Avarhiliel Liel The name I was born with is Avarhiliel, but to my friends, I am Liel. To look at I am little more than a normal elf, though my one defining feature is my lovely dark brown, curly hair. My eyes are dark blue and my skin pale. Lothlorien was the place of my birth, and after my parents passed away my brother, Ascafen, took care of me, and he was the one to raise me. He loved me dearly and thought me everything he knew. This is how I came to be a good warrior as Ascafen was a traveler and he took me with him on every trip, quest or adventure he had the good fortune to go on. And it was this influence that made be begin to seek new things. Soon I dreamed of nothing else but new place and new adventures. My kin would say I had a restless heart and spirit for I couldn’t settle in one place for long, and they were probably right. One day unexpectedly I fell in love with a mortal, our love was so sudden and passionate that I believe it took us both by surprise, but that did not matter, as we were happy. I still believe to this day that he was my soul mate. Alas though, I was told to leave him, for this relationship wasn’t accepted by my family and friends. I decided to give up my kin and share the happiness with the one I love away from my homeland. But this never came to be. My beloved one was murdered. This event caused my change. I left Lothlorien and changed my name; I was no longer the restless hearted Avarhiliel, now I was Firiel, for that day, in my heart, I died. I traveled a lot, until one day I came to Rivendell. After living there for few years I was asked to accompany a group of elves to Lothlorien. Unwillingly I did that. Soon I realized it was my fate for there. Though back in Lothlorien I found more than I ever expected to, upon my return I learnt the truth about the murder of my beloved one. I found out that the murderer was my closest friend Aldarion. My heart was subdued and I was confused as to why, though I found out that it was the darkness of passion and jealousy that caused him to kill the mortal. He ran away from Lothlorien and was gone for several years until one day we met again. I carried in my heart a desire of revenge, but I wasn’t strong enough to kill him, even though when I laid eyes upon him hatred burned in m heart. I let him go swearing one day I shall be strong enough to take his life away. Now many years have passed but I remember my promise. I fell strong enough to take my revenge; I look forward to our meeting. This time I shall not hesitate. I left Lothlorien once again and settled in Rivendell for good. I adopted five elves: Anar, Firivariel, Laureloth, Queen Elbereth and Lilu Pereldar. I created a new home and started new life. My brother and I had many arguments and grew cold. One day I learned he was dead. My life was going peacefully in Rivendell although my heart still was restless and with every chance I got I left Rivendell to seek for new adventures. I’ve seen many dangers, been on many mission and quest but my heart always longs for Rivendell and always fills up with joy when I come back. One fine day a mysterious painter painted me pink. After this I felt pink was my color and soon I was called lady of pink. It seems that everyone in Rivendell is aware of my pink paint and brush. Here I met many new friends for whom I care so much. We’ve seen many things together, we experienced many things. And yet again a surprising twist of fate – on one of my quests I found out my brother was alive and had been living a different life to mine; he changed his name and turned to the dark side. I also found out that Leyowena, my dearest friend, had been engaged to him, but he did something terrible and the marriage never happened. Ascafen, then called Enedloss, wasn’t my brother any more. Leyowena and I saving, our lives and lives of our friends killed him. After this event I was left with no family. Though I shall not end this unhappily, for now my life in Rivendell is filled with peace and happiness, although things change over time and sorrow never fully leaves ones soul, and yet, I carry on and live my life as I want to, for I refuse to be unhappy and let the past plague my present and future.
