Restoration of Olwë -- The Ritual

 < Previous    

Two bright figures join the front of the room.  Ivy Paderborn looks up, tears still shining in her eyes, and blinks at the brilliance filling the room.

  Powers Constantine eyes study the walls and ceiling as he is so suddenly overcome by the sadness he sees in the Queen. A blinding light brings his mind back to the ceremony filling him with hope. One of the figures, Lord Irmo, Vala of Dreams and Visions, speaks. "Eru ahlárië, ar alávië arkandë sina alassenen , ar acárië. (Eru has heard, and is pleased to grant this request, and has done so.)"  Malakyte Thorne blinks in amazement and growing joy.

The second figure, Nienna, speaks next. "Quettanen Eruo, andor Mandositwa avalátië. (By the command of Eru, the doors of Mandos are closed.)"  Dominique Darkwatch falls to her knees, shielding her eyes from the brilliant light

"Quettanen Eruo, ilya mornië ar ilya felu avatultië. (By the command of Eru, all darkness and evil has been driven out.)" Irmo's voice fills every corner of the chamber.

The Vala of Compassion, Nienna

"Quettanen Eruo, Estë envinyátië. (By the command of Eru, Estë has healed.)"  Nienna's voice brings a renewal of hope to those gathered.

The Vala of Visions and Dreams, Irmo

Elwing opens her eyes with a feeling of hope growing in her heart.

Her brother intones, "Kalassë ar márahroassë, entúkëalmë Olwé nóreryan, carcarien cardar antië sen. (In light and in health, we return Olwë to his people, to continue the work set before him.)"  Dominique Darkwatch hears the voices but scarcely know where they come from.

A white light radiates from the body of the Teleri Lord, growing in intensity as the Valar speak.  Brighter and brigher it grows, until Irmo finishes.  The white light fades from Olwe's body.  For a moment, he is still, lifeless.  Then he takes a deep inhale, and there is life, and breath ina body moments ago lifeless.  "Ahh," he sighs, then he speaks, "Alqualonde." 
Llyra Constantine clasps her hands, her face calm as she patiently waits. The doors had been closed. A slight smile hovers on her lips as she hears a breath drawn by the King. Comet draws breath at the sound of his voice

Olwe's eyes flutter open, and he swallows.  "Comet?"

Powers Constantine smiles as he hears the King's voice.   Elwing watches on with joy as her Uncle takes a breath and smiles at the sound of his voice, a tear trickling down her cheek as she watches the reunion in front of her.  Dominique Darkwatch can only whisper "Násië! "

"Yes dear cousin" Comet caresses his hair and smiles into his eyes. "I am here."

Olwe looks up into her well known, beautiful face.  "You...are..." he swallows,  " so beautiful." Ivy Paderborn smiles and laughs softly through her tears at the King's words.

Comet laughs and cries. "You may never do this to me again, my love."

Olwe smiles.  "Never, Sweet Love."

Comet sighs and nods to him, now without words. Malakyte Thorne lets out a deep sigh of relief. Slowly he struggles to rise, his body feeling heavy and sluggish.  "I feel the Valar, Comet!  I feel them all around." She nods at his words.
