'I desired to confess my treachery, and I have done so. There remains but one thing for me.

'I will seek for my wife and child, for Bravantel and Héol, no matter where they may be. I would suffer any hurt to see them again, and to know their fate, whether it be doom undeterred or rest finally achieved. Do they linger still in this world? I have to know. If I must consign myself to mindless oblivion in the effort, so be it. I face it without fear.'

Tárandil's form wavers uncertainly, and he addresses Isildur for the last time.

'Father, I do not seek your pardon. I know it could never be granted, and I would not ask it. But I wanted you to know how sorry I am. I have forgotten so much over the centuries, but that I never lost. That sorrow was always with me, even when all else was emptiness.'

The shade of Tárandil has made his decision: he will seek out Bravantel and Héol, no matter the torment it will cause him.
