Full promt: If you had been able to choose, would you rather have been an only child or part of a very large family?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        If only he was here. Elrond looked up to the Numenorian tapestry that hung in Rivendell. It showed the royal family tree, and who sat proudly at the top, Elros Tar-Minyatur. The first King of Numenor, my brother. His raven hair fell down in front of his eyes. 

        He remembered his older brother fondly and often followed the advise he had given him over the years as best as he could.  Power is nothing, but a collar and a leash. Elros had said to him. You would do well to stay well away from it little brother.

        There was no one in this world he adored more so than his older brother. He loved Elros with all of his heart, but that was one more thing that Valar had ripped away from him. I wouldn't trade our time together for anything in the world. 

        Elrond was in manner part of a large family. He had only his mother, his father, and his brother, there were no others. Truly, he was my family. There were no others than my brother.

        Elros was his everything, even when he left Elrond to go and live with the Men of the North he had written letters to his brother and their communication never ceased until he died. Even then, it feels as if I am speaking with him when I consult my other half. His advise is all I have left of him, advise and memories.

        Elrond had often considered himself an only child when he truly was not. Though, he was oft alone while his brother was out adventuring or camping with the Men. That was why he had joined the kindred of the elves, because they were his kindred. He had grown up with the elves, yet his brother was someone that no elf could replace.

        I wish he had been immortal like I. His guidance over the years would have been irreplaceable. Elrond sighed, his first thought of going back to his rooms and reading a book, but he looked back up to the portrait of his brother and felt as if he did not have leave to go.

        My family, no matter it's problems, will always be my family. I would never ask to be an only child.
