Orofaniel's post

Firiel and the Company stood there together on the harbour. The ship was ready and its white sails were already blowing in the smooth wind. "This is it." Firiel said to the others. "This is we say good bye to Tanroth and the one who follows him back to Lorien." She continued. Her eyes went blank as they had done earlier that day, but this time it was because of the sadness she felt, not the anger. Rostion stood next to her and took her hand. There were now tears that streamed down from Firiels' pale face.

She took her hand and wiped them off, but they continued to come. "I'm sorry." Firiel said and laughed. "I'm just going to miss this earth....and….." We know Solondil said. "So will all of us," he continued.

"Let us not grieve." Tanroth said. "Because we reached our goal, we have succeeded.....We came here as a group of nine elves, but it seems that only seven of us are able to leave, and move on to the next step. I will, as I've said before go back to the Lady in Lorien. I will not decide who the second will be, that is not up to me. All of you have to make a choice, a hard choice indeed, on so little time, but we have no more. " Tanroth said while he had a serious look upon his face.

Imthôlion was lost in his thoughts for some time, until he heard the familiar voices of his companions. Although unaware of the confrontation, he could hear sadness in the voices of his friends. As he approached them, he heard Dunaire say farewell to Tanroth. So it is true, thought Imthôlion. Tanroth will not sail.

"Tanroth, my friend," said Imthôlion after the others had moved away toward the ship. "So you will not be sailing?"

"No," said Tanroth, hiding the emotions that tried to push their way to the surface. "I shall not be sailing on this ship."

"You worked so hard to get us all here. It is not right for you to be left behind, when without you none of us would have made it this far." Imthôlion sighed and turned toward the ship. "I shall remember you, my friend, and shall see you again when your time to sail comes. Farewell." And so Imthôlion turned and left, joining the other Elves aboard the ship.
