Summary
Mortality is not something elves often have to contend with, not if they do not choose it. Many turn their face away from death, after the first, the tenth, the hundredth mortal they have grown to care for, as daughters and brothers and friends. Not Arwen, though. Not Arwen, who has for so long walked the thin line between mortality and eternity and found solace in neither: not Arwen, who has yearned for both.
Or, Aragorn is not the first mortal Arwen has loved, even if he was the last. In which – while she is know best as Luthien reborn, that is not her legacy. In which a daughter–line endures in the race of men, with an uncanny resemblance to Arwen Undomiel, who raised their foremother as daughter by choice, and watched her die.

Summary
This was the descent of Hades, the god of treachery, of lies, of betrayal.
This was the descent of Hades – silvertongue, Kronocides – the god of death.Ages rise and fall in the new universe. The first spanned the beginning of creation, where Uranus and Gaia were cast into existence. The second began with the betrayal of a god-son: Kronos overthrew his god-father, and took his throne in the high heavens. The third was born in much the same way, with Zeus overthrowing Kronos in prophetic savagery, just as Kronos had overthrown Uranus before him.
And now, the universe approaches a fourth age.
