Drabble: And We Will Travel North (LOTR)

Title: And We Will Travel North
Author: [livejournal.com profile] wizefics
Characters/Pairing: Elladan, Elrohir, Estel
Rating: All Audiences
Warnings: none
Book/Source: LOTR, vaguely movie-ish, as are all of my LOTR fics, but not really noticeable
Disclaimer: Not mine, but Tolkien wanted to build a mythology and I think that gives me the right to play in this sandbox.
A/N: As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. Written for the weekly drabble challenge at [livejournal.com profile] tolkien_weekly - "North"



This decision has long been made. It had been decided nearly twenty summers ago, when a small child had taken our hands in his and called us brothers.

Despite our differing lineages and bloodlines and his mortality, we are kin - brothers of the heart and brothers at arms.

So we will journey with him until he no longer needs us by his side and that day will be bittersweet. Our hope is for his success; our alternative is our common deaths.

Estel leads; we follow, becoming for a short time that which we are not: Men of the North.

Very nicely done.
And to them it would only be a 'short time' from their point of view, but this shows their love and commitment, not only to Estel, but to their father's hopes for the future, because they would also have known Estel's fore-bearers going back several generations.
