Bonds Broken
“This will forge a bond between us that can never be broken,” Elrond said and gently placed the cradle onto the tabletop.
CelebrÃan looked at him, her hand resting lightly on the sweet swelling of her stomach. How she hoped his words would prove true!
Yet she knew that their bond would never be complete.
There was friendship between them, yes; but not the love they had dreamed of and he knew that, too.
This way, she thought, one of us will be able to fight on, no matter what happens.
For the freedom of Middle-earth she would sacrifice everything.
