Destiny
Like you, I wrestle with my thoughts, never speaking of our choice, delaying and delaying and delaying until we can delay no more. I have long feared this moment, when I – when we – must face our heritage; choose our destiny.
Do we take the fate of men or elves? Mortality or immortality? A brief' glorious spark followed by swift death, or a slow gradual flowering and eventual decline? I love this world; would gladly take eternity to explore it; but that same eternity without you, my brother, would be unbearable.
I know I could not endure our father's unending grief.
Author's Note: I do not know the twins' choice, but I tend to think that they chose immortality. Whatever the decision, I think they chose the same fate – I cannot imagine them being sundered as Elrond and Elros were.
