For many years, Aragorn wandered in the wilds, whilst Bronwë travelled to her mother's homeland. She spent time to learn the skills of a ranger whenever she could, for she saw that those skills would soon be needed.
When her mother died, she saw her time had come, and against her brother's wishes returned to Imladris, to travel with the sons of Elrond. For Elladan was the only one willing to train Bronwë, woman though she was, as a Ranger, seeing that she would not be swayed from that path.
***
Bronwë was the only woman who rode beside Aragorn and his rangers at the battles of the Pellenor and Cormallen. She was there to watch him rise higher and higher – as she had foreseen. However, though proud of her brother, Bronwë knew something was missing from her own life – and seeing him with his love only made it worse.
She returned to Imladris with the sons of Elrond, a Lady of Gondor, and weary of the world.

One day, as she was out hunting with Elladan, he suddenly turned to her, with news he had been trying to tell her for some time, but for which he had not yet found the right moment.
"Bronwë, my father is leaving. My grandmother also. My brother Elrohir… wishes to remain here a little longer, to stay with Celeborn…"
"And you my Lord? Will you also be taking the ship to Aman?"
"I… am in love, Bronwë."
"Then you will leave, to go with this elf-lady?"
"No, Bronwë, she cannot leave," he said, turning to her, "Because she is no elf."
Bronwë looked deep into Elladan's eyes.
"You will then give up your kin, your immortality… for some woman who matters not, and cares not, and after a few summers will die?"
"No…. I will give them up for you"
More chapters coming soon, folks!
