Aryanna Alarion   Many years ago, during night with full moon on sky, in fair Woods of Lothlorien, an Elven girl was born. She was daughter of Elves, to be strict; one of her grandfathers was human, half-Rohirrm, and half-Dunadain. He fell in love with one of house of Melian the Maia. Elven girl was named Elenlumien Isilwen Moraranel. Her name means "Dark Princess of Moon and Stars". Elenlumien's Elven grandparents left Middle Earth before she could meet and know them and went into the west. Her Maiar grandmother left Golden Wood few years after them and few years before Elumien's birth. Big grief fell on her mortal grandfather (mortal, however he had longer life than normal Men, because of his Dunadain blood) when she left and he returned to his home country, Rohan. Green plains of Lords of Horses gave him better feeling and as years passed, his grief wasn't as big as before. After less than one year after Elumien's birth, Lothlorien was attacked by orcs. It was bid attack and when it was getting really dangerous, her parents hid Elumien deeper in forest. This idea saved her life. However, her parents were killed and their souls went to Halls of Waiting. The only thing, which she had from her mother, was a pendant. This pendant is made of silver and it looks like elanor flower from silver, with one yellow-orange gem in the middle. She never takes it down of her neck. It is like when she is with her mother, or with her spirit at least. Elumien was found by a friend of her parents. He knew about place where she was and when he saw what happened to her parents. He decided to bring her to Imladris, place where he grew up and where grew up her mother. While she was growing up in Rivendell, she was interested in Ancient Times and Lore of Middle-Earth. She studied a lot, but she was learning also secrets of archery, knife throwing and horse-riding. She wanted to be able to defend herself and her friends. Then, when she was old enough, she started to travel and her first way led her to Lothlorien. And there her steps carried her to the one who saved her. She learned something about her parents from him and also about her mother's ability. As her grandmother, her mother had special gift. And Elumien inherited this skill, too. She could see past of anyone who she wanted and who she could touch. Elumien knew about her skill for few years before, but she didn't know that she had it from her mother. She used her power to see past of the one who saved her and there she saw her parents, grandparents and also attackers. From that time, she hated orcs. However this man went few years later to Grey Havens and left Middle-Earth as many before him. Elumien traveled a lot and visited green plains of Rohan, white towers of Gondor, dark shadows of Mirkwood, old trees of Fangorn. Her way led her long miles to North as well as to West and South. She visited also Mordor, but her face was hidden and none knew that Elven girl is walking though dirty plains of Dark Land. On every place where she was she was searching for information about her family, which she lost. She has never lost hope. She had found information in most unexpected places and in memories and words of most unexpected persons. She also found out few things about way of that orcs. She learned that they continued to Rohan and they attacked few villages and also Halderig, place, which Elumien later visited. During her journeys, Elumien learned sword-fighting as well as fight with staff. However, she has never wanted to be a warrior. She wanted to heal wounds, not make them. So, she started to learn about healing herbs and after studies in Imladris she became Aphador in Adab Nestad. She is working there and helping others, when they are ill or wounded. Elumien always defends nature and animals. She loves wolves, hawks and horses and she has few animals herself. Her wolves are Elerrina (white as Gondor towers), Lomion (silver as shadows on plains) and Christos (black as night in forest) and she is taking care about one cheetah, Lorienne. Her friends are also her horses Aelinia and Carabata and her flying friend, eagle Linweare. Her twilight-like dark hair is very long and wavy. Her power is in her sky-blue (sometimes green, it sometimes changes color) eyes and her face is fair as faces of Elves. Her dress is usually in Rohan style, because she spends a lot of time in Mark. However, when she wants, she looks like Elven ladies from old legends in red or blue dresses. Her belt is silver as well as her hair dress and there is a light in her face. She was given the second name, Aryanna. Back to the top Return to the front page of the book
