Here is the second wonderful chapter to our story, "Lessons of Time." I
feel as if I should explain. Urebriviel and I have decided to write the
four chapters of this (excluding the first one) as a goodbye to Maewyn. We
obviously start off with Aragorn as he is the first to go, and then as each
character is needed, they leave. Obviously, as each chapter is just one
character farewelling Maewyn, they are not that long. However, this means
that we get through this quicker and onto the next sequel!
The song belongs to Delta Goodrem.
Urebriviel and I apologise for the amount of time for this chapter to be uploaded, we tried to earlier but fanfiction.net was playing up. We thank you all for the reviews we've gotten so far, including the six that disappeared!

I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
You might say a little righteous and too proud
I just wanna find a way to compromise
Cause I believe that we can work this out
I thought I had all the answers never giving in
But baby since you've gone I admit that I was wrong
When Estel entered the room, it was like a tomb. He only hoped that it wouldn't end up that way. He looked at the unmoving form on the bed and wiped away a tear. It wasn't to see Maewyn reduced to this. Not Maewyn who was so full of life, not Maewyn who embraced every part of life, not Maewyn. Estel stopped. It was pointless; all that wishful thinking, Galadriel had said her body's immune system had deteriorated because of the potion given to her, and so her body had shut down, but Estel knew better.
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we end it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do, I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
Maewyn had always been stubborn, and she was very naïve in matters of the heart. Perhaps it was because she was only brought up by one parent who himself was slowly dying of a broken heart, or perhaps, Estel thought, it was his own fault. After all the only elves she knew that were in love were Arwen and himself. And they were lucky enough to be in love from the beginning.
How am I ever gonna get rid of these blues?
Baby I'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused, you're the only thing that's on my mind
Oh my bed's so cold at night and I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right no I'm not too proud to say
Usually it was said that because she was so beautiful and outspoken that he- elves were afraid of her. Estel however knew the truth. The male elves were afraid, not of her, but of Estel, Elladan and Elrohir, who would make sure that anyone who upset Maewyn would not do so again.
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we end it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do, I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
Her body had shut down because she couldn't decide. Legolas or Haldir? Estel had no doubt that Maewyn chose in the end, but for now, giving up seemed to be the best option.
If I could only hold you now, make my pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
Moving to the bed, Estel sat on it and took Maewyn's hand.
"Mae," he said softly, "will you not wake up? I came to say goodbye." Maewyn did not stir. "Mae, I know why you are in a coma, and I know you'll be in it until you have made up your mind, but please don't take too long. The answer is right before you Mae, it hurts to see you like this. You do not deserve it." Maewyn did not move, and she was not going to. "Mae, I have heard from Mithrandir, he needs me now, and I have a feeling I may never see you again." Estel now let his tears fall; down onto Maewyn's stone cold, pale flesh. "I think I am going to have to realise my destiny. I will not lie Mae, I am terrified. I have lived as an elf for my life so far. What do I know about men? Arwen said she'd always stay by my side, but that is not fair for her. Perhaps you can talk some sense into her when you wake up." He smiled, knowing that Maewyn would do no such thing. "You really chose the perfect moment to fall into a coma. I have this suspicion that with what's coming, you may not have any of us left when this is all over. Make your choice soon Mae, your heart knows what is right." Leaning down, he kissed her cheek and whispered, "Ni melme lle, nya seler*. Namarie."
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we end it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do, I'm lost without you
