting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	But waiting with your family. You must be overjoyed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish it were so easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	I am afraid I do not follow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'll not burden you so, I am sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Speak, brother! You are not a burden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Five hundred years separates us. It hasn't been easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. I see how that would be difficult. Your feelings for her have lessened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	No, but I have changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	And she does not like what you have become? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	No! I - It's difficult to accept such changes so quickly. I have no mind to explain. I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	Very well. Tell me only this. Do I count her still my sister? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, for eternity. That will never change, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findekano 2013-04-23 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Then all is well. You overthink things, brother. Relax. If you love her, love her. Don't worry about everything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ai, be at ease. Do not grieve yourself so over me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How can I not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turukáno \| Elenwë vanya_elenwe 2013-04-23 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Because it is not so bad as all that. We can be happy, Turukáno, even if things stay just as they are now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
