As he approached the ocean's shore, he could smell the salty air as the wind blew around his long, wispy hair. Looking quit worn from his journey as he stumbled out onto the soft sand, he realized how beautiful and mysterious the ocean was. He looked out into the distance with wonder and contentment on is face. Was this the place for him? He felt as if in a dream. The warm wind blowing about him, the waves gently going to and fro upon the beach. That day, he fell in love with the ocean, hence never to return to Mirkwood for he now lived only in a dream upon the ocean's shore.
