Epilogue

Elrond entered the room quickly; he knewthe chances of survival were slim as the parents of the child had been separated, and he had hurried as fast as he could to offer his assistance and knowledge. A maid rocked a small and silent bundle in her arms whilst Tathariell knelt by the bedside desperately calling Mithlin's name. Elrond looked gravely at the scene, andwalking over to Tathariell he touched her shoulder gently, wholooking to him with a tearstained face nodded in understanding.

Smoothing Mithlin's hair out, Tathariell stood up and beckoned to the maid. Taking the small bundle off the maid, she peered at the small face "He never cried or screamed once," she commented quietly as the child moved slightly in her arms

"I trust you will care for him?" Elrond asked

"Of course, he will be well cared for I assure you."

"What will he be named?"

Tathariell seemed in thought for a moment as she looked at the child in her arms, "Celeglin. He will be Celeglin for it was the last name for his mother to speak and there is no one else to name him." Elrond nodded in agreement at the decision,

"When will you tell him of his parents?" he asked. Tathariell thought deeply for a moment, it would be a difficult situation when the time came for the child to know...

"When he wishes to know, he will be told."
