Prompt 23: Afterlife
Do you believe in an afterlife? If so, what do you expect to find when you get there?
Well, yes, apparently.
I didn't though, in the past. For the Eldar, we are supposed to not die but sail into the Undying Lands, to Valinor. However because of my family's misdeeds, such a fate was barred to us and we were not permitted to re-enter Valinor.
"To the Everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth."
Such was my fate, and that of my brothers and my kin. I feared death because of that, and when death finally came to me at the end of the First Age, I did find myself in that darkness. It was not to last, however. Whether I am redeemed, or if Namo merely tired of my presence, I cannot say. Either way, I find myself reborn, given a second chance.
There is an afterlife, and I am in it.
