At The Waterfall

Sick was my heart, and mind, with the Oath of our father. These children should not bear witness to my madness, nor that of my only remaining brother. I took care of the boys while we held them captive, and came to love them as if they were my own. But they are no longer safe with us, and must be left where thay can be found.

"Why do you not stay?" Elrond asks me, fear and sadness in his voice.

"Take care of your brother." I evade his question.

A brief embrace from the children, I walk away, and can't look back.
