Choices

Summary:

Elros just told his brother about his decision.

Notes:

Tolkientober 2026, prompt #18: FAMILY TIES.
Fictober 2026, prompt #18: It’s just a small change.

I’m not a writer, English is not my first language and the fic is also unbetaed, so... Sorry! :D

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Elrond looked at his brother in disbelief: “I think I misheard you. Can you please repeat your last sentence?”

Elros sighed: “I said ‘It’s just a small change’.”

“Oh, then my hearing is fine. It’s your brain that doesn’t’ work anymore! A small change? A SMALL CHANGE?!? You decided to be mortal!”

“It’s in our blood, brother. We’re Half Elves. I just feel I’m more inclined to the other half. The Human one.”

He was right, of course. It was just a matter of choice.

Elrond’s anger deflated: “I know, you’re right. It’s just… I will miss you so much!”
