That is a very strong use of the prompt and an impressive ending!

(I always see Elwing as a naive optimist myself, despite the apparent suicide attempt, because of that bit about her theory that the Simaril causes the Havens of Sirion to "flourish". But I suppose that doesn't really follow.)

Thank you! I liked the prompt a lot. You chose well. 

Honestly, I believe Elwing must have been quite spectacularly damaged by her past (and who could blame her) -- and she clung to the Silmaril as the one constant in her life. Then it's not such a leap from that to thinking maybe the Silmaril was meant to be hers -- meant to make the Havens flourish! 

Maybe that's not very rational...
