Chapter 472: The Prophecy of the North "3/3"
The massacre of relatives in Okutaki caused heavy casualties to the Taylorry, and the grief-stricken Ouwei could only turn to Ouxi for help, but received no response. The Velas do not allow the gods to participate, and Maia is among them, they are subordinate gods to Vera! Uni wept over the sorrow of the sailors of the Telleri tribe, and the sea became angry against the murderers, and many ships were crushed by the raging waves. All the people on board were also buried at the bottom of the sea, and the family massacre that took place in Okotmidi is described in more detail in the lamentation "Nodoranti", the fall of Noldor. (Meaning "The Fall of the Noldor," it is a lament written by Marglor, the famous poet and singer of Fëanor, Fëanor's second son.) It tells the story of Fëanor's defection and the exile of the Noldor, in which Maglor herself was involved. The lamentation also tells of the first family massacre that took place in Okutakidi! )
Even so, most of the Noldor Elves escaped, and when the storm passed, they continued on their way. Some travel by water, others by land. But the further they went, the more treacherous the road became. After countless nights of marching forward, they finally came to the northern border of this defensive territory, erected on the bare and desolate border of Areman, with endless mountains and cold. It was there that they suddenly saw a black figure standing high on the rocks overlooking the entire coast.
Some said it was Mandus himself, and that Manwy couldn't have sent a bigger herald than him. They heard a loud voice, solemn and terrifying, commanding them to stop and listen. So all the people stopped, and every one of the great people of the Noldor tribe, from one end to the other, heard the curses and prophecies of the voice, which came to be known as the "prophecy of the north" and the "doom of the Noldor." The content of the prophecy was so dark and obscure that the Noldor elves did not understand it at the time, and they did not understand it until the evil came upon them; But all who hear this curse come can neither delay nor seek forgiveness from fate and Vera.
"Thou shalt shed thy tears, and Vera shall surround Valinor, and ye shall be shut out forever, and not even the echoes of your lamentations shall be able to cross these mountains. Vera's wrath will envelop the Fernor family, and all the masses that follow him, from the west to the end of the east. Their oath will drive them away, and at the same time betray them, even taking away the treasure they have sworn to recover. All their good intentions at first will end in calamity and evil. Relatives are treacherous to each other, and they live in constant fear of betrayal, and all this will come to pass. The Fernor family will be forever displaced, deprived and destitute. ”
"Thou hast unjustly shed the blood of thy kindred, and thou hast defiled the land of Amen. Therefore, the blood debt will be repaid, and you will live in the shadow of death when you leave Amen. Though it has been ordained that you will not die in the One, and that no disease shall affle you, yet you will be slain, and you will surely be slain: either by the sword, or in torment, or in sorrow and sorrow; Your displaced souls will return to Mandus, where they will dwell forever year after year, longing for the bodies you have lost, and all those whom you have slain will never find mercy for you. As for those who are still alive in Middle-earth, and have not come to Mandus, they will become more and more tired as the world ages, as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; Thou shalt also faint, and become like a specter of remorse in the presence of the young race that follows. So said Vera. ”
The curse of the Veras was prophesied, and many became frightened and depressed, but Fernor kept going. And Fernafin gave up moving forward at that moment and chose to turn back. His heart was filled with remorse for his resentment against the Fernor family, for O'Wo of Okutti was his father-in-law. Many followed him back, moving back step by step with grief. Until they returned to Valinor once again, and were forgiven by the Veras. Fernafin took over the responsibility of governing the remnants of the Noldor in Valinor, but his sons did not choose to turn back, but continued to follow.
The Noldor elves finally made their way to the far north of Alda, where they first saw the icy fangs floating on the surface of the sea, and thus knew that they were approaching the Strait of Silcarissi. So far, no flesh and blood have dared to walk on it, except for Vera, only Ugoliant has walked.
As a result, Fernor paused, and a group of Noldor elves began arguing about which way they should go now. But at the same time they began to taste the pain of the cold, and the fog of stagnancy completely obscured the possibility of seeing the stars in the sky; Many people began to regret taking this path and began to complain in a low voice, especially those who followed Finn Guoxuan, who cursed Fernau, believing that he was the cause of all Elda's disasters. Fernau, too, knew what the crowd was whispering, and he summoned his sons together to counsel; To escape Ariman to Homesickness, they saw that there were only two ways to do it - cross the strait, or leave by boat.
