I am starting to get concerned. I have not heard from Jokyshe in over a month now and there is word that the battle is not faring well. I have tried to remain positive, but I can’t help but fear the worst. My heart is really aching with the thought that my first love might have fallen. Or worst, what if he was captured. Knowing that the king would never allow a rescue at the expense of his men, nor would Jokyshe want to be rescued if it cost the lives of any of his men, he would be forever trapped with no hope for escape.
I have tried to consume my time with my studies, but every time I start, my thoughts wander away. There is good news, though. Rumor has it that the king’s personal messenger was sent to the battle front to ascertain what was going on. The king’s messenger supposedly left late last week, so he should be back in a few more days. I can only pray and trust Thysiami that he will carry Jokyushe through any problems he might be facing. When the messenger returns I will update you on the news. Hopefully, it doesn’t bring tears to my eyes…

A Love Letter
Wow, I just received this letter from Jokyshe. He never ceases to amaze me...
Dearest Maranwë,
I know I have been away for awhile now and I wanted to write you letting you know how I have missed you. You are the most amazing person I have ever known and it has been a real honor being with you these last few months.
How I love your hair as it leaves me standing in complete awe as it flickers in the sunlight. The strands of your hair are like the flames of a fire to which every eye is attracted. Just as a small flame can warm the coldest of bodies, your hair brings the warmth of blood to my body, leaving me begging for another glance.
While most women would be lucky to have your hair alone, you are endowed with so many other physical perfections: such as your eyes. Most say that eyes are the gates to the heart. If this is true, then what I see in your eyes is the most astonishing aspect of your entire physical appearance. Your eyes radiate love, friendship, and trust like few others that I have seen in my life. They bring joy and comfort to me every time I gaze upon them. To say that they are perfect does not do justice to the qualities that your eyes reveal.
I have heard that lips are only good for kissing; I would have to disagree. The reason for this disagreement is simple; your lips highlight the rest of your unquestionably breathtaking face. The way that words seem to linger on your lips sends chills down my spine. This doesn’t even take into account your smile, which is absolutely phenomenal. You have such an eloquent smile that you can say nothing at all and still melt my heart.
The passionate way you live life is inspirational, as you seem to have the perfect balance of all things. You are highly intelligent, thoughtful, and perceptive. To say that I am lucky to be with you is an understatement. You are by far the friendliest person that I have even met. You are truly amazing even without your overwhelming beauty.
While I wish I could come back to be with you, my place is here with my men. The war is going slower than I had anticipated and it might be another month before I will be able to see you. However, just remember that though the distance may be great, my heart is yours and no man or beast can ever take it away from you.

A Lonely Week
Well it has been a few days since Jokyshe left and I already miss him. I didn't know how much I miss our silly conversations and afternoon walks. While I know that he is only fulfilling his duties, I wish he didn't have to go.
Besides that, I've been worried because there hasn't been any word about how the war is going. For the past few days, all kinds of awful things have been going through me head. My only relief is my faith in Thysiami. I know he will take care of Jokyshe no matter where Jokyshe is fighting. It is just hard sometimes to place my hope in Thysiami when I know that his will is not always the will that his follower’s imagine.
The annual kid’s festival starts tomorrow. Planning for that has helped me tremendously in diverting my attention. Hopefully, I will be able to pour my attention into the kids since so many of the kids that come have never heard of Thysiami. My mom is calling, so I will have to catch you later….
