He exhaled slowly and breathed in the salty air. The waves rose, they crested, they fell – yet they kept coming.
A fitting metaphor. His bushy brows furled. He had walked Middle-earth for a hundred lives of men, but for what end? The exiles pounded against Valinor's shores as persistently as the waves.
A grey ship smelling of Ithilien pine dropped anchor. So Legolas comes at last. He turned toward the pier but stopped at the sight of a gruff beard at the elf's side. Gimli!
Gandalf ran up the dune toward the pier. Bones once old had never felt so spry.
