Chapter 1 - Choices

It’s not that he hadn’t wanted to go. But leave the land of his birth? It was more than he could bear. Better to stay and help pick up the pieces. He would mourn the loss of the love of his life, but her choice was not his. He would remain with Elrond’s children, natural and adopted. He would see the end of the age.

Who knows, maybe he would tire of this and find his way to her. Meanwhile, there was much to do.

And finally, his second greatest desire: to get his hands on Elrond’s fine palace, Imladris.
