I decided that St.George's Day was a good day to start posting this story but did not have time to post it here.

“Master Boromir, come back!”

The laughing toddler ignored the pursuing nursemaid. He scampered up the stone steps; then seeing how high he was, began to cry.

“Easy now, lad. Let me take you back to your nurse.” Captain Thorongil nimbly sprinted towards the child and scooped him up in his arms.

“Don’t want to!” Boromir kicked out, almost causing Thorongil to lose his footing. He sat down heavily on the throne, soothing the child.

The nursemaid gasped at such sacrilege, then stared. Why, the fellow almost looked as if he belonged there on the long vacant ancient seat of kings!

“Must you leave so soon?” Arwen’s voice trembled. “Stay at least until I have my first child!” 

Elrond regarded his daughter sadly. “The longer I delay the harder our parting will be. If I saw your first child, I would yearn to see the second and the third. Thus I would linger until the doom you have chosen befell you. Do not ask this. My time here is over. Your future with Estel is just beginning.

 “Adar!” Arwen’s tears flowed freely now.

 “Always remember, although I journey to the far side of the world, in my heart I remain here.”
