 See!  I from Hell's sisterhood [am],
 And War and Death in my grip.

In Silindion:
 Issë! fíldïasi i sanëa-hanílim
 në rási énkëan santámma ó rénkëavihya.

interlinear:

 Isse      fildiasi         i   sanea     hanilim
 look-pl.  come-perf.-1sts. the evil-adj. army-pl.-abl.

 ne  rasi       enkean   santamma    o  renkeavihya
 and hold-1sts. war-acc. death-comm. in grasp-loc.-1sts.

vocab:
íssë: "look/behold" (plural imperative of iñéllo "to know"
fíldïasi: "I am come/I have come" (perf/pass. of filïello "to come"
i: "the"
sánea: "evil" (adj.) (from sán "evil")
hanílim: "from armies"  (from hanu "army")
në: "and"
rási: "I hold" (present of rállë "to hold"
énkëan: "war" (accusative of énkë)
santámma: "with death" (commitative of sánta. This is the HS form of the word. In LS it
is sámma, comm: sammámma)
ó: "in"
rénkëavihya: "in my grasp" (locative of rénkë)

Having no actual afterlife (the "elves" that speak Silindion are for the most part
immortal), I have just substituted the next best thing: "the armies of evil"
That is the armies of Sáuko, one of the rulers of evil and the creator of the
dragons....one pretty bad guy. :)
