Every morning when she wakes up Eleniel always peers into her Father's room with the same result. He's still not there. Since her Mother, Raina, has passed away her life has been quite lonely. Her poor Father, Revion, just hasn't been the same. He had loved her Mother dearly and you could tell he is still hurt very deeply by her death. She knew it hurt him to look at her. After all, she looked almost exactly like her mother. Especially her eyes. Eleniels eyes were the same beautiful, light blue eyes as her mother. As hurt as she was about not having her father around she understood. She knew why he had to go and travel again. But that didn't make it easier. All she could do was work hard at the palace, keep the house clean, and wait for the day of his return.
And that she did. Since she was seventeen she has worked as a housekeeper at the palace. Always carrying her feather duster with her. Ironically she's allergic to dust but has never told anyone. So whenever she's dusting away you will hear her sneezing. Constantly. She spends the majority of the day making all the beds. She's gotten quite good at it now and can changed the sheets and make the bed in less than 3 minutes. Most think she's naturally good at it but to tell the truth she has practiced on her bed at home many times.
In truth what she really likes to do is spend time in Pelennor Fields. It's always so calm and beautiful there. On her days off she'll sprawl out on the fields and stare up at the clouds. Amusing herself but trying to figure out what shapes they make. Whenever the weather is bad she'll stay at home and attempting to learn how sew. After all her mother was a seamstress. But Eleniel has always found a way to hurt herself attempting to do her mother's work.
And so this morning was like all the others. She woke up, checked her father's room, broke her fast, and got dressed in her black and white servants garb. She hurried to the palace as usual. When she arrived at work she immediately looked down at the floor, and headed towards the servants quarter. As she arrived there she went to the closet and grabbed her work things. She grabbed her feather duster, put her head up in a bun, and stuck the handle of it in.
And so she went to the first bedroom and began her work. After all, today was like any other day...wasn't it?
