AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you Elvish Fairy and lil dreamer for the reviews. This is the last one, so I hope you guys like it. Bye, and thank you so much for your endless support!

I am regretful that I failed to tell you farewell, yet I feared you would try to stop me. I killed myself in order to end Dracula's cruel hold over me, and to save you, the ring-bearer, and the remains of the fellowship from further harm. I hope in time you'll learn not to hate me for my actions.

That is nonetheless not the concern of my letter to you. I have noticed your self-loathing depressed ways, and I have taken note of the sparkle behind your eyes at the sight of my self-imposed lashes. I am writing to ask you not to follow my example. In reference to our conversation earlier, I have realized that you are indeed an elf and not an orc. All creatures have evil desires and thoughts, in which orcs indulge. Elves do not. I believe you are a truly good and decent person, and I respect you for the restraint you showed that I could not.

I'm pleading you to hold true to my thesis, as you are one of the few sources of good in this world. You will accomplish much more than just this quest before your story is over. I beg you to consider the lives you will touch, as you have touched mine, and bear the burden of a sometimes sorrowful life, remembering that those souls can in turn bless your own.

Thank you for the love you gave me. I hope another will experience it even more.

Legolas clutched the letter in his hand, looking up to the full moon that reflected in his wet eyes. He had finally found another to share life with, and she had left him. But he knew that she had committed her sin in order to save him, which made him feel guilty as well as loved. He would bear the weight of her request, for her sake. Thought the world was cold and often lonely, he would not give into the urge for death.

'Tis worth such a burden, he thought, if I can truly show another what she has shown me.

THE END
