After the decision was made, it came faster than he anticipated.
After the decision was made, it was too late to turn back.
His heart had been torn as the bond had been broken with the one he loved, yet it had been severed for his honour.
The strength to follow his path had been hard to find, but it had been done for the good of the world.
The sacrifices had been great, yet they had all been made to preserve the race of Men
He had set the foundations for a new world that he would never see.
*********
When the time came, it came faster than he had anticipated.
When the time came, it was too late to feel regret.
As he prepared himself to leave the world, he could not think of his past, or the future, or where he was going, or what he was leaving behind.
As the light in his eyes darkened he thought only of the one who had once been half of his soul. The one he had never admitted his love for.
Now he could no longer remember his face.
But his name still lingered on his dying breath.
"Elrond."
