While I was in town yesterday, I discovered a series of books that are pertinent to my people. I would like very much if the people from my world would read them, but I would also like to offer them to those from different places.

They tell the story and tragedy of my people, and all the griefs we have suffered. They are not an easy read - indeed, they are quite a painful one - and yet they explain our sorrows and hearts better than anything else ever could.

Please, let me know if you are interested. I think it would be a good way to start a conversation between the different peoples of the island.

	You read them? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, and I wept. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I never could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is one of the very saddest things I've ever done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Why would you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Because I wished to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're not an accurate representation of our struggle, mother. They're forms of entertainment that tell only half the story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I dare not ask you for the true tale, my son. I have no wish to cause you pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 02:39 am UTC (link)
	And yet I would rather speak of it than have you read it in a book. A book none of us had a hand in writing. Indeed, they're a collection of stories. Histories as remembered by others. Did you note Fingon had a son? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was...hopeful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 02:52 am UTC (link)
	No, he doesn't. He loves Maitimo and that will never change. Pity you Maitimo now that you know his pains? Nay I think not. And you should not expect them to either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 02:53 am UTC (link)
	I am sorry that Maitimo suffered so. I would not wish that on anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Surely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 02:56 am UTC (link)
	But it was also not a grief of which he was entirely innocent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Of course not. Think I pity him? Nay. I hate him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Even now that Elenwë is with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Always. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 03:10 am UTC (link)
	It isn't your concern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I am your mother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 03:12 am UTC (link)
	I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 03:12 am UTC (link)
	What concerns you also concerns me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 03:13 am UTC (link)
	I have learned to live without you, mother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-06-25 03:14 am UTC (link)
	And still you are my son, and I love you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-06-25 03:16 am UTC (link)
	I love you too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
