The days went by, and the wind still sway the currents, and she spent hours, when alone in the dark, she will look up at the stars and start thinking, thinking, until sleep rob her of thoughts and she starts to dream.

In love, as in other things, there comes a time when even will is curbed and desire checked, allowing doubt to set in. She required now comfort and distraction from the idea of a life lived unfinished. So live the Queen Arawen in the sixth year of the New Reign.

In the city of Minas Tirith, in the halls of Merethrond, she sat in her throne, for once lacking the company of her husband. He had duties to perform, as did she. Behind her were five women - the queen's ladies - and while they were elegantly dressed and fair of faces, they pale still in comparison to the woman who wore the crown.

As the court thinned, the emissaries and ambassadors making way for the common folk, she kept the calm facade she was known for, listening to news and praises in silence, tempering it with occasional smiles. She kept her hand from making decisions regarding grievances, realizing matters of this importance was for the king to decide upon.

Eventually all that was left were those assigned to always keep close to her while in public.

She stood up, frowning slightly at her tense muscles, before nodding to her entourage that it was time to retire. As she did, she felt every instinct in her prick her to alert. Something was to happen. What was to come, she could not guess, but she believed it could only be good things.

A hint of arrogance, misplaced yet not undeserved. She gave up eternity. Was it wrong then to hope of nothing but good things in exchange...?

A lady of court called her attention, and Arwen shook herself mentally.

The couriers stood back, bowing, to make a way for her.
