[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

A month later, the ship carrying Kelly sailed out of the port and headed for Aman Island in the west.

The war is over, but most of the elves still want to stay in Middle-earth and help rebuild.Almost none of the elves that Kelly knew was determined to stay, and they even discussed whether to choose someone to go to Aman with her to prove her contribution and achievements for her, in order to obtain Vera's grace ——However, in the end, this problem was also solved.Gandalf, who had just arrived in Middle-earth, offered to accompany her to Aman Island.

Kelly didn't get along with Gandalf much in the past. When she was not sending messages to each other, she stayed in Rivendell most of the time, while Gandalf was in Linton.However, getting along now, she found that he resembled Professor Dumbledore in many ways - not just the long snow-white hair and beard.He is erudite, kind and tolerant, and sometimes his behavior seems inexplicable, but he also has a kind of extraordinary wisdom with great insight.Therefore, they soon got along harmoniously and intimately.

The ship was at sea for more than a month.As they went westward, the water became bluer and clearer, and the surface became calm and gentle.In the last few days of the voyage, Kelly could even faintly see the fish swimming in the sea through the deep water, and even the fine sand and aquatic plants on the bottom of the sea.

On the 37th day of the boat trip, they arrived at the port.It was a pure land comparable to Narnia - Kelly had only seen such a pure and beautiful place in Narnia and here, and it was indeed a place that only the gods could create.Gemstones of various colors are scattered on the sandy beach of the port, the buildings on the shore are simple and elegant in style, and the faces of the elves gathered and waiting on the shore are also filled with gentle joy.One by one, the elves were embraced by relatives and friends after getting off the boat.Kylie and Gandalf got off the boat at the end. She was wearing a long gray cloak in the shape of an elf, and she used a simple spell to cover up the magic lines on her face. The dark atmosphere of the land is still incompatible with this land. The elves on the shore do not have such a keen sense of magic, but they also sense something wrong, and cast doubtful eyes.Gandalf led Kelly out of the crowd and in another direction.

"When we were on the boat earlier, the Eagle King sent a message." He said as he walked, "Manwe agreed to make an exception to allow you to enter Aman Continent, but he also said that the injury of the soul requires the brilliance of the Two Sacred Trees to cooperate with Nina Goddesses can be healed. Now that the Two Sacred Trees are dead, the wounded need to sleep in the garden of Isti for a long time. And your injury is too serious and the time is too short, and the Valars really have nothing to do. If you want to heal your Soul, Feanor must consent to the use of the Silmaril."

"Isn't the Silmarillion out of his hands?" Kelly asked.

"Yes, but he is still the maker of the Silmaril, and he alone knows how to use the power of the Silmaril," said Gandalf. "It will be the best choice if he agrees to help you. We Now, we are going to Mandos to find Feanor."

The Temple of Mandos is located on the west side of Aman, almost all the souls of dead elves will return there to be judged.Some of them will be resurrected by re-given flesh, such as Glorfindel.Other souls who committed mistakes and even crimes during their lifetime will remain in the Mandos Temple for a long time, and Feanor belongs to the latter.

When the ship arrived at the port, it was just dawn, and it was already morning when Kelly and Gandalf reached the gate of the Mandos Temple.There were two tall and heroic men standing at the door. Kelly thought they were gods, but after a closer look, she found that they were also elves.They greeted Gandalf as if they were very familiar, and Gandalf introduced them: "This is the friend of the elves, Kelly Cosmo. These two are Fingon and Elendil."

Fingon was the father of Gil-galad and ex-High King; Elendil was the father of Elrond and keeper of the last Silmaril.After Kylie greeted the two of them separately, Gandalf patted her on the shoulder with a smile and walked straight into the temple.

"He's going to meet Mandos first, explain the matter to him, and then ask Feynor's opinion—you can wait outside first, as your soul condition at this time probably isn't suitable for you to stay inside for a long time. explained Fingon with a smile, "we have heard of your deeds, and thank you for your help to the Elves."

"It's nothing." Kelly said, "It's not help, it's just cooperation—Gilgalad fought very bravely, and the Linton line he commanded was the main force against Sauron."

"There is no need to be modest," said Fingon. "I have heard that Gil-galad and the others have chosen to remain in Middle-earth. If you don't mind, can you tell me what they are doing now? Letters are not always so detailed."

In fact, most of the time Kylie spent with them was discussing the battle plan. If we talk about the current situation, it was also the battle against the orcs.However, as a mother herself, she can naturally know what she really wants to hear as a parent.She looked at the two concerned fathers, thought for a while, and smiled: "Gilgalad has to wait a little longer, but when I came back, Elrond seemed to have a sweetheart."

"Really?" Elendil asked in surprise and joy, "Who is it?"

"Lady Galadriel's daughter, Celebrian." Kelly said with a smile, "It seems that Elrond met her when Rivendell joined forces with Rose Lorraine, and it was love at first sight. .”

