But would I gamble with Estel's life?
I have lived with my pain and grief for this long out of duty to Middle Earth.
What do I have to lose to exist a few more years to watch over Estel until he fulfils his destiny?
Legolas closed his eyes and steeled what was left of his heart. With his inner light inherited as the star of Earendil,
he drove his grief and pain into the deepest recesses of his being.
He would keep it lock there until he knew Estel was safely on the throne of Gondor.
