January 5, 2942 T.A.
Today I passed through Edoras, the capital of Rohan. I did not linger long, but I think you would have liked it there, Kili. Have you ever been to Rohan? I forgot to ask you that.
You told me all about your travels and adventures. I had hoped to adventure with you to far-off lands, just the two of us. It turned out to be just the one of me. You're still with me, but in a different way. You're here, in my mind and in my heart, but I cannot talk to you, cannot listen to you, cannot touch you.
Tonight I've made camp outside the city walls. Nowhere will ever feel like home again without you.
Wish you were here,
Tauriel.