"What about her?"

"I can't say for sure. I'm not very familiar with Rose Lorraine. But I guess Celebrian likes him too." Kelly laughed.

She randomly picked some mild and interesting little things in life to talk about, such as Elrond's medical skills and collection of books, Gilgalad playing the piano himself at the celebration and so on.However, they didn't chat for long, and Gandalf came out and motioned for Kelly to go in.Kelly was a little surprised: "So fast?"

"The time of the soul is different from the time of the body," said Gandalf meaningfully.Elendil put a small velvet bag in her hand: "Go in, good luck."

Kelly thanked him, said goodbye to the three of them, went up the stairs, and stepped into the temple made of snow-white marble.

It was almost noon at this time, and the spring was warm outside, but as soon as he stepped on the threshold, it seemed that he had crossed the two worlds of life and death.Kelly couldn't help shivering—the temperature inside wasn't low, but there was a chill of death wrapping her body.The polluted part of her soul trembled slightly as if under pressure.

She glanced behind her and saw that the door she had come in had disappeared.She stood in the middle of a marble corridor, the walls were covered with beautifully woven tapestries, and the patterns on the blankets showed various lifelike pictures. Kelly raised her eyes casually, and saw Rivendell The scene of the battle between the army and the orcs.Adjacent to this tapestry, looking forward, there are still pictures of Linton's army, Rose Lorraine's army, the polluted big green forest, and her own rescue of Celebrimbor.Later, she and Glorfindel stood together in the dark cave where the Lord of the Rings was located, and the swan ship set sail from Gray Harbor to Aman Island and so on.Kelly chose to move forward.The corridor turned a corner not far away, and then there was a fork in the road.Kelly chose one at random and walked in, and soon there was another fork in the road.She stopped and realized: she was in the middle of a maze.

The surrounding area was empty and silent, not even a breeze.The darkness in the depths of Kelly's soul trembled more and more violently, and she had to use more firm reason and determination to suppress this kind of fear that had no reason and did not belong to her at all.In the emptiness, she vaguely felt that there was something there.Invisible and silent, but she felt their presence, perhaps still moving and talking, looking at her.She took a step back, leaning her back against a tapestry on the wall, looked around, bent slightly to the air in front of her, and performed an elf's courtesy.

"I can't see you. If I offend you, I apologize here." She said, "I am Kelly Cosmo, and I come to see His Royal Highness Fei Nuo."

The beings around her—the souls—came into a slight commotion, like an inaudible murmur.Then Kelly felt them move, heading in one direction, and she followed.They led her around a few corners, then stopped - or rather, dispersed.

"Use your soul." A voice from nowhere echoed vaguely, as if it sounded directly in Kelly's mind, "Don't use your body."

It was almost like the moment of "great enlightenment" in Buddhism, a light flashed in Kelly's mind, and she suddenly understood somehow-then the next moment, her soul was suddenly separated from her body.The empty corridor was no longer empty. There were about a dozen elves in twos and threes scattered along the ten-meter-long corridor. Kelly guessed that some of them were probably the elves who led her here.

She lowered her head and saw that she was no longer in her physical form.Her body stood still in place like a sculpture, and her soul—the black patterns on her body were like ropes woven by black flames, binding her and corroding her soul.Many of the "limbs" of her soul have been corroded by those black lines and have deep wounds, and even the bones that have been dyed black can be seen underneath.The wounds on his body were at least covered by clothes, but the lines on his face were unobstructed.Kelly could imagine that her current appearance was extremely terrifying.

The clothes that the soul wears are not all the clothes that she wears on the body.At least as far as she could see, she was wearing a black robe like a Hogwarts school robe, with a wedding ring on her finger.Of the things she wore physically, only one remained in her hand—the velvet pouch that Elendil had given her.Strange to say, when Kelly was in the physical body, she couldn't touch the souls of the elves at all, but at this moment, she touched and held the small bag with her own soul.

However, she didn't have much time to wonder, because the dozen or so elves suddenly looked in front of her together. When Kelly raised her eyes, she saw two figures walking straight towards her along the corridor.One of them was wearing a silver-blue robe, half a step behind, and the one in front—Kelly couldn't even see his clothes and appearance clearly at first glance, because his whole body seemed to be burning with scorching flames.He was wrapped in flames, and the flames were his robes, and his whole soul shone dangerously and scorchingly like the sun.The flames almost made Kelly's soul ache, as if every strand of black mist in her limbs screamed.She was captured by such a strong sense of fear that it obviously didn't belong to her. For a second, the rope tightened her whole body, making her freeze in place, unable to move at all.

Kylie immediately understood his identity - no wonder Gandalf never told her how to find Feanor, such a soul could never be mistaken.

The author has something to say: Fenuo, anyone who has seen "The Silmarillion" must remember him.If you haven't seen it, I won't describe it here.

How to put it, I really think it is impossible to write a character like him in one or two paragraphs...
