Haleth, honey that was beautiful. It made me cry. I am such a first age geekmeister. Very well written. Very easy to read yet the language was gorgeous. You have a great beta and what a wonderful little tale. Good for you hon.

Others have gone back to Aman, pardoned by the Powers for their earlier defiance. I remain here, seemingly too proud to ask for forgiveness. In truth I am too weak to face the empty places where I once laughed. I will wait here, an Exile, until the end.

I found this very powerful -- how often despair can be called pride! You've really captured the emotions she felt -- and kept it all within canon -- and within such a short piece. Well done.

I saw this as the story of the day this morning, and I'm so very glad to have read it. I've often seen people criticize Tolkien for his lack of strength of female characters, but as you clearly show, while he may not have spotlighted them in his own writings, they certainly are there for those of us who care to look. Indeed, the homes must be kept if there is to be anything to return to, and sometimes that takes the greatest strength of all.
