Who wants to live forever ~arawen

### Eternal Love

#### Chapter 1: A Heavy Decision

The sun was slowly setting behind the hills of Rivendell, bathing the valley in golden light. Arwen stood at the edge of a small grove, looking at the calm water of the river that flowed through her home. In her hands, she held an old book of Elvish songs, but her mind was far away from the printed words.

A sound made her look up, and she saw Aragorn approaching slowly. His face was serious, but his eyes shone warmly as he reached her. "Arwen," he said softly, "you called for me."

Arwen smiled faintly and set the book aside. "Yes, Estel. I wanted to talk to you. There is something I must tell you."

Aragorn took her hands in his and looked at her with concern. "What troubles you, meleth nîn?"

Arwen took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "I have made a decision, Estel. A decision that will change both our lives forever."

Aragorn looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"

She took a deep breath and began to speak, her voice quiet but firm. "I have decided to give up my immortality to be with you. I want to spend my life with you, Estel, no matter how short it may be."

Aragorn stared at her, speechless with surprise. "Arwen, that is an immense sacrifice. Are you sure? Have you thought about what it means?"

Arwen nodded. "Yes, I have thought long and hard about it. I know what it means, and I am ready to make this sacrifice. Our love is worth it, and I want to cherish every moment we have together."

Aragorn pulled her into his arms and held her tight. "Arwen, I love you more than anything in this world. But the thought of you dying... it breaks my heart."

Arwen placed a hand on his cheek and looked deeply into his eyes. "I know, Estel. But who wants to live forever if they can't be with the love of their life? As the song says, 'Who wants to live forever?' I want to live, truly live, with you, until the end of our days."

Aragorn kissed her gently and held her even tighter. "Then we will be together, meleth nîn. Forever."

#### Chapter 2: Farewell to Immortality

A few days later, Arwen and Aragorn met again, this time in the Great Hall of Rivendell, where Elrond, Arwen's father, awaited them. Elrond was a wise and powerful Elf, and his gaze was heavy as he looked at his daughter.

"Arwen Undómiel," he began, "you have made a decision that will change your life and your future forever. Are you sure you want to walk this path?"

Arwen stepped forward and held her father's gaze. "Yes, Ada. I am sure. My love for Estel is stronger than anything else. I am ready to give up my immortality to be with him."

Elrond sighed deeply and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them again and stepped forward to embrace his daughter. "May the Valar bless you and light your path, Arwen. You are my star and my light, and I wish you only the best."

With these words, Elrond placed his hands on Arwen's shoulders and spoke ancient, powerful words in the Elvish language. A soft, golden light surrounded Arwen, and as it faded, she was no longer immortal.

Arwen felt changed, but not weaker. Instead, she felt closer to Aragorn, as if their souls were now inextricably linked.

Elrond stepped back and nodded to Aragorn. "Protect her, Estel. She is my greatest treasure."

Aragorn bowed deeply. "I will protect her with my life, Lord Elrond. I promise."

#### Chapter 3: A New Life

Years passed, and Arwen and Aragorn lived happily together, despite the challenges life threw at them. Aragorn eventually became King of Gondor and Arwen his Queen. Their love was strong and unwavering, a beacon of hope for their people.

On a warm spring evening, they stood together on the balconies of the White Tower of Minas Tirith, looking over the city. The stars twinkled in the sky, and a gentle breeze played with Arwen
