She is of the Eldar, those who live as long as Arda, and yet, she says she loves me. What is there in one of the Edain for one who has lived so long? I know what names the Eldar have for my folk, including 'engwar' or 'the sickly'. Death comes for us all too soon. The reward the Enemy has placed on me means that my life will most likely be even shorter. My life will be little more than a blink for one so long lived, and what will she have after that but memory?

And yet, I am falling in love with her in return. There could be few more dangerous for me to love than Luthien, the daughter of Thingol, the ruler of the Hidden Kingdom. As it is, I am wandering in a forbidden land. This will only compound his anger.
