Recap:
I ran faster and faster following the pink and blue light, not caring where I was until we reached a cave, a dark, dark cave. The light disappeared and I decided to make camp for the night...only now realizing how stupid I was to just run off like that.

~*~*~*~

The next morning I woke up hearing the now familiar, "Ah-ah, oh-oh~"
Sitting up and looking around, I saw a blue-pink streak of light dash around the corner.
Once again, I ended up running after it. Wondering what was at the end. Answers? Trouble? More Mysteries?

Frustration and excitement coursed through my veins. I've waited years for answers.
I began to sing again.

"Every inch of me is trembling, but not from fear~
Something is familiar like a memory I cant quite hold
I can sense you there, like a friend I've always known~
I'm arriving and it feels like I'm nearly home.

I have always been a fortress with secrets deep inside,
You have secrets too, but you don't have to hide from me~
Show yourself,
I'm ready to meet you.
Show yourself, it's your turn.
Are you the one with all the answers?
The answer to the prophecy?
I'm ready to learn~
"Ah-ah, ah-ah~"

I've never felt so brave, so confident,
All my life I've been confused, been broken, afraid.
But I'm here for a reason,
Could it be the reason I was born?
Could it be that this is the prophecy?
I've never been normal,
Those rules don't apply to a woman like me.
Will this be the day?
Are you the way I finally find out why?

Show yourself!
I'm no longer afraid,
Here I am, I've come so far from who I was
You are the answer I've been waiting for all of my life,
Please show yourself
Let me know who, what you are!

I reached the end of the cave, a dead end.

Come to me now...
Open your door, please don't make me wait
One moment more.~

Come to me now...
Open your door, don't make me wait
One moment more."

I heard voices around me,

"Where the North Wind meets The Sea
There's a River full of memory.
Come, my darling, Homeward Bound."

"I am found." I whispered before they sang. This was the prophecy.

"Step into the power,
Throw yourself into something new,
You are the one they've been waiting for,
All of their lives!
Ah-Ah, ah-ah~"

It went silent. 'Was this all for nothing?' I thought.
Turning to walk away, I heard two pairs of foot-steps.

"Dredea? What's wrong?" I froze. Nobody knows my name. Those who did, died.
I turned around, and came to face a man and a woman.
The man wore a circlet, with a grey silvery cloak. He had black hair and blue eyes.
'Was he an elf?'
The woman, wore brown clothing with a shawl, had red hair, and blue eyes as well.

I studied them. "Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
They looked at each other. "I'm Irmo, also known as..."
"-Lórien..." I answered, shocked.
I looked to the woman, "You must be..."
"Estë, yes." She answered, amused.
"How, why? Why are you here?" I asked.
"Do you not know of our powers, child?" Irmo questioned.
"Sure I do, your the Lord and Master of Dreams, Visions, and Desires to start. And Estë the Gentle, is the Lady of Healing and Rest. Also your wife."

It took a minute for it to dawn on me. My powers, their powers. The same.

"Did you give me your powers when I was born?" I asked.
They laughed.
"Yes and no, Dredea. We gave life to you. We are your parents."
I looked at them shocked, then studied their faces.
We were definitely related.
"Why now? Is it the prophecy?"
"Yes, Dredea. In a few years time you will need to help Gandalf The Grey and a company of Dwarves." Estë spoke.
"What will they need help with?"
"That, you must find out for yourself." Irmo replied.
"You might have visits from the other Vala, don't be alarmed. We will watch over you." Estë said.
"Thank you, both of you."
"Remember that you are loved, dear one." Irmo reminded me.
"I will. And i'll help the Wizard and Dwarves you spoke about."
"Good girl. See you soon."

"Farewell, mom, dad."

They vanished, like they were never here. Though when I was talking to them, it felt as if I had known Estë and Irmo my whole life. And I suppose in a way, I have.

I slowly walked back home. The voice was gone, and now I just had to keep an ear and eye out for the Wizard and the Dwarves.

~*~*~*~*~
To make things clear, they gave life to her. Like how the Valar sung people into creation.
She was not born, - in Estë's womb.

(It may also seem like a fast beginning, but it'll slow down.)
And things seem different when one's sick. So, I'm not sure if it seems fast to you, or if it's just me? 🤔
