Chapter 1 - The Rape Of Arda

The pain, unbearable, is beyond me.  None should have to endure what I have.  

From birth, all was laid before me.  The awakening, the beauty of birth.  The dawning, an enlightenment of knowledge.  I was content in my ignorance, lost in the belief that all was perfect.

Then HE came.  He stole my innocence; raped my essence and left me broken.  He thrust through my heart, plundering my riches, leaving my children in darkness.

Oh, Eru, do you hear your beautiful daughter crying, wounded and dying?  Will you not save me?

Ah, thank you, Father, for I hear the stirring.