But they had too few ships and lost part of them in a storm at sea. The remaining ships could not transport them all at once, and because of the prophecy of betrayal, the Noldor Elves were now not at ease about letting others board the ship and waiting where they were. Eventually, Fernor decided to abandon Finn and leave by boat. Because, control of the fleet is still in his hands. And the oarsmen who operated the boat have always been loyal to him, and they took the lead in boarding and leaving without Fen Guoqing, abandoning Fen Guoyan and his party.
Finally, they landed at Rosgar, the mouth of the sea on the north shore of the Ridge of Gyist, deep into the Ered Romin Mountains, and ordered the burning of the white ships of Tellery. The beautiful white ship was burned down, and the fierce and terrible fire stained half of the sky red. When Fen and his men saw the red light flickering under the clouds in the distance, they knew they had been betrayed. This was the first bitter fruit of the "murder of relatives" and "the bad luck of the Noldor".
Finn then understood that Fernor had abandoned them to Areman, leaving them to fend for themselves, or to return to Valinor in pain and embarrassment; But now he wanted to find his way to Middle-earth like never before, and wanted to see Fernor again. So he and a large number of his followers embarked on a long and tragic journey, and their bravery and perseverance increased with the difficult circumstances; Remember, they were a powerful people, the firstborn, immortal sons and daughters of Iluvita, and they had only just left the Blessed Lands, not yet weary from Arda's age.
The fire in their hearts was rising, and under the leadership of Finn and his sons Yifenrod and Galadriel, they had the courage to penetrate into the bitter north; Finally, when they found that there was no way out, they persevered through the terrible Strait of Sirkarisi and the cruel icebergs. Of the many feats that the Noldor elves have made in the future, few surpass this dabble in fortitude and pain. Tegang lost his wife, Elanvia, and many others died; When Fen finally set foot on land on the other side, the number of people who followed him was much smaller. Those who came ashore were disgusted with Ferno and his sons; When the moon first rose, they sounded the horn of their successful ascent to Middle-earth.
After the Noldor elves were exiled from Valinor and came to Middle-earth. In Valinor, the Veras gathered, and they sat still for a long time on their throne in the Circle of Judgment. But they are not what Fernaux claimed when he was foolish, sitting there in a daze. The Veras can handle many things with their brains without their hands, and they don't need to open their mouths to communicate with each other. The Maias have this ability, and so does the mighty Kundi.
Therefore, in the darkness of Valinor they stayed awake all night, and their minds traveled back and forth in Asia until the end of the universe; But no power or wisdom can alleviate the grief they feel at the moment when they witness the existence of evil. They mourned the loss of Fernau, and they mourned the death of the Twin Sacred Trees. After all, among Kundi, from the time they woke up to the time they settled in Valinor, there had only been two such amazing geniuses!
Inningville and Felno!
The two Kundi, both mentally and physically, are the most powerful and the best. They are the most heroic, the most enduring, the most handsome, the most intelligent, the most talented, the most energetic, the most quick-witted. The Veras had never seen such a good life in any living being. And what happened to Fernor was undoubtedly one of the sins that Mirko had done when he was raging. His departure, his "fall", was a pain in the hearts of the Villas. It can be said that the departure of such an excellent Kundi has made Valinor even darker, and it has also damaged the vitality of Amen Continent! Again, to the slight satisfaction of the Veras, Inenville was not fooled by Mirkor. Nor did he heed Mirkor's rumors, nor was he shaken.
Even, at the moment when the Twin Sacred Trees were toppled down, he repelled the two powerful enemies in one fell swoop with the courage that shocked the Villas. It bought valuable time for the Veras, and at the same time kept the light of the Twin Sacred Trees! He is worthy of the name of the children of Iluvita, and with his wisdom and force, he thwarted the conspiracy of Mirkor! Keeping the glory that belongs to Valinor! This is also a little comforting thing for the Veras, but for Fernore's departure, it is always a thorn in the hearts of the Veras! It is said that when Manway's messenger returned that day to make a statement, Manway was in tears because of Fernau's departure! But when he heard Felnor's last words: At least the deeds of the Noldor will be sung through the ages, Manway looked up as if he had heard the evening drum and morning bell, and he said, "As it should be!" These ballads are expensive, and they should not be taken lightly, because they are priceless! As we have been told, the beauty that is not contained in our earlier conception will be brought into the Asian, so that the existence of evil will be good. ”
But Mandus still said, "But evil is still evil!" For me, Ferno will be coming soon! Mandus' words were like a hammer striking at Manway's heart! That's because the Veras had made prophecies for the Noldor elves when they left, and these prophecies have all come true one by one. And Mandus's words undoubtedly show that Fernor's death is near! And that day will come soon!
