"Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me." - All Fall Down
~~~
Four days.
Four days till Naneth leaves.
Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen had their round of tears, as did I, but I've been crying for years.
The rest of the elves, took the news, about the same.
We have spent the last few days with Naneth, before she goes.
Now it's my turn.
~~~
I hesitantly knocked on my parents' door.
"Come in." Naneths' voice came.
I opened the door, finding Naneth sitting on the little couch, that sat at the end of the bed.
She sat there starring at the floor, leading to the balcony.
Closing the door behind me, I made my way to her.
"Twenty years." She whispered, not looking at me, as I moved closer.
"Twenty years, and you never would have known." Tears fell down her face. "Never would have known, there was blood there."
"They must have done a good job, cleaning it up." I replied, sitting beside her.
"Indeed." She said, now looking at me. "And you have grown since then, grown into a beautiful, 'Elleth.'"
"I am not even of age yet, 'Naneth.'"
"But, you are beautiful, Lìvia." She said, placing my hands in hers'. "And, you will win the heart of a wonderful, 'Ellon.' I just know you will."
Tears started to form in my eyes.
'Naneth.' "I'm so sorry." I cracked, burying my head into her chest. "I should have stopped you." I cried.
"No, Lìvia. Do not apologize, 'Lell nin.' You did what you were told to do."
"But, look what I've done. I've caused so much pain." I cried.
"Sh, Sh, its alright. Come now stop your crying, it will be alright."
I let my tears roll of my cheeks, hold my mother tighter. She started humming, then she sang.
"Hush child, the darkness will
Rise from the deep and carry
You down to sleep.
Child, darkness will
Rise from the deep and carry
You down into sleep.
Guileless one, I'll shape your
Belief,
And you'll always know that
Your father's a thief
And you won't understand
The cause of your grief,
But you'll always follow the
Voices beneath.
Loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, only to me.
Guileless one, your spirit will
Hate her,
The flower who married
My brother the traitor.
And you will expose his
Puppeteer behavior,
For you are the proof of how
He betrayed her loyalty.
