"I am sorry if I have disturbed you," Melcildir said in a whispered voice. "But I wish to speak with Erdamineon before any fighting takes place. I have had a disturbing vision..."
"Tell me, friend. What have you seen?" Erdamineon asked.
Melcildir hesitated before answering,"Before we left to begin this mission, I had an erie feeling that I was to die soon. Strangely, I was filled with dread. I tell you this, I fear nothing that walks Arda today, save the Dark Lord himself," he finished.
Melcildir paused, watching the other Elf's face and wondering what his vision meant. He spoke now of his sister's gift and how she could see things.
"Much grief came of her gift," he thought to himself.
"Is it possible," Melcildir continued,"that I have gained future sight? How else would I know? What do you make of all this? Am I to die?"
