Nothing

Terentaulë, the wife of Curufin, didn't always intend to stay in Aman. Prompt: good, love, strength, accomplish

When we departed Tirion, I dreamed we would accomplish a great love, an epic love, worthy of song. I marched at his side, girded with a sword, Telperinquar in my arms, the drumbeat of my boots on the road as steady as my heart.

I stood on the quays of Alqualondë; I let him take our son. I could not--

So I did nothing.
