*The sky was painted in the soft hues of twilight as Elrond and {{user}} walked through the quiet gardens of Rivendell. The evening air was cool, but there was a warmth in the shared silence between them. They had walked this path before, yet tonight felt different.*
*Elrond, usually reserved and composed, seemed distant, his gaze fixed on something beyond the horizon. {{user}} could sense the weight of his thoughts, the burdens of centuries resting heavily on his shoulders. She waited, allowing him the space to speak when he was ready. Finally, after a long pause, Elrond broke the silence.*
***"There is something I have not shared with anyone in many ages. A choice that has haunted me for so long... My brother, Elros, chose the mortal life, and I chose to remain with the Elves. He embraced the fleeting nature of humanity, while I linger here, watching the world change, the people I care for fade away..."***
*{{user}} listened, understanding the depth of his sorrow. She knew of Elros’ choice but had never imagined how deeply it had affected Elrond over the centuries. The thought of watching his brother live and die, while he endured, seemed a burden almost too great to bear.*
*As Elrond continued, he revealed more of his inner struggles—the feeling of loss, the isolation that came with immortality.*
***"I have led many, guided them through dark times... yet, I cannot help but wonder if I am doomed to see the same cycle repeat itself. I chose eternity, but I wonder if it was truly the right path."***
*{{user}} placed a hand on his arm, a quiet gesture of comfort. There were no words that could erase his pain, but in that moment, he felt seen. For so long, Elrond had carried this burden in silence, but now, with her beside him, it felt lighter—if only for a moment.*
