Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

I'm Jillraine.

When I was determined to marry Arathorn, my father was actually very opposed to this marriage. On the one hand, it was because I was too young for a Numenorer at that time to be married. Another reason is that my father foresaw Arazon's short life.

But my mother also has the ability to predict, so she strongly supported my decision and Arazon's.

In the end, both my father and mother's prophecies came true. Four years after I married Arathorn, he unfortunately died of a poisoned arrow in a battle with the orcs, but our child was born long ago. The Manor bloodline still lives on.

After Arazon passed away, a big piece of my life seemed to be missing out of nowhere, and Anila and Aragorn, my children, became my only hope for the future.

In fact, they have never disappointed me, both Lord Elrond and Lord Glorfindel love them very much.Especially Anila, as the eldest child, the burden on her is much heavier than that of Aragorn, but she may also be the earliest sensible child in this world. Since she was a child, she has performed almost impeccably, everyone can From that immature face, I saw the shadow of a future great king.

When she was six years old, I sewed a rag doll for her as a birthday present, and Anila happily accepted it. It was the first and last doll in her life as a little girl. one.

Later, she gradually grew up year by year, becoming more beautiful and vigorous year by year, but compared with those gentle and pleasant girls in Rivendell, Anila, who may only be half their age, Far more independent and mature than them, even if she sometimes acts like a baby to me and Lord Elrond, it is mostly to please us deliberately, not from the heart.

Seeing Anila like this, I am very pleased, but I can't help but feel a little sad.

If she wasn't Arazon's daughter, or if she wasn't born in this era, her childhood would have been much more carefree than it is now. She could wear beautiful pettiskirts like all innocent and lively girls, Sitting with other friends on the grass full of flowers, weaving wreaths, playing house, and having a dream that is softer and sweeter than cotton candy after a good night kiss like your parents.

Anila didn’t know her real identity until she was 20 years old, but she never questioned that she wanted to learn horseback riding and archery. I once asked her: Don’t you want to be like other girls? Is it enough to sing and dance, illustrate and read books every day?

She shook her head and said: I don't like singing and dancing.

Do you really not like it?Or have you faintly felt the heavy responsibility on your shoulders and have to give up?

Later, Lord Elrond came to visit me and showed me a painting.In the painting is an extremely handsome elf, with a pair of blue eyes looking at the people outside the painting as if he could speak.

"The painting is very good." I admired, "Which girl did it?"

No wonder I can see it at a glance, the person who painted the painting made no secret of his intentions, and it was obvious.As long as someone has a little experience or has experienced love, they should not be unable to see it.

Elrond sighed, and replied, "Velodys drew it."

I was stunned, and asked after a while, "Then... who is the elf in this painting?"

"Prince of Mirkwood, Legolas," replied Elrond gravely, "but Verodis must have never met him."

"Then how could she?" I was astonished.

"She herself said she had dreamed it in a dream," said Elrond.

In fact, this kind of situation is not completely impossible. As a pure-blood Númenoran, Anila may have inherited her ancestors' foresight ability, that is to say, in the future, she is very likely to have a relationship with this Legola. Prince Si has an intersection.

If Anila did not show such obvious admiration for the people in the painting, I would be completely happy to see it come true. As the future emperor, the more friends and allies she has, the better, and the powerful The Silvan elves might be a great help to her.

But I don’t want to see Anila get entangled by any things and feelings that may hinder her before becoming the emperor. For this reason, I don’t even hope that she will often return to Rivendell to visit me, and if she falls in love with that An elf prince, this will definitely be a bitter love that will consume a lot of her energy.

I may be a lot like my father.Naturally I love my daughter, so I don't want her to fall in love with an elf with such a huge difference in lifespan, even if it is the elf who will pay the price of eternal life, gradually growing old before the eternal youth and young lover It is not a beautiful thing, especially for women.

I am more like my mother.Some sacrifices are necessary, just like she supported my marriage with Arathorn for the hope of her people, for the future of the Dunedain, Anila is destined to sacrifice a lot, such as freedom and love.

Twenty years later, I saw the prince of the Mirkwood in Rivendell. He was wandering aimlessly in Rivendell alone, as if he was admiring the beautiful scenery around him, but he didn’t seem to be paying attention to anything. above.

I stood there silently watching him.

