"Riverbank"

Frodo's gasping for breath on the rocks, and Arwen holds him tightly to her, feeling him drifting further away. He's fading, almost lost, and she reaches to touch his chest, encounters warm metal instead. A voice whispers her name, and somehow, her fingers have closed tight around the circle.

Other hands, pulling Frodo away from her, ignoring his protests, and she feels the chain snap. The hobbit, the others, they're gone, they didn't hear it, and Arwen is alone again. She kneels on the riverbank, silver dripping from her hand and gold singing in her head.
