Crossing the mountains was an easy trek with Narwafindë guiding them along the best paths, but it was not something that made Elennárë's busy thoughts easier as she had a lot on her mind. Even passing close to Thorin's Vale and the cliff wall she knew the gates of Belegost were hidden in could not keep her mind distracted for long, as she had been occupied in thinking over the dream she had in the ruined Rácahróta, or Wolfstone Hall as it would be known in Westron. Even the morning right after, she had known it was not any common dream, but felt very like a vision across lives, one thankfully gentler than the previous when meeting Aragorn.
She knew that she had shared minds with her other self, a Kizár who was still a stone for lack of arcane smiths able to make a ring. That sharing meant she knew what that life knew, and though her knowledge predicted the intensifying of the war and some big events to yet come was at best patchy and undetailed, as Boromir had been in Gondor right through it, and Kélan not free until a good few years after.
That though brought to mind that other life - the one that had found Kizár and handed her over to Kélan - the one Elennárë had a lingering idea could well be the same Elenaria briefly saw through the eyes of. She had not opened herself up totally to Kizár, that much Kizár had known, and knew it was mostly due to Kélan and certain factors he implied. Factors like Anvari.
That was the most significant thing to come from the dream-vision, the memory of the other traveler with that other Kizár. The stone Kizár had picked up enough to know her dwarven Other had strong feelings for her companion, and certainly Kélan had seen reason to remind her of him. There were some differences between that Anvari and the one Elennárë was close friends with, but not so great a difference that he was unrecognizable either. If what she had got from Kizár was right, the other Kizár had thought Anvari's parents were dead. Could Anvari have different parents in different worlds? Certainly he did in Kélan's world, if that soft statement Kizár was able to hear stood true - that Kélan's son Asár was another life of Anvari's.
Elennárë shook her head and looked over the side of the boat, out across the water and a couple of islands in the distance. They were not the island they were heading for, but they did make her wonder if they also had Elves under Cáno's lordship living on them.
It was an advantage of having Narwafindë with them, when he said they were welcome, no one questioned the three dwarves and the Adan woman in their group, though Maitimo got second looks, though those seemed more recognition and happy surprise. They had reached the coastal village late in the day though, and no ships were in dock, so had stayed as honoured guests until the morning brought Egandír in to land, so they might have passage out to Himlimg.
Anvari had another life who seemed to be close to Elennárë's other self. Close enough to be the bondmate who she would later bear the child of? Elennárë did not know that for sure, but had a strong feeling it was so. She felt she was going to have to speak to Anvari soon about that, something that had her nervous and unsettled, but also... hopeful. Perhaps she had finally found that One Elenaria had once seen, unclearly. She could only hope Elenaria soon found him too.
