Author's Note

After the War of the Ring, Vera had disappeared. Thranduil, even after making so much progress, dropped back into his sorrow and his pain. Legolas, his beloved son, lost hope and left for Valinor with his good friend Gimli, leaving his father behind with the admonishment to come find him when he was ready. And so Thranduil waits, prepared to wait another eternity, for his Vera to come back to him.
