Days went by, then weeks. Not a word from him came. But not word of his
death came either. She kept to herself and stayed quiet. Then one evening
Olen's letter came to her.
"Dearest, I love you and I shall return home soon. I hope you'll be
waiting for me near the gate of Lorien. It'll be a fine evening when I
return, at least I hope. Thank your grandmother for me so I have stayed in
good hands so far. I love you once again, Olen"
Is what the letter read. Arwen cried then ran to the gate to wait. Every evening since the letter she waited.
Then on an evening, with no breeze and it was fairly nice outside there came the sound of hooves. Arwen could feel her heart beat faster as the sound came and grew louder. But her heart sank at the sight of Olen. He was humped over his horse. He was covered in dirt and blood. She cried out his name and ran towards him. She told the horse to stop in the elvish tongue and she pulled him down. She shouted for help soon there could be lanterns seen throughout the forest that came towards her. He groaned and opened his eyes. "Arwen! Don't cry, you're clouding your eyes with tears. I'm ok," Olen said then he winced. She pulled him close and held him tight. "Shhhhhhh. Be quiet!" she said as she placed a finger on his lips to hush him, "Someone help me! PLEASE! He's hurt severely." She cried.
After they had helped him and gave him medicines to cure his pain Arwen was allowed into his room. She looked at him sadly. He was in such an awful condition. She placed a hand on his forehead and closed her eyes. "Arwen. They say I am going. to die. They say I have suffered such a injury that they can not heal it," he said quietly. Tears troubled her eyes and she struggled to clear them so she could look into his face. "I know. They told me. I am sorry but the tide can change. You may live. So don't talk like that!" she said in a hushing voice. "You're so sweet," he said. He winced and tried to breath. He looked at her with sad eyes, "Arwen. hold me." So she bent towards him and took him up in her arms.
He felt so thin and weak. She could feel his strength failing him. She could feel every breath become shallower. She knew.
"I love you Olen," she said calmly. "I love you so much. If. if I do pass on, live your life again. Try to find new love. do it for me cause I will return in a new way." He said to her so soft, so serious that she shook her head yes and agreed that she would. "I will only for you though," she then smiled.
Then when he breathed in once more and when he let it out slowly. his body became limp and she felt his spirit die out. She cried hysterically and felt like she had lost her own life also.
Then years later. Hundreds and hundreds of years later. she was summoned to stay wither father sicne she had been staying with her mother. She was to live with him now. When she entered Rivendell that day she felt something familiar. Her fathers' love could be felt when he hugged her and when he brought her to the dining room that evening and she met the young Estel her eyes could not be averted. She gazed at the man thy called Estel. He has green eyes like she had once loved in another person and he had such a loving atmosphere around him. Then, they met each other in secret and from then on she began to love Aragorn. Such strong feelings arose in her soul again and she knew this was right. She kept the promise to love again and in so many ways she could be reminded of Olen. Except Aragorn was a pure Mortal. This time, Arwen gave up her immortality for the man she loved and she lived with the love of Aragorn until he passed away and she was to die a year later.
