But as the days went by, it grew on me and I could not set it aside. He offered, not what I would have wished for, but what I truly needed. And he was right. I could walk away with honour from the endless war and leave it in the capable hands of my successor, General Keenspear. After a week of hesitating, I told Snappy that I would accept. He grinned his oh-so-familiar grin and said "I knew you would." Then he faded from view and I felt a pang of parting. Perhaps I shall see him again, one last time, before the end. I hope so.My new husband, the King, is a good elf and his people have welcomed me into their forests. The enchantments are strong but I fear they will not hold forever and my hope is that after my lifetime and the lifetimes of our children have passed into legend, a new hero will arise to fend off the foes who perennially threaten our lands. But that is for the future. I must end now, for there is a feast to organise and I must summon my personal wizard.J</blockquote>
