The day had arrived and Arwen stood quietly with Tauriel, Estel and Lindir next to the gate.
"The ring bearer is setting out on a quest to Mount Doom, and know that you who travel with him bear no oath or bond to go further than you will" Elrond said as the fellowship looked at one another, Aragorn looked over to Arwen and smiled, although Arwen did not respond, Estel felt her shudder a little. Elrond continued "farwell, and may the blessings of elves, men and all free folk go with you", Frodo bowed slightly and turned towards the gates, Estel heard Mithrandir command Frodo to lead the fellowship out and the quest began.
Next to Estel, Tauriel whimpered slightly as Legolas gazed at her for what seemed the last time, Aragorn shared a final glance with Arwen who bowed her head in sorrow and forced a tear back into her eyes, Lindir held Estel to his chest and laid his chin on her head lovingly. The fellowship had gone, Legolas had deserted Tauriel without even a hug goodbye, and she was heartbroken.
Years passed in Middle Earth, to the elves their time was ending and many were leaving the shores to the Grey Havens. Tauriel, Arwen and Estel had refused to leave, Lindir was persistent.
"Estel, we must leave. Our time here is over."
"I tell you again Lindir, I'm not leaving Middle Earth. The shadow will lift, I can feel it."
Lindir sighed "I promise I won't leave without you but I really think we should consider leaving to safety."
"I don't want to live out my life there, I'd rather stay here to the very end."
"Be iest lin" (As you wish) Lindir held up his hands in surrender.
"Hannon le Lindir, A'maelamin" (thank you Lindir, my beloved) Estel smiled and they embraced.
