I really enjoyed this. The backstory of Arathorn and Gilraen offers so many tantalizing hints, and you made good use of them. I really feel for the parents.

He heard a mother’s love for her child in her quiet voice. It echoed in his own heart, touching the love he had for Gilraen, his beloved daughter. Her happiness was all that mattered. She loved Arathorn.
This piece is just so powerful in the quiet manner you tell this story. The father's grief, the worries of a mother: it al balances out when you place true and honest love at the other side of the scale. What must prevail: the greater good of Arda or the impending grief of three peope involved? This is really nicely put down and it is filled with poignant moments, which also gives us as the reader insight in how much Ivorwen and Dírhael loved each other.