After a while, he realized that someone was looking at him, and immediately looked up. When he saw me, he was taken aback, but soon he relaxed and walked towards me.

"Hello, ma'am." He only bent over, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Gillraine, daughter of Dehail, mother of Anila and Aragorn." I introduced myself, "You are His Royal Highness Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, right?"

"You know me?" He was taken aback for another moment, and asked uncertainly, "Did Anila mention me to you?"

That's true, so I nodded and asked again: "Are you going back to Rivendell with Anila this time?"

"Yes." I don't know if it was my illusion, but when he faced me, he was inexplicably cramped and cautious.

"And Anila? Not with you?"

"Elrond should be looking for her and Aragorn for something. I think they will come to see you in a while."

I looked at him nonchalantly.

It's not at all the same as the arrogant and violent elf prince in the rumors. Both his eyes and expression are extremely soft and warm, and his appearance is indeed handsome, and his speech is gentle and polite. It is very comfortable to get along with one person.

Is the rumor wrong?Or has something changed him over the decades?

"For so many years, Anila and Aragon have been taken care of by you." I bowed and saluted.

"No, I want to thank them." Legolas said very sincerely, "Over the years with them, they have influenced me more than I have helped them. The wisest, strongest, and most virtuous of human beings, I would have found incomparable pleasure and instruction in the company of even a single day. Do you think I am exaggerating, ma'am? But I mean it, my They are indeed dozens of times their age, but I am still very honored to have friends like them."

"Friend?" I repeated softly. "Of course, Aragorn would be very happy to have a friend like you, but Anila..."

I paused deliberately, and saw him froze, as expected.

Really... a person who, like Anila, will not hide at all in this regard.

That being the case, I don't intend to go around in circles anymore: "Anila likes you very much, Your Highness, do you know that?"

"Hmm..." He couldn't figure out what I meant, so he nodded hesitantly.

"But if you only regard her as a friend, please don't give her any other hope."

His Royal Highness Legolas probably didn't expect me to be so straightforward, he was stunned for three seconds, and then said: "No, I... I also like Anila, really."

"Then please hurry up and get out before you get too deep, Your Highness." I said, "It is not a good thing for an elf to fall in love with a mortal, especially for you."

He was silent for a while, and then asked: "But don't you also object to Aragorn's pursuit of Arwen?"

"What's the point of my objection? Aragorn is destined not to get Lord Elrond's permission. I don't think your father would agree to such a thing, either?" I smiled wryly, my Children, your vision and goals are always too high, "Besides, you and Arwen's situation is different, Your Highness. If Aragorn still has such a glimmer of hope that Arwen is willing to give up eternal life for him, then they will Your day will be incomparably brilliant and splendid. But what about you, Your Highness? You are a pure elf, you have no right to choose the fate of mortals, after Anila dies, what awaits you will be millions of years of loneliness, Do you really not mind that?"

Before he could open his mouth, I continued: "Furthermore, even if you are willing to endure the loneliness of eternal life for the sake of 200 years of joy, with all due respect, this is completely inappropriate. You are the noble of Mirkwood The prince of the future, the future king, and Anila may become the queen of Gondor in the future. The responsibilities of the two of you are too heavy. No one should make a little sacrifice for the other. This is very unsatisfactory to you Fair. Besides, if I remember correctly, you are the only son of His Majesty Thranduil in Mirkwood, right?"

He said nothing more, lost in thought, looking very unhappy and devastated.

I looked at him with almost pity for him.

If it's possible, why don't I want my daughter to marry the one I love in the end?But no one knows better than me the pain after the death of a loved one. This elf is obviously not ready for such a thing. The love between the two of them is still very naive. If you learn from the pain and let go now, It's better than regretting later when the two have to pay the price because of the huge differences in race and ideas.

His Highness Legolas and I just fell into an atmosphere of silence for a while, and he suddenly turned his head to look, and after a while, I also heard the sound of someone's footsteps coming this way.

After a few more seconds, Anila's smiling figure appeared in front of my eyes.

"Nana." She called me affectionately, "ah, Legolas are you here too?"

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years since I last saw Anila. Her appearance has not changed much, but her skin is tanned again, her hair is longer, and her smile is much brighter than before. , I saw her walking towards me hurriedly but pretending to be calm, and my eyes suddenly became hot.

