Disclaimer: I do not own the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I greatly enjoy his writings and I like to muse about what might have befallen the characters he created. The characters not created by Tolkien are mine. I wrote this for personal pleasure only and not for personal gain. It is intended as a tribute to JRRT.
Thanks for reviewing, it is much appreciated! Kudos to Deandra for betaing!
Elven-Queen
While dancing with his mother, Eldarion pondered his wife. As expected, she had aged more swiftly than he. Still, she had looked regal today, though she had muttered, 'I appear old enough to be your mother, yet Arwen seems young enough to be my daughter.'
When Elfcwen, too fatigued to attend tonight's feast, had retired early, he had helped her. Once she was settled in the cushions, he had murmured with a tender caress, 'My Elven-Queen.'
She had chuckled, 'I will not last as long as the former!' Anguished, she had added, 'Promise me, you will remarry after my passing.'
Set at Eldarion's coronation in Minas Tirith, 121 F.A. (3141 T.A.). Eldarion is 101 and Elfcwen is 98 years old. Drabble 2, 'Living a Long Life', shows the start of Eldarion's interest in Elfcwen of Rohan.
