A Road of Tears by Erulisse (one L)
Erestor led Glorfindel down a darkened hallway. Although Elrond had only been in the valley since spring, having first stumbled across it while escaping orcs during a blizzard, it was obvious that thought had gone into the design of the main building. Glorfindel recalled the earlier conversation about founding a refuge and sanctuary for people and learning. Elrond was obviously planning to return if elves survived the upcoming battles.
"Here we are," his companion said. He took a key in hand, inserted and turned it. Opening the door, a blue light shone just inside the entryway.
Glorfindel's breath caught. "A Fëanorean lamp! How has one survived?"
"Actually," Erestor said as he closed the door behind them, "the lamp is due to your wife's skills. She's working in Ost in Edhil … or at least she was until a month or so ago. Our newest refugees are from that area and the tales they are telling - well, they're very bad."
Glorfindel shook his head. "Once again I forgot that Helyanwë is here, in this land, only a few days travel away. She was my wife, but now she is not. It is a difficult transition for me."
Erestor raised his eyebrow questioningly, a gesture he and Elrond seemed to share. "A glass of wine to ease the tale?"
"Wine may be mandatory for this tale," Glorfindel sighed and continued.
"So, I died and found myself in Lord Námo's halls." He shuddered, "I will not speak of that place. There, I was given a choice - to hold to my marriage bond, or to dissolve it completely. I knew the pain she was in from my death as well as the deaths of our children and I never wanted to subject her to that again. I chose to dissolve our bond."
