Túrin was very unlike Húrin, you know. I spoke to him little while he was here; taciturn and brooding as he is. He wanted little to do with us, and for that I forgive him. He is [...] not how I imagined him to be, if ever I imagined Húrin to beget a child.

Túrin lacked all of Húrin's joy and wonder at the world. I knew Húrin for only a year but it felt [...] well I felt as if I knew him completely. I loved them like sons, Húrin and Huor. I remember the day the eagles brought them into the Vale, the fear in their eyes combined with the strength of their hearts.

They looked upon Gondolin with all the wonder she deserved.

I remember also their parting, and then our reunion on the fields of Nirnaeth Arnoediad. I remember their last stand, giving their lives to see my people returned to the Vale.

And then to meet the flesh and bone of those brothers in this place!

It has been a dream.

I feel sad for Túrin, lost as he was to the world. I hope he found his peace.

But I suppose that that is indeed the nature of dreams. You must soon wake up and face your reality.

I regret that I did not know either Huor or Húrin. I regret that I missed so much of your life, and of our daughter's. It seems that Middle Earth was a place of sorrow and despair, and I am sorry that I was not there to ease your suffering.

And such words are so empty, I know, and yet still I feel them.

But this is not a dream, Turukáno. It is not all despair. Tuor lives, and our daughter is here, and we are together. Even in the face of such despair, there is happiness. And perhaps that happiness shines the brighter because there is such darkness. It is Eru's greatest gift.

Where are you, my love? I worry for you.

	Out and about, you need not worry. My father was looking for me and I thought to escape him before he found me. And there was as much beauty in Middle-earth as there was despair. Gondolin was beautiful, and peaceful. But outside the Vale there was chaos. I miss it some days, Nyara, but I am more glad to be here with you and our family than I want to go home.

	You know not how I wish, Sara, that I had not fallen on the Helcaraxë. I feel that I have missed so much of your life, and that so much has come between us. We will overcome it! Of that I have no doubt, but I wish I could have shared such important times with you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
