Chapter 1 - The Road Ahead

A small smile graced her lips in the candlelight, as she admired the sleeping babe in her arms. She closed her eyes and began to whisper softly,

“One day, you will be a great King of Men. Your kingdom will be vast, your rule powerful, and your people loyal. But, many years will come to pass before you become this king you were born to be. And, in the end, the trials you will face will lead you on the path to greatness. Sleep now, little one. For you will need strength and courage when the time of the Edain comes.”
