![ cR Mana:Warm>read letter You open an elven letter titled 'Letter to a Friend' by Ereniel and begin to read. __ _________________________________________ _________________________ / \_/ \/ \ | \_ | Greetings to you my dear Friend, \ | | | I fear I do not have much time and I will keep this letter short. I would | | love to write in detail about the things I saw and the trees I walked | | under, yet there are more important matters to take care of. I have | | recovered the key, but alas, it seems time and fate played an evil trick _| | on us; we will not be able to use the item in its current state. | | \ | Do not worry too much, now, for I think it could be repaired. Still with | | all those evil creatures sneaking and lurking around the place, I do not | | think it would be easy to gain entrance or wise to hide around there! | | You do know what those tunnels look like, I could not even make a fire! | \ | |e will meet at the beginning of the next winter in our beloved city. I do | /not dare to carry the key all the way with me, I fear I am not strong | | enough to cross the Anduin, I could never fight all the creatures I could | | encounter. | | | | If I drown in the currents of the river, if something foul or a hungry | | beast attacks me at night, carrying it with me, having it in my pocket, | | you could never find it and, alas, the treasure would be lost for all | | times to come. | | | | Do you remember the cave we found about hundred years ago while following | | that grey stag? It was dry, secluded by dense bushes, and uninhabited but | | by rabbits and mice. I will hide the key in there, so that no foul hand | | will touch it and you may find it; just in case I do not make it to the | | safe homes of our kind. | | | | We will meet again, dear Friend. | | | | With the kindest regards, | | Ereniel | | / |__________________________________________________________________________/
