Tillyennawoke to a maid running into her room,
“MissTillyenna” she cried, “They’re coming back”
“Whoare coming back? Where are they coming back from?”
“They’recoming back, from across the sea!”
Tillyennajumped up “Mummy!” she yelled and ran down stairs, where she quite literallyran into Lord Elrond,
“Tillyenna,”he said, “What are you doing wandering around in your night gown,”
“Isit true?”
“Iswhat true?” asked a bewildered Elrond,
“Thatthey are coming back?”
“It’strue, indeed”
“Doesthat mean mummy is coming back?”
“Shesays she will return, but not for many years, now I suggest you go and bid yourfarewells to your brothers, Aragorn and Galandiel,”
“Whereare they going?”
“Tothe western front, the grey havens to meet all those who return on the firstships,”
“Can’tI go?”
“No,very few are going, you are not strong enough, now go and dress so you can saygoodbye,”
Tillyennafeared so much she would not be able to say goodbye to Galandiel she forgot toinsult her father and ran upstairs to dress. She grabbed a blue dress out ofthe wardrobe ran a brush through her hair, she ran out of the door then sheturned ran back into her room, she grabbed a necklace off the bedside table.
Shegot to the stables as they were about to mount,
“Whatthe…?” said Elladan,
“Whatare you doing here?” asked Elrohir,
“Icame to say goodbye,” Tilly icily informed her brothers, then she turned toAragorn, “Why are you going?”
“Becausesomebody mortal has to,”
“They’remortal,” said Tilly pointing at her brothers,
“Notreally,” said Aragorn smiling,
Tillyennasmiled as well “Goodbye dain, I’ll miss you,” she turned to her brothers “Can’tsay I’ll miss either of you much, but daddy said I had to say goodbye” sheturned to Galandiel, “do you have a few minutes?” she asked him
“Certainly,let’s walk shall we?”
“Justwhat I was going to say,”
Tillyennaand Galandiel walked out of the stables to quiet spot in a gazebo made from theintertwining branches of young saplings, she took his hands in hers,
“You,I really will miss,” she said, “But there’s a way to stay together, here, Arwengave her necklace to Aragorn, I’m giving mine to you.” She handed him thenecklace, “If ever you feel really sad, just think of what this necklacerepresents, and you might be surprised,”
“Diolalle” he said, and kissed her before turning and silently walking away,
“Cormaminniuve tenna' ta elea lle au'”
“Tenna' tul're”
Galandiel walked back into the stablesand mounted. Aragorn took one look at the necklace around Galandiel’s neck andsmiled,
“It scares me how much she’s like hersister,” he said
“Tilly like Arwen?”Galandiel asked,
“I was actually thinking Arwen likeTillyenna?” said Aragorn and rode out leaving a bewildered Galandiel to catchup with him.

Galandiel was riding through theforest, a few metres behind the rest of the company; he took one hand off thereins and held the delicate charm around his neck.
“I love you Tils, I miss you,” hewhispered. He looked deep into the forest beside him, when he saw a figure Withlong dark brown hair and sallow skin, wearing a dark blue dress, but the thingthat made him recognise it was the brilliant blue eyes.
“Tilly”he said, and then the figure disappeared, he smiled and thought of theirconversation in the gazebo, If everyou feel really sad, just think of what this necklace represents, and you mightbe surprised.[/i][/i]
He grinned and spurred his horse onto catch up with the others.
