Throwing her velvet gray robe down to the floor, Arwen rushed up the stairs of the empty Rivendell to her father, Lord Elrond.

"Tell me what you have seen!" demanded Arwen as she quickly walked around a bend in the staircase.

"Arwen!" said the Elf Lord in surprise as he quickly stopped what he was writing and rose to meet his daughter.

"You have the gift of foresight, what did you see?" said the Evenstar persistently.

After a moment of hard staring, Elrond replied.

"I looked into your future and I saw death."

"There is also life." said Arwen, not to be discouraged or deterred. "You saw there was a child. You saw my son."

Elrond turned away and walked out to the balcony. "That future is almost gone."

"But it is not lost."

Sitting down, Elrond stared into space. "Nothing is certain." he whispered.

"Some things are certain." whispered back his daughter as she knelt next to him. "If I leave him now, I will regret it forever."

"It is time."

"From the ashes a fire shall be woken. A light from the Shadow shall spring. Renewed the Blade that was Broken, the crownless again, shall be King."

Arwen finished the well-known verse about her love. "Reforge the Sword." But as the Lord of Imladris didn't reply, Arwen softly pleaded with him. "Ada." Arwen urged her father.

Without saying anything, Elrond Half-Elven turned away. While she let her father think on this, she went and washed her hands in a nearby basin. Upon touching the water, she bit back a gasp of surprise. The water was icy cold! Quickly Arwen finished and dried her hands. Grabbing a nearby book, to read while waiting for her father's decision, she started to become engrossed in the interesting tale.

A hand suddenly placed itself onto her shoulder. Arwen quickly looked up and saw her father looking warmly down upon her, while smacking her hand on a nearby stool and made her drop her book onto the floor.

Elrond quickly sat her down on a nearby bed and covered her hands with his and examined them to see if he had caused her excessive injury.

"Your hands are cold." stated the Elf Lord anxiously as he knelt down beside her. "The life of the Elder is leaving you."

"No, Ada." Arwen quickly said. "It is cold because I just washed my hands in freezing water. That is all."

However, without giving an indication of having heard his daughter, he started to have tears in his eyes.

"Ada?"

"My only daughter has lost her chance to sail to Valinor." whispered the sad elf as tears began to fall.

"Ada, I have not lost the life of the Elder. Ada, listen to me." pleaded Arwen. Feeling her hands returning to its usual warmth, she took her father's hands into her own.

"Feel my hands, Ada."

With great reluctance, the grieving Elf Lord looked into his daughter's face. With dawning realization that the Evenstar was still an elf, his face broke into a smile.

Suddenly realizing that his "majestic" face was covered in tears, cried over a misunderstanding, he quickly wiped them off. Hugging Arwen tightly, he got up.

"I shall reforge the Sword."

AN: I realize that there is a high chance that elves do not get cold hands for whatever reason, but just for the purpose of this story, elves do get cold hands if they dip their hands into icy water for whatever period of time. So… too sad?

PSAT'S ARE OVER! YAY! Ahem… so… for those of you who took the PSAT too, how did you do? Thanks for all the reviews for last chapter. As always, I appreciate the fact that people took time to give me their opinions. I seem to making fun of a lot of prestigious elves don't I? Oh well…
