The day that Erkaliel most feared had come, the day when she would leave for the Undying Lands, the day she would leave behind the land that she fought so many times not to leave, now she would give in.
As Tanroth made his brief speech Erkaliel looked at the faces of the others that had been chosen, she watched as Tanroth’s lips moved but she heard no sound coming out of it. The only sound she could hear were echoes of the past, and the echo of a question she had made to herself, “Is it the right thing to do?”.

She was trying her best not to show her true fillings, but her sad gray eyes where immediately filled with tears once she realized that this time she wouldn’t come back, though she knew that she had nothing to go back to. She quickly wiped away her tears, and hoped no one had noticed them. She wondered if all the years spent fighting not to leave this land where in vain.

Erkaliel fallowed as the elves started walking towards their uncertain destiny, she didn’t pronounce a word nor did she look back she simply walked as if hypnotized, lost in the sadness of doubts that disturbed her mind. The only thing that she was certain of was that their journey was going to be both, dangerous and tiring, but that did not worry her.
