Erelil's POV
Winter is approaching as the nights become colder even with the lit fire in my room. Now when I sing to the stars I wear a cloak to keep warm. Today Smaug is having me sing a song about winter. "In the woodlands low, born of ice and snow, there's a maiden weeping tonight.
Snow falls softly 'neath the winter moon
Forest bare and white, she dwells there by night
Listen to her cry sorrow's song.
Snow falls softly 'neath the winter moon
Breathless, icy, bright. Daughter of the night.
Oh, who do you cry for?
Keening softly 'neath the winter moon
Fuyu no tsuki, fuyu no tsuki, kanashimi utsusu fuyu no tsuki
Kogoeru fuyu no tsuki no yoru ni yuki no otome hana o mistuke ni
yuki ni umoreta sanrin no naka o tabi tsuzukena sai
Traveler passing through, feet all bare , his smile was true
His eyes shone with starlight
he waked softly 'neath the winter moon
Love made my heart soar, you're the one I've waited for
Stay with me forever
she cried softly 'neath the winter moon
In the snow he stayed, from my side he did not stray
My hands could not warm him
He died softly 'neath the winter moon" I finished singing. "Will that be all Smaug?" I ask and he nods his head. I go prepare a salad for dinner tonight as soon it'll be to cold for eatable plants to grow. Autumn will disappear in a week and snow will begin to fall marking the start of winter.
I always loved winter it is my most favourite season even if it is cold. Summer is to hot for my liking and it rains no stop in Autumn. Spring time is beautiful with all the new flowers and life blooming everywhere. But winter and the snow has always made me happy as the stars do. For these are the only two things that haven't changed in all the years I have been a prisoner.
When I reached my room I decided to write an other letter. Though I can not send it to anyone, it felt good to write things down. It got things off my chest. I wrote down all that I had done since when I last wrote one. Before signing my name at the bottom and placed it in a chest with all the other letters I have written over the years.
Then I decide to go look at the stars again as it is still early. I decide to sing the song my sister Celebrian used to sing to me to help me sleep. When I reached the front gate I looked up to the stars before I began to sing.
"Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, lai-lay" I finish the sing as silent tears fall down my cheeks. "I miss you Celebrian, where are you when I need you?" I ask looking up at the stars. Then I reenter the mountain and head straight to my room. Before falling into a light sleep dreaming of the days I used to have with my family in Lothlorien and Rivendell.
