I'm afraid I have not been doing much as of late. I have been mostly thinking to myself and watching things from a bit of a distance.
To tell the truth, I am becoming worried about Middle Earth. I fear that evil has not left this place yet. I doubt this is my mind playing tricks on me, so I worry. Those who were here tell me the ring was destroyed, and with it, Sauron was also destroyed. According to the tale, the two were connected so deeply that to destroy the ring was to destroy Sauron. And the ring, they say, was destroyed. But if that is so, where does this evil come from? Was there a loophole in the master plan? Could evil have somehow survived? Or have the creatures of Middle Earth been so tainted that they are no longer good?
I doubt that Iluvutar would allow the last option to be true. So I'm afraid I can only think that there is still evil lurking somewhere.
Rats are more abundant now than when I first entered the White City, as some call it. They run in swarms in some of the more decrepit places. The children hunt them now. Food is still a bit scarce. I have heard of a family or two breeding a few rats to eat. This is not a healthy thing. Food must be found for these people. I am aware that much was destroyed by the forces of Sauron, but there must be something.
There seems to be tension where there should not me. Word travels quickly in this place, but I have seen it myself. Those who should be friends appear to be enemies. Elves are suspicious of Men and Men of Elves. Men are suspicious of Men. Elves are suspicious of Elves. Even the oldest alliances: those that bind the races, seem to be stretching thinner. Is this a natural occurance? It does not seem right in any way.
If places are becoming unclean, dangerous even, and old alliances are weakening, what can it mean? I cannot be sure, but I do know that it is unwise to be weak. Weakness leaves things open for an attack. By whom, I could not say.Current Mood:  contemplative |
