Cure

My dearest Norlië:

I hope you can read my cramped writing on this tiny parchment, and that Lille's eagle finds you in relative safety.

Six full moons have passed since we started treating Aeralin with the Elenduin potion Milnir brewed. He added multiple other ingredients that he already had at hand. Unlike athelas, all you need is one sip per day.

When I came back from the banks of Anduin, she was in a coma. We immediately started treating her.

It has been three days since we arrived at Ost Galadh. Aeralin does not say much but I can see how much pain she is in. If she is not sleeping, she writhes in pain.

We met Camaenor’s mentor, Milnir here. A skilled healer with great knowledge about poisons. He has been keeping Aeralin under observation for the last couple of days. There are so many wounded here, he is not able to give his full attention to only one of them.

It has been four days since we had to leave the battle in Dol Guldur and abandon our post. Things have never been so dire before, and no, I am not only talking about the war.

Corruption... is it truely that evil, or is it just misunderstood? I was always told that corruption was an evil thing, but is it really that tainted, or is it just an energy that is misused by the people who gain it?
I sighed as I remembered Minyelaírë's alarmed expression, seeing her look at my black eyes... "Black as the darkest depths..." She said, holding her sword in such a way that I might examine my reflection. She told me of what she thought about the misunderstandings of corruption, and I repented slightly.
