Aragorns POV
I heard a loud knock on my bedroom door.
" 'Tis the message carrier!" I opened the door to my room, and there
stood Heffali, a servent in the house of Lord Elrond. " A message I carry
is addressed to you, Master." Heffali handed Aragorn a rolled paper tied
with a red string.
" Thank you, Heffali, this is much appreciated, since you are not the
usual carrier." I said. He smiled and nodded.
"Indeed i am not," he responded, "Colandria is sick today, I have
been assigned her duties." he said
"An elf, sick? Give her my praises"
" I will do so." Heffali responded
" Thank you," Aragorn said again. Heffali nodded and left the room,
and Aragorn untied the red string, uncurling the paper. Aragorns brow
dipped as he read the small note inside:
Aragorn,
Meet me at the willowed bench when the stars
dance above our heads. I have important matters to discuse with you.
Mell, Arwen

"Arwen, why do you hurt my heart so?" I questioned, my heart aching. Perhaps she had found another. Someone better than I. Perhaps stronger, maybe even an elf. "I have seen many things lieing in both of our futures, as has my father. He is wise, Aragorn, and I have talked with him before about the issue at hand. He also sees good things in our futures. Although I wish it did not have to be like this, I must leave rivendell, and you." "Can i not come along?" I pleeded " No Aragorn, you must stay here." She looked into my eyes and touched my cheek. "You will see, in the end, all will be at peace." I did not understand , nor did I want to. " I will love you forever Arwen, no matter what the end brings." I said " As will I, Aragorn." With that, she got up, bent over and kissed me ever so softly on my forehead, and looked into my eyes. "As will I, " she repeated, and walked away. I sat there, astonished. I had never thought that this was to happen. I had plans, we had plans, but i suppose she had her reasons. My darling Arwen, I will never forget you. I decided it would be better to walk and think rather than sit motionless in shock. I got up, but sat right back down. My legs were weak, but i pushed myself up anyways, and started to walk. I looked around. The weeping willow trees dangled just above the moonlit pond. The smell of a cool breeze filled my nose. Then, and only then did i let one tear fall onto my cheek, and roll off my lips. Her presence filled me with joy, and i would miss Arwen greatly. After I had walked around, pondering, I decided to go and rest in my room. After all, tomorrow was a big day, for I would be busy. The fellowship of the ring was to reunite, with the exception of one. I had gotten undressed and crawled under the blankets on my bed, resting my head on the soft pillow I closed my eyes. I pushed all my thoughts out of my head and allowed myself to drift into a deep and wonderful sleep.
