This was a bitter reunion. I feel for Celebrian, but Elrond's sorrow is also palpable in this short piece.

Poor Celebrian. This must have been utterly heartrending for her. I like to think that the twins came eventually to join their parents.

Author Reply: Who knows? The Professor never told us, so we can but hope.

I am sorry for her grief, and for his. But at least the two of them are together once more, and surrounded by caring.

Love the description of Gandalf disembarking from the ship.

Author Reply: I can't imagine how Elrond learned to live first with Elros' choice and then with Arwen's.

Someone else might not have noticed the marring of his beauty, or how weakened he truly was, but the two of them had been soul-bound for more than an Age

There's so much insight and compassion in that passage.

Author Reply: Thank you. Elrond was my first love as Elves go, when I first read "The Hobbit", and I always felt terribly sorry for him.

Beautifully written Thank you

Author Reply: Thanks. I find it easy to write Elrond - he is such an amazing character.
