I wanted to include the next Chp because I didn't want you to think the story was over quiiiiiite yet ;)

Chp19

As Aule prepared to take Kili back, Kili took one last look around and marveled at his surroundings. He knew he would not remember what transpired while he was here; but that he would carry the memory, love and sacrifice of his kin in his heart for the rest of his days, until it was truly his time to return to the majestic mansions of Aule. He approached Kili and touched his finger to Kili's forehead, and he fell as in a deep sleep and remembered no more.

From a lofty mountain perch, Illuvatar felt all that had come to be, and he was happy. Although Aule's children were not of his creation, he still felt their longest line should endure. He remembered what he told Aule long, long ages ago- "often strife shall arise between mine and thine." But he knew that this prince's heading back to what fate had in store for him had not been the only pairing of his "firstborn" and his "adopted" children. From this, he smiled and knew his predetermined design was being carried out, all along.
