@ all
Hankys for everyone! Oh, gang, you will love how the story will continue *smile*
From Nyx @ Akasha
Well, Sweetie, believe me: I was quite sad during writing my parts and reading your parts as well... but I love this way to work! (yay, tell me sentimental, but I had to say this now)
@ Kept-Secret
*lol* Always great to read your reviews! Thx for this *hugs* What do you think, Legolas is? Such a slut, that he will change his lover minutes after the first one is dead? *g* Well... let's think about this again. Keep the hankys for now... better. And no, we do not leave you with something half, don't worry!
@ Aislynn Crowdaughter
*puh* What a review... and well, I fear, that we know enough (or at least remember enough) from the books to turn out everything correctly in here. Who cares, what Eru wants? *g*
@ Nicole
If everyone dies... em, also a possibility for a happy end, right? *Nyx looks over to Akasha, grinning widely* Probably we should let die all creatures from Middle Earth...?
@ Nariel
Gondor has no king... Gondor needs no king *lol* (poor Boromir, speaking wise words and died so young) *eek* Forget about Tortuga... never heard of this place.. no no... (well, we LOVE your parents *g*) But thanx, that you won't kill us! *happy smile from both authors*

[Legolas]
Promise.
How can he ask that of me? How can he even think I can stand being without him? Make it without him? Live without him?
No, my love, I will not promise what you asked for. I cannot. For I cannot exist one single day without you by my side. I told you that before. So many times. And I will not change my mind now. Even if it was you who asked me to.
I swallow hard as I see all the life vanish from his grey eyes. And I feel cold. Empty, tired and.. cold. He is dead. Aragorn, the only one I ever loved and will ever love, is dead. And with him, my will to carry on left. Why should I stay here, when everything I have lived for is gone?
I keep on staring into his hollow eyes, unable to move, to feel, unable even to cry anymore. And then I feel a warm hand on my shoulder. A human hand. Eomer's hand.
"I am sorry, Legolas."
So am I. No one can understand how sorry I am. And no one will understand why I have to leave as well. Especially not Eomer.
"Thank you." I whisper, as the thoughts form in my mind. As I make my decision.
I close my eyes. I am sorry, my love. I know what it is you want of me, but it is the only thing in my entire life I have to deny you. I cannot promise to go on, for I will not be able to. The only thing left for me is...
Death.
