VICTORY
Galadriel touched the Ring on her finger. It was a burden; of that, there was no doubt. It had dominated her life for more years than she cared to count. She thought about how she had neglected so many other things because of her duty to Nenya.
Her husband had spent many of their nearly countless years together alone. She had been important because she wore a ring of power, because she protected Lothlórien, while it was he and his wisdom who really kept their people safe.
Celebrían had spent most of her time with her father. He taught her riding, archery and even taught her manners and courtly behavior. Galadriel had only realized when she married Elrond and moved away how much she missed her.
All of her life, she had been too busy with duties to all of Middle Earth to ever seem to perform any duties for her own family.
She looked at the Ring. It was still beautiful but soon, very soon, it would lose all its power. She knew not how the coming war would turn out, but she did know that whatever happened, she would finally be free.
For her, that would be victory.
