Epilogue

Glorfindel looked at his mate as they stood upon the wharf, on a deserted beach and looking out to the West. It was a magical night, the beach was deserted, and the moon hung full and heavy, shedding its silver light upon the dark sea, highlighting a path that stretched forever.

Their path to the Havens.

Glorfindel said softly. "It is time hervess nin."

"I am ready." Jehanna said firmly, her face clear and calm. She had said her farewells to all that she cared for several days ago. She felt an exultation at the freedom and peace ahead.

They both looked out as a mist rolled across the endless water and then suddenly a ship was there, its timbers creaking gently. A plank extended and a slender figure moved towards them. Glorfindel moved forward and clasped the being's arm, murmuring his welcome. He turned and held out his hand to Jehanna who stepped forward with a high head and a beautiful smile. She took his hand unhesitatingly as they stepped onto the plank and aboard the elvish ship.

"Say goodbye to Middle Earth Jehanna."

"I said my goodbyes already meleth. She turned her back to the shore and looked out West. "I am ready to face the future with you."

Glorfindel chuckled and they stood on the prow looking out to the horizon. He pulled her closer to him by sliding an arm around her waist and lay his cheek upon the crown of her head. She sighed, turning her head and lifting her face up to his.

"I love you Glorfindel."

"And I love you Jehanna."

His head lowered and their lips touched with the binding of eternity.

The End.
