Rieka sits with her back against a large fruit tree. She is out in the gardens, and the sun shines bright upon the city in its early morning brilliance. She can feel the dew - it dampens her robes as she sits - but she does not seem to mind it at all. He staff lays next to her on the grass. She seems content in every way. Except, of course, her scratching pen, which writes almost furiously in her journal.
I am afraid that this city is making me restless. Little has changed here in a while, and the places that intrest me lessen by the day. I can only occupy myself so much in the pubs and the market place. Other than that, only these gardens provide some calmness. I cannot say why, but I think I shall leave this city. There is more to see, and I know I will be drawn back to it, but within a month I may leave it for the time.
Many people are leaving, I have noticed. Today, I saw again the elf Galadriel. Her and some of her closest kin are returning to a place that is called Rivendell by many, I believe. It is one of the few elven realms left in Middle Earth.
The elves are fascinating people, as many of the creatures here. But the elves in particular raise above some of the others. Their skill surpasses that of many of the races in most of what they do. The strangest thing is not this. Some would say the strangest thing is that Eru holds the races at an equal level. I do not see how this is strange, though. The elves are skilled, yes, and blessed with life. Their culture is also fascinating. But men are equal to them. Men possess as will that elves do not. They are weak and many are unskilled, but they can survive. That raises them to the same level.
It would seem to me that all the intelligent creatures would have this same level in Eru's eyes, but I have not studied the dwarves. Perhaps their skill with the earth raises them, despite that Eru himeslf did not create them.
And what of these hobbits? They are exceptionally strong-willed creatures. They are content in their Shire, I believe they call it. But they do not produce much and I know few of them every travel or fight like the ones I have met. I have heard that Gandalf has an interest in the hobbits. Maybe I wil ask him.
I may have to travel to see these creatures one day, as I may travel to see the dwarves and elves, but I do not know what I will find. I do not really know what I will find anywhere. But it will be interesting to look.
For now, though, I still have things to learn from this city. I fear sometime is up. I can sense something in the way the city acts and feels. it is too faint, though. I do not know what lies beneath it all. Perhaps I am imagining it. We will have to wait and see, though.
Placing her pen down between the pages on her journal, Rieka leans back, watching a bird which just flew into the branches above her.Current Music: Mono - Courtney Love |

((Hey, you want to do a Gandalf-Rieka RP in here? ^^ I've been wanting to play with the Red myself, and seems this could be an oppertunity.))
