Anarane walked along the coastline, letting the foamy water drift to her feet and slwoly sink back into the ocean. She occasionally travelled here to clear her mind, to think, to contemplate over dreams. As a child she had been a loner, always travelling by herself. Her free spirit was doomed when her father had forbidden her to travel unless he was with her, though her free roaming spirit had never left her, and she found herself wandering to the beaches during the nights when her father slept.
When she had first married, her spirit had again been delayed from venturing as her husband forbid her to leave their home, but few weeks later he had passed away due to illness. She once again was set free and foun comfot via the ocean.
Sometimes she would wander out into the ocean, until the water passed over her shoulders, and drenched her hair. It cleaned away her troubles, and afterwards she felt refreshed. If she had ever gained injuries and swam in the water, a few days later the wounds would heal and no illness would come to her.
This day she lingered along the beach watching the horizon, alone. With the wind in her hair, the water and sand at her feet she felt as though she was truly at home...

Elros was in Rommena together with his guards looking around to see how the great city was doing, he was also there to look at his ship that was bound there. Many ships layd in this shores and many where built here, the plan was always full of people and was one of the greatest city in Numenor. Elros had heard his wife had gone for a walk on the beach and he agreed to that but he wished to see her cause he had buyed her a present.
He told two of his guards to follow him since he was going to the shores to look for his wife and he didnt want to get attacked by any rebels as he traveled, the rest stayed behind as they rode off and out of the city. The shores was long and it took some time before they could see a woman in the distance, it was his wife and he smiled when he saw her beauty. They rode against her and slowed down as they approuched, Elros in the front and his two guards behind him." So here you are, I have been looking for you." He smiled and dismounted his horse, the guards still stayed on.

Anarane turned and watched the horses gain closer. She knew it was Elros and two of his guards, so she simply stood still. She looked at him as he dismounted and smiled warmly, "Sorry if I have made you worried."
She picked up the bottom of her gown and moved away from the water drifting towards her on the beach, it was warm in the dull afternoon, and the rain clouds were drifting in towards the inland.

Elros smiled and clapped his horse back carefully and then spoke calm while he walked towards her, seeing her coming against him." Nothing to sorry, its alright if you want to go for a walk." He came closer and took her hands in his as he looked at her." But you should have guards with you..there is many enemies out there you know." He smiled gently and touched her cheek gently with his one hand as he was thinking how lucky he was to have such a beautiful lady as wife.

She nodded, "Truly I am sorry, alas that I find it more comforting to linger by the sea alone, then have people watching me all the time. I feel insecure if to many people do indeed watch me, but if you wish from now on I shall bring someone with me," she said looking up at him, her eyes reflecting the soft waves rolling in.

He smlied as she said so and they both felt the sea air blowing towards them while standing there close the one another. "I would feel more safer if you had people with you when you travels and the people dont always need to be close...they could watch you from the distance." Elros said with a calm voice and turned looking at his guards who stood some distance away and then back at her." But now let us talk about something else. I have a present for you and I hope you like it." He smiled gently and walked back to his horse while holding her hand. Elros opened a bag that he had on his horse and handed over a box with a beautiful dress inside that he had buyed to her.

Anarane smiled and nodded, "As you wish," she had never really liked being watched, she prefered to know that she was able to do things without being seen or heard of it, but as she had entered new lives she had began to accept it was not up to her.
She followed Elros over to his horse, one hand in his, the other lifting her dress, she let go of his hand and dress when he went to get something from the horse, and stood there. As he came back with a box she smiled. He had bought her a present. She loved gifts, they were always comforting, and she knew love was sent with them. She opened the box, and smiled more. It was beautiful, a beautiful gown, "She walked over to him and kissed his cheek, "Thankyou. I shall put it straight on when we return."

As she opened the box he saw her face look and he smiled of joy, he saw she liked it and got more happier as she kissed his cheek and thanked him." Glad you liked it, cant wait to see you wear it." He smiled and touched her cheek gently and Kissed her lips softly." Now, do you want to come with me back to Romenna, I have still some stuff to do there before we go back to Armenelos. Or do you wish us two to take a little walk before we moves on?" He asked kindly and waited on respond.

"If you have business to do, then I should not keep you waiting," she spoke she looked at him. It had been along time since she had been asked to pick one of two options and being a relatively she person, and the restriction of choosing she was generally quite unsure of what to answer.
However she knew business was more important then strolling along a beach, and she would not keep her husband waiting on her while she continued walking along the beach, besides she could always return.

He looked at her with a gently look as she spoke and he smiled." Alright, then let us go to Rommena, we should be home before they close the gate for the night. " Elros said calm and looked towards the dirrection Armenelos layd, their capital. They could see the great mountain and the capital who layed on its side. It was a beautiful and a big city, even from the distance.

Anarane nodded, "As you wish."
She stood watching the sea for a moment, it seemed as though she was hesitant to leave, some how it was almost as though she was born by the sea. The sea cared for her, it had never drowned her, yet it healed her every wound with its soft, salty touch.

Elros turned looking at her and saw her watching the sea, indeed she loved the sea and that was easy to tell." I guess you walked here on your own, well in that case you can sit together with me on my horse." He smiled and took his horse rains as he turned and watched his wife." You ready?" Elros asked with a calm voice as the great sea wind came across them.

Anarane turned when she heard his voice, "I did not feel like riding down here," she said quietly. It was true she had felt just like walking and letting her feet sit in the warm water, and let the breeze catch her hair and blow her face gently. She had listened to the seabirds sing, on her arrival before the flew out to the sea and she had gathered some shells in a small bag she carried about.
She turned to him, feeling grateful that he had offered her a ride, "Next time I shall bring a horse," she promised.

Elros smiled and nodded." Come, let us ride." He smiled and took her hand carefully, she was still holding her box and he didnt want her to drop it in the sand." Maybe we should lay the box back in the bag so that you wont drop it?" He suggested as he looked at her. The guards stood quiet behind Elros and watched if they saw any enemies.

She nodded, and placed it carefully in the bag, making sure it tucked in tight enough so it would not fall. She let the wind pull gently at her hair and her gown, so that her gown pressed against her fine body. She heard the guards horses standing still waiting for their masters queue to move.
They were finely built animals indeed. Strong and atheletic, in a way they resmebeled her past lives in many aspects. Some were held against their will, and some weren't. It made her realise it was just life.
