Yeah, yeah, not mine, none of it mine. All belongs to the wonderful and
holy J.R.R.Tolkien.
Please don't sue me for writing this!
I know it's short but as it's my first fic and as I'm just getting into the
hang of things I think I can be excused.

A Mortal Life
A mortal life, one minute there, the next gone. Faster than the arrow leaving the bow.
Blink and you may miss it all together. Once gone, never to return. My people never considered the lives of men compared to their own. It was not worth thinking about. For us, the time passed neither slow nor fast. We lived for the new day, for the stars and, for each other.
Now I can't help but wonder. How can they face the coming day, knowing that it may be their last? How will I? My fate is now bound, I can not run. I can not hide. The wings of death will seek me out and take me with them on their way to Mandos halls, there is no way out of this now. But yet, when the new day comes, it is not all that different. To live the life of men is to see the world in a new light. They have not the time to stand and watch while others go about their lives. Like the elves, they live for the moment, yet for them, life is so full, so complete.
We had an eternity to go about our lives, forever to meet our goals. The Second born do not have this particular gift, instead they have the gift of freedom. With every choice they make, men shape their whole existence, Many are given the choice of how they live, and end, their lives. The Firstborn have forever, though their end is clear. Who knows what will happen to the second? Who knows what will happen too me? I was elven, now I am mortal. Still a child of Iluvatar yet of a different race. What does it matter what my life is now like? I wed for love and I die for love. The life I face is now no longer a curse but a gift.
And I, Arwen Undomiel, The Evenstar, daughter of Elrond Half-Elven, shall use this gift in the coming day. I face a mortal life, and I look forward to it.
