lignota Arwen's body is lighter now, her soul slowly seeping out of her.
But her hope remains, although it takes less energy than it used to.
The sun shines down on her, warming her skin, but inside she is cold, all the way down to her bones.
The birds above no longer sing, perhaps sensing her impending death, and the death that continues in another land.
She mostly sleeps, rarely without dreams, and unlike before, she remembers each one.
In the one she's having right now, there is a young human woman, calling out to her in a language she doesn't understand.
She sounds frightened, seemingly urging Arwen to follow her, but there is nothing except endless darkness.
Arwen walks toward her, the woman's scent familiar and intriguing, but the abyss begins to swallow them--
She awakens calmly, in the garden, where the shadows have grown long, but doesn't get up.
