Yes, I have to agree, it's very, very very nice, though, it's not what I had in mind, unfortunately. But it's quite inventive, I suggest you keep trying. The moment where I cannot accept your explanation is the last line, "I die by my own hands". This does not mean departing to the West or something like that: this means really total end to the existence, not just disappearing to some Undying lands or something like that.

P.S. AND I really suggest you continue in trying, Beregond, because your riddle contains two moments where your interpretation was completely precise, and these were quite crucial moments. I think you just need to decide and make clear some things, and you might as well be near the answer.
