I've spoken before of highs and lows, the good and the bad that besets us in our lives here in the lands. And any who may have looked upon these pages will know that a darkness had come over Ellyana. That darkness was partly the outcome of things remembered from her past, partly from something that seemed to take her in N'rolav.
The darkness seems to be fading for now, and a gleam of light, a small hope that she is over the worst is appearing. The princess says that much of that is my doing, but I don't know .... As I've told her many times, she has fire and steel enough in her to fight whatever it is that assails her soul. Maybe just reminding her of that has helped her.
That hope, the gleam of light I mentioned is as the gleam and glitter of the stars at night. And last night we stood under those stars in one of our favourite high places. We'd spoken of the past, and of the present, and of the future - and then the tone of our conversation changed. Hand in hand we stood there, the stars shining down on us, and to me at least it semed as another bonding, a re-affirmation of our love and our hopes for the future.
Ellyana, cariad, every day I give my love to you.
