Short, poignant, with the subtle wisdom, innate poetry, and light hand that I would expect of elves. Even in its brevity, this piece is a striking example of good characterization.

This was very lovely. See, someone now needs to make a movie to include all the characters from Middle-Earth that we all know and love, that we never got to see in the Trilogy. Smile smiley face

Beautifully done. Some much emotion in so few words.

Excellent, Jay; not a false note anywhere. But in particular I thought the following lines were stellar, and shone out far above the rest:

"If we succeed, then Estel, little Estel, will fulfil his destiny and become the great and powerful king he was born to be – and he will be Estel no longer.

If we succeed, then Arwen, my beautiful sister, will face all the bitterness of mortality."

Fabulous. You could almost build a drabble around these alone.

Word can't describe how succint and eloquent the letter was. I am glad you included Elrond getting it, especially in light of the twins being there and Elrohir admitting to his own letter and desires. Very touching. Thanks.
