I will not believe that. {His voice is rough, dropping a notch so it sounds like a growl.} Call me a fool but I cannot stop searching for a better future for you.
There could be daughters too. {Lovely little girls that take after Arwen and dazzle everyone they meet.} Would Maedhros enjoy the chance to see them? Would he wish for you to see them?
I hope there are for you. You and Arwen deserve every happiness.
[ He shakes his head slowly ]
Maedhros is dead. I... before I was brought here... I watched him fall. His last ... the last thing he told me was... was not to follow. I... I could not... I could not catch him.
I would think far less of him if he ordered you to follow. {He holds Maglor's hand between his own, seeking the contact subconsciously.} He was beyond your reach. Do not blame yourself for his decision.
Family cannot help but forgive. {It's part of the package, especially when family is so close.} It has been long enough even if he felt anger towards you.
It was his weakness - his breaking point - and it had nothing to do with you.
{No one blames Elrond for failing to hold back Isildur; no one blames Maglor for failing to hold back Maedhros. Choices are made and consequences inevitably follow, but those left behind do not deserve guilt.}
And I am supposed to be a Healer and a Renewer. {What healing is he doing? How is he renewing anything?} Our talents cannot solve every riddle or save every soul.

Date: 2015-02-28 09:30 am (UTC)Maybe. But I will always wonder... if I did something so terrible that he would not stay, and would not let me follow.

Date: 2015-02-28 09:38 am (UTC){He shakes his head thoughtfully.}
No, he reached the barrier of his sanity. It was the same for Isildur when he took the Ring for his own. Deaths come in many forms.
