This reminds me of the song of the Ents and the Entwives in LOTR. That was an elven song (or a translation of one), we are told, and here we are reminded that the Elves themselves had suffered an earlier sundering; indeed this is the first of many sunderings.

If it is not written that these two elves met again, it is not written that they did not...

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, Himring.  You are certainly correct in that there are similarities between the song of the Ents and this give/take.  And I do hope that someday they do meet again, although many of the "dark" elves choose to be houseless instead of go to Mandos.  But hope springs eternal...

Hello Erulisse,

Lovely story. Too short! I like that their arguments were of the positives they saw in each of their chosen lands. They sound to me to be a very loving couple. It shows how strong the longing of the light was to those who saw it. 

 

Like the other reviewers, I would love to see the another chapter. Maybe not their eventual meeting. Maybe messages passed on to them by others.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on the story. I hope someday to revisit these two, but am busy with other projects now that have pulled me far, far away. As an author, however, it is always helpful to have feedback and therefore, again, thank you for taking the time to feed me back :-)
