Celeborn

For a moment she feels it - she feels him. Or she thinks she does, but it's so distant and so foreign to her she thinks it's just the effects of the darkness. Another one of Sauron's illusions, a way for him to continue his manipulations from a distance. A cruel reminder of what she had lost. There had been a time where she had thought Celeborn was still alive, that she didn't allow herself to think otherwise even when everyone else had told her he was long dead. But the more time went on she came to think he really was dead. She only said she "lost" him because she could not bring herself to say the alternative outloud.

Her hand goes to her chest, to where Sauron had stabbed her. She takes a breath, pressing against the wound with her ringed hand as if that will calm it. It doesn't help - not really.
