Farewell

The sails are set.

And so I will depart, beyond the sunset, into the West. There lies my only hope, and future, they say. But I shall stand upon the shores of Eressëa, and await the ship that will bear you hence. For I shall not live, nor die, as long as we are parted, may it be many a year.

I must leave now, my love. But you must remain for a while, to bring hope to the mortal lands, when all gets dark.

Do not despair, for our sundering will not last forever.

Farewell, my most beloved star.
