Eglath

Prompt: strong, forest, borne, fled

When Elwing hears that "Remembrance of Elu" was reborn, she thought it was her brothers. Instead, she found an uncle. 

“When we fled to the sea, it was strange, for we had shunned it for so long. Partly for love of the forests, but partly in anger. Strong anger that you -that Uncle Olu and our family- had been borne away by the island. I could see that remnant across the bay, like it was mocking me. We, Eglath, thought you had forgotten us.”

Elwing’s distant uncle, named in honor of her Great-grandfather the same as her older brothers, embraced her. “Oh, never, my brave niece. My father never forgot either of his brothers, or any of his kin.”
