The chill wind howled endlessly, slowing blood, numbing thought. Wet. When last had he been dry? Unlike his father, he had not heeded great Námo's words. His siblings were all eager for adventure, there were elves here who followed Finarfin, not Fingolfin and his sons. Duty chosen above love, he had pressed the silver ring into his father’s hand. “Tell her I release her, and why I can no longer send for her when it is safe. Tell her - for me, there will be no other.” 

Now, witness to Turgon's grief, he gave thanks that Amarië had remained behind.

I'm such a sucker for Finrod/Amarie fics so I couldn't help but click on this story. ;) You did very well in creating Finrod's thoughts.

"Tell her - for me, there will be no other.” This line is so touching... I've always thought of Finrod as a romantic.

Thanks for writing!

And thank you for reviewing :) I've always thought it was so sad that they had no idea how total their separation would be when he left, but when I was writing this I could imagine Finrod giving thanks that she was in a safe place. And not just while he was crossing the Ice but any number of times afterwards.

Sorry, lol... rambling.  Really glad you enjoyed it.
