Summoned to Council by Lindariel

The Summons Arrives

This chapter takes place in Eglarest, where Alatáriel and Teleporno have lived since they came to the mortal lands.

Alatáriel sighed, refolding the letter and letting it fall to her lap. Teleporno leaned toward her. "What is it?" he asked.

"My uncle is calling a family council," she said. "Like Tirion, Mithrim is growing too small for the House of Míriel and the House of Indis to share."

"Sparks will fly," Teleporno laughed. "It is lucky we are so far from that forge."

"O no," Alatáriel replied, "my big brother will be in the thick of it, and he asks that I come also."

"Then I will go with you. It is time we saw more of this land."
