You know, we could sit here and argue for hours and hours on what happened to Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir. Trust me, there are a million different stories I have heard...but what I have heard is that Elladan and Elrohir have some human blood coursing through those viens of theirs...I don't know how it works out, but in order for them to keep their immortality, they must be with their father..or across the sea. *shrugs*
I read it in the Tolkien Encyclopedia that was written by Christopher Tolkien. Now, as for WHY that they have to be near their father, only J.R.R. Tolkien knows that answer, and if you talk to him any time soon, please ask him if he could clear it up for us, because its been nagging on my mind too.
Sincerely,
Daegwenn

When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding—
Riding—Riding—
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard.
And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred.
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair"
Highwayman
