To what end will this course lead us?

The festival has ended and we three must make ready for our journey to Mirkwood. We shall stop a short time at Imladris however, to take stock of what we need in crossing the Hithaeglir this time of year. Our purpose after that is to see Parnard reaches his home, and if at all possible, she to whom he would be betrothed. 

I think back but a few short months, to Estarfin and I talking with each other from our hearts that we came to an agreement to honour what we truly wanted. That day in Mithlond had tested us both, for he believed he was trapping me though I had long ago made my choice, seeing no trap. I had no fear of him, I feared for him, that he would, in his sense of nobility, live out the whole of his life alone. I could not allow that we both wasted whatever time we have. And so we eventually agreed. 'So be it'. 

We ride now to help Parnard with his betrothal in Mirkwood, and likely to hold our own. 

To what end will this course lead us? To a measure of the happiness we both lost in our respective youth, I hope. In truth, what matters most is we will finally be together.
