Saeril heard the amount of suspicion within his voice. She needed to at least convince him that Yavanna would be safe under her watchful eye. “My lord, based on what we’ve seen, the Dark Lord intends to wipe all that is good...and that includes anything that symbolizes hope and beauty. What I’ve done, during my corruption, the Durin family became that of interest to the enemy. Now, through visual experience, he also wants Yavanna”, she explained her reason. “I believe that, with my knowledge on what Sauron is capable of, I want to put my full-power to good use, and shield her away from him. Even after she finds out that I took full-responsibility, I just know that I’m a victim of circumstance. I will put my life on the line for her”, the elder didn’t know any other way to word it. She was devoted to the princess, and she adored her as family.
