Decision, A
15. Ithryn Luin
We awoke in the bodies of old men. Behind the unfamiliar form I recognized the familiar spirit of a dear old friend, though our memories grew dim and power cloaked.
We found ourselves outside a high, black wall, the Paradise behind forever closed to us. The chosen duty, stronger than memory, beckoned, summoning us to the shores of Arda and beyond.
He went South and I went East. We came to fight the Shadow – not the first nor the last to do so. We were also not the only ones to turn aside from that work.
I regret it now.
