Elennar Starfire's post

Dunaire looked again at the note in his hand. Valinor... He would be leaving Middle-Earth forever. But soon, all the elves would leave, he would only be leaving sooner. Yes, he was ready. He refolded the note, and began to pack.

Afterwards, as the sun was setting, he walked among the mallorn trees, saying goodbye to Lothlorien. He picked up a fallen leaf and carried it home, where he put it carefully in the bottom of his pack. He would keep it forever to remind him of Lothlorien, Middle-Earth, and all that he was leaving behind.

The next morning, before sunrise, he went to visit Lalmion, his friend, who was staying behind.

"You are leaving, then?" Lalmion asked, seeing Dunaire with his pack and traveling clothes, leading his horse, Muinanar.

"I am," Dunaire replied, "but I must leave Muinanar behind. Will you take him?"

"Of course. Namarie, then."

"Namarie."

And Dunaire walked off to Tanroth's house to meet the other travelers.
