He was gone! The tears flowed free as the distance shape of Soronûmë vanished into the dark. How could he leave? Elwen had thought that finally she had found someone to help her in her quest but now he was gone, like everyone she had ever held dear.

Elwen stood on the path which ran away from the Green Dragon. The wind tugged violently at her hood but she didn't move. A deep longing welled up inside her to call her horse and ride after him. He had said she was strong but her heart had been broken too many times the strength that had returned while talking to Soronûmë had ebbed away leaving nothing, only emptiness and despair.

The wind blew through the trees. The birch beside the path rustled softly, telling of things forgotten, whispering dreams of things long past. The clouds drifted part, leaving the moon stareing down with silver light that illuminated everything. the stars, her people gave her great comfort as they burned in the heavens with white and blue light.

In her heart Elwen knew why he had left, for the time was coming when she too must continue the quest for the one that had given her the flute. Soronûmë was right there was strength in her.

Elwen's voice lifted up above the trees, soft as a running brook. She called to him a final farewell. "Nai Vardo eleni ilyë lumenn' enomentielvo siluvar Soronûmë, until we meet again." Elwen, with her sharp elven eyes caught sight of Soronûmë far off in the distance. He raised his hand in a gesture of farewell.

Elwen wiped the tears from her eyes and walked away from the pub. She knew her time had come, with the departure of her friend she too must continue on her quest for her hearts desire.
