Summary: Melian and Elwe emerge from Nan Elmoth full of new energy and plans.



Melian and Elwe emerged from the shadows of Nan Elmoth, still holding hands as they had been for years. Newly and deeply in love, they retained deep blushes on their cheeks, fresh from the memories of their time spent together after their first meeting.

Melian, her hair lustrous and black as obsidian, was the most beautiful woman that any of the Moriquendi had ever beheld. And Elwe Singollo, afterwards known as Elu Thingol, distinctive because of his silver-grey hair, was the tallest of all the elves in Middle-earth. Together they were to become the most powerful and formidable pair in Beleriand but for now they were as young, nubile newlyweds with all their senses focused on each other alone, above all else.

When they finally arrived at the edge of the forest and stepped out beyond it, they came to a halt and faced each other. For the first time in many years each let go of the other's hand. That gesture signified a change in them that would affect the lives of many elves for years to come.

Melian was the first to speak. "Dear husband," she said. "Dear Elwe, I am thinking that I have slept for too long. While I would not wish to be anywhere but in your arms and spending all my energy making love to you," and with this statement she blushed profusely, "I feel that together we need to accomplish many wondrous things - more than simply making love to each other and producing offspring."

He gazed at her silently so that she was not sure he heeded her words. "I feel no need to sleep again for a long time hence. I think I could stay awake forever."

Finally, Elwe spoke. "My love, I do agree with everything you said. We should go forth and make our home a special place where we can build a kingdom and establish something unique for our people, so that they may feel great success and happiness."

Melian, who was more knowledgeable about what their future would hold, smiled lovingly at her husband and caressed his smooth face with her reassuring hand. "Let us now go forth and make our kingdom the most splendid in the land."