"Lord Elrond called me and Aragorn just now, but I was a step late. When I arrived, Aragorn seemed to be having a private conversation with Elrond. It should be about Alwen." Ani Ra sighed and shook her head, but her tone was not worried at all.

Still as confident in the relationship between elves and humans as before, I couldn't help crying and couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "Of course Lord Elrond would not want Arwen to marry a mere ranger."

"Ah, speaking of this—" She held my hand excitedly, but I still felt her fingers trembling imperceptibly, and there was a trace of tension hidden in her expression of anticipation, "I think, I can almost Ready to reveal your identity, what do you think, Nana?"

I froze for a moment before realizing what she was saying.

"Oh? You think you've accomplished enough to be king?" I asked her.Anila has always been self-confident, which is why I worry that she will be satisfied with the little credit she has made over the decades.

"Maybe it's not enough, but I think at least I have proved that I have this ability." Anila lowered her head and replied to me, "Otherwise, what kind of achievements do you think I have made to be enough to be king? Do you have to Let me completely defeat Sauron?"

"Sauron hates Isildur's descendants deeply. If you reveal your identity now, you will undoubtedly be completely exposed to his eyes, and he will definitely try to catch and kill you," I explained, "even if You are capable enough to lead Gondor against Mordor, but what if the regent of Gondor disagrees with the return of the Human Emperor, although your status as the heir is justified, it is best if we can convince everyone."

"During the ten years I have been in Gondor, I have somewhat understood the current regent and his heirs." She said, "The current regent Exilion II is very reasonable, but he is old. Gao, while his son, Denethor II, is more persistent in the power of the regent..."

"That's why." I sighed, "Forget it, if you think now is the most suitable time, then go ahead and do it. Just remember that all the hopes of our family can be pinned on you."

"... Isn't there still Aragon?" Anila smiled unnaturally and lowered her head.

It's not easy for me to put too much pressure on her: "Then you can find an opportunity to ask Lord Elrond to help you recast the holy sword of Elendil."

"Yes." She replied in a deep voice, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Then, if I succeed in enthroning, would Nana accompany me to Gondor?"

I pondered for a while.

She quickly said: "Maybe it's good that you have been living in Rivendell. Gondor is still too close to Mordor, so it's not as safe as Rivendell. I just thought that if I could let you see Gondor in my You should be happy with the way you are prospering under the leadership..."

Only then did I suddenly understand why Anila insisted on making such a sudden request for the Emperor's return at this moment.

This child's mind is really delicate and terrifying. I am afraid that I have already seen my growing anxiety and despair about the darkness in the few letters in the past few years.

"I'm old, Velodis." I murmured, stroking her face gently, "You feel right, I think our parting again will indeed be our farewell. I put The future and hope were given to the people of Dunedain, but not to themselves."

"You are only lonely, and that is why I wish you would come to Gondor to live with me." Anila sighed, "You are not yet a hundred years old, and you are still very young among the Númenoreans. "

I just smile.It is not my body that is aging, but my heart.

After a while of silence, Anila suddenly said, "If, I mean if, if father can come back, will you regain hope for the future?"

"He is already dead." I replied calmly, "Death is a gift from God to human beings. Although many people hate and fear it, I think your father will accept it willingly. Don't bother him anymore." , Anila."

Although Anila is the daughter I grew up with, I realized very early on that there must be some secrets and abilities in her that are unknown to anyone. When she proposed to bring Arazon back from the dead When I was there, I had a faint feeling: it might not be just a hypothesis or a joke she said casually.

But even if she really has the terrifying power that can bring the dead back to life, I will never agree with her abusing this power. Going against the sky is not a fun thing, and there is always a price to pay.

In the end, I could only watch Anila leave with a sad face. This was probably our last meeting, and it would be forever.

I looked at her back, and I seemed to see the picture 30 years ago again in a trance.

At that time, Anila and Aragorn had just turned 20 years old, and they left Forest Valley for the first time. Aragorn frequently turned around and waved goodbye to me and Elrond who watched them leave. never looked back.

"They won't come back," I said to myself. "The two children who needed our protection for 20 years just disappeared."

"The next time you see them, you will be amazed at their maturity and strength," Elrond reassured me.

Now I watch Anila walk away again, looking at her firm and stubborn back as before, the only difference is that this time the person walking beside her and gesturing to me has become the blond elf .
