Celebrian was hugging all three of her children. She had wished them the best and said her goodbyes to them before she walked over to Elrond, who was waiting for her. In the distance, there was a ship waiting on the water of the Great Sea. Celebrian walked over to her husband. Elrond took Celebrian's hands in his and then kissed them.


Elrond had some tears falling down his cheeks. Celebrian whipped them off, but more kept coming. This was really hard for Celebrian and Elrond. Elrond was losing the love of his life and Celebrian was saying goodbye. She was pulled in two different directions, one telling her to stay, and the other saying that she needed to go. Celebrian had no doubt that her family could make it without her. Besides, it was only a matter of time before they would all be together again.

"Elrond, everything is going to be alright." promised Celebrian.

"No its not Celebrian. I am losing you and I can't bear it." replied Elrond.

"My love, don't think of it like that. There are much more things that you could be thinking about, instead of that. You could think about the time when we first met. The time when we got married, and the time of which we started a family. Not all of those things could possibly be bad, Elrond. I must go because I have no more purpose here, but you do. And when the time comes for you to join me on the other side, I will be right there waiting for you. That I can promise." explained Celebrian.

Elrond looked into Celebrian's eyes. He smiled at her and then brought her into a hug. Before Celebrian left for the ship, Elrond put his hand on Celebrian's cheek and stroked it. He wanted to remember her forever. He wanted to remember what she looked like. Like how you blonde hair would sway in the wind and how her blue eyes turned him to stone. Then, he leaned in and gave her a kiss. The last kiss that he would give her for awhile.

"Gi melin (I love you), Elrond

"Gi melin (I love you), Elrond." whispered Celebrian.

"Iston (I know)." teased Elrond.

Celebrian smiled at Elrond before she started walking onto the ship. Once she was on the ship, she walked over to a ledge, where she looked at Elrond and her three children. The ship started to sail away and Celebrian spent the entire time looking in the direction of her family. Elrond, the twins, and Arwen all watched as Celebrian sailed over the Great Sea. And when Celebrian had passed into the undying lands, to which they could no longer see her, they all started to cry. The children started heading back to their horses, while Elrond stayed behind. He kept looking out at the Great sea.

"Gi melin (I love you), Celebrian."
