Title – The Last and Greatest Adventure There is not room for Death, Unlike foolish Ar Pharazon, I accept that my final dwelling lies outside the bounds of Arda. We Men were never meant to linger for endless ages, nor to fear the final journey, which we must all take. My only regrets are that I must leave Arwen and my children for a time. I fear for my poor lady, as death is not familiar to her. Unlike my fellow Men, she was not born knowing that to receive Eru's gift was her ultimate destiny. My children will grieve, but they accept is the way of things; that the old must depart and make way for those that follow. Far better I should accept the grace that has been given to me than that they should have to witness me losing my powers of body and mind. I have taught Eldarion all I know and he will make a great and noble king. It is time now to lay down my crown and sceptre. How I yearn to be reunited with all those loved ones who have gone before. My mother and Halbarad, dearest of kindred, and Faramir, who was like a son to me, as well as my brother in arms, Éomer, and the valiant Hobbits. I have taken many journeys in my long life, but never before one so unknown. It will be my last and greatest adventure. A/n. This concludes the drabbles that I wrote for "Back to Middle-earth Month in 2009. I still have some short stories written for this challenge to publish as separate pieces. My apologies that I was unable to reply to everyone's reviews for the previous chapters I do appreciate each and every one. |
