Out Of The Box

Above the surface of Belegaer, the wind is howling fiercely, waves rise up and slam down angrily one after another while thunder hums threateningly into the heavens. Ossë has never been this vexed before and even the gentle Uin was in a sour mood. There has never been a collaboration between the two Maiar ever since the Ainulindalë and their anger was felt even at the Enchanted Isles, for the waves that reached the islands are high and forceful with a high tide in the shores of Tol Erresëa, Alqualondë and Eldamar. Uinen can only sigh in exasperation.

It has been days since Ulumiel disappeared from the waters or the dry lands near the shores and her spouse was throwing a fit. Uinen can't help but to worry and it took all her will not to emerge from the deep and walk into the lands herself if not for her lord telling them that she is safe in the hands of the firstborns. And last night, even though the Lord Ulmo told them not to go, Ossë secretly visited her at night after finding out about her injuries through his network of bills and albatross.

Being one of the most powerful Maiar, walking through the city without being known was a child's play for him especially that he did not took the form of his fana. His fëa wandered under the light of Tilion's flower unto the room of Ulumiel who's sleeping with a bunch of pillows behind her back. Ossë hovered above her and his stubborn heart was saddened at the sound of her labored breathing and the sight of her swollen, injured leg freshly stitched only hours ago.

Putting his hands above her prone body, soft blue light emanated from him and flows through her whole being. The maia used his power to heal her wound and internal injuries, not completely but at the very least she won't feel pain anymore. Besides, the people who took care of her will be suspicious once they find her without even a scratch. This way, they might just assume her fast healing was a blessing from the Valars. He can always just remove whatever scar that will appear later. And if it is only his choice, Ossë would take her back into the sea and just reveal everything to her. Screw his lord's will. But alas, he cannot, and all he can do is just watch over her like this.

Why does Eru gave his lord such a problematic child? One moment she was in the sea spewing nonsensical songs about wrecking balls and being a material girl, and then the next she is missing. And, fine he admits it now, but no matter how much he adores her, the Maia just don't really get her quirks. Ossë floated higher with a smirk on his face as the young one's breath even out. He tapped her forehead lightly before floating out of the window, a little satisfied knowing that she will wake up the next day feeling better. Now he have something to boast in his beloved wife.

"Chill out, what you yelling for? Lay back, it's all been done before..." my third song so far this afternoon but unlike when I was in the sea shores, I didn't sing my lungs out 'coz I know I'll scare the whole city. And who knows who's lurking around the Healing Hall's area? I don't want Lord Nestaron or Ms. Heledh to know that I crossed the window again even if I'm just here lying on the grass not even ten steps away from it. Doing that while wearing this ridiculously long dress was an achievement by the way. And even though it's not as sunny as it was days ago, I like the breeze of air and I enjoy the smell of the ocean. Honestly, I like it better when it's grey and cloudy even as a kid. The cool wind and the smell of rain calms me. If I'm inside my room, I'd feel suffocated especially now that I'm in the middle of a dilemma.
