The Journals of Middle-Earth

The Journal of Arwen Undominal

Day 10
Today I encountered an amazing man. He was singing the song of the Lay of Lúthien, when he first saw me. I was walking by him and he shouted "Tinúviel, Tinúviel!", so I asked him why he called me by that name and who he was. He replied saying that he believed I was Lúthien Tinúviel and that his name was Aragorn son of Arathorn. We then talked for a while and returned to our dwellings.
Day 200
I have been in Lothlorien for 3 days. Today I saw Aragorn, his face has aged little, and he is now 9 and 40 years old. I fear that I am too old for him. Aragorn has grown to his full stature in both body and mind. Together we wandered through the glades of Lórien till he had to leave. I am extremely sad that he had to leave. My father does not want us to be married until he is the king of both Gondar and Arnor. But Aragorn does not want to claim the throne. He is afraid that he will make the same mistakes as Isildur. That is why he is afraid.
Day 3,000
My father has let me stay in middle-earth. He has aloud me to marry my one true love, Aragorn. Aragorn has became king of Gondar and Rohan and his coronation is in 7 days. I have been traveling for 4 days and we have covered 400 miles. Our horses are swift. We expect to get there in 2 days time.

Day 14,60
I have just had my first child. Aragorn and I have decided to name him Eldarion. I have seen his future and his is very bright, but he will face challenges as the king. He will be a very honorable king, just like his father.

Day 21,900
He has passed and I have fallen into shadow, a cloud of darkness hangs around me. I feel as if I will never be happy again. In my heart I know I won't. Aragorn is gone and there is nothing I can do about it. I chose to stay in middle-earth, to be with my one love. I had hope when others did not, they chose to leave for the safety of the Never Dying Lands. The only things left that I have is my son and daughters,my daughters elhing and sehmin, and my only son, Eldarion. I know he shall be a good king. He will lead with honor and honesty just like his father. Before Aragorn died he told me that I should repent and take a ship to the Never Dying Lands. I told him that I would stay with him until his last breath and I did. I have tasted the bitterness of mortality and at times, I regret staying here and giving up my immortality. I wish I could have gone and seen my father one last time, but, it has been over 60 years since I have seen him. He is immortal and I'm sure he has not changed a bit, while I have grown old and changed, just as the world has. Few things are as they were and they will never go back. I will travel to the lands of my mother and the lands of my father. Lórien is surely changed, as is rivendale. The world has grown old and the trees have grown wild.

Day 21,920
I have gone to Lothlorien and Rivendale and they have changed just as I thought they have. I have grown weary of this world and I sense that my time here is coming to an end. I will take this to the scribes of Gondar for future Elfs and half-Elfs if any come back to middle-earth. I have said goodbye to Eldarion and my daughters. I shall now go to the hill of Cerin Amroth in Lothlorien to lay myself to rest. The hill of Cerin Amroth shall be the place of my grave. I shall pass now.
