This was inspired by another of Tolkien's works. This story was quite a sad one

(may contain spoiler and I paraphrased it if memory serves me right )

Luthien, who is an elf maiden with the blood of a Valar was the only daughter of Thingol and Melian. She fell in love with a mortal man, Beren. Thingol believing that a mere mortal man cannot possibly be worthy for the love of Luthien send him on an impossible task to obtain one of the Silmarils (a very special jewel) on the crown of Morgoth (an evil overlord) and only shall he give the blessing to their marriage. Determined, Beren went on a quest to retrieve the Silmaril however not without roadblocks. Luthien, sensing her beloved was in great peril wanted to go to Beren's aid but her leaving was betrayed by her friend to Thingol and so her father locked her up to keep her in the safety of their home. With her Valar powers, she managed to escape but was captured on the way once more. She had help from a hound named Huan in her escape. Together, they went to Beren's aid.

Again with her powers, she put all of Morgoth's creatuers and Morgoth himself to sleep. Beren then used a special blade to cut out one of the Silmarils.. He then tried to remove another but the blade broke and chipped Morgoth on the cheek awakening him. As they attempted to escape, the gate was guarded by a werewolf who later bit off Beren's hand and swallowed the Silmaril with it. He was then burned by the Silmaril and ran away. In the end, the eagles came and assisted with their escape.

They managed to return home and told Thingol of all that has happened and it left Thingol's heart softened and allowed for their marriage even though Beren didn't return with the jewel. Later, Beren and Huan decided to track that werewolf but was already in the city wreaking havoc due to the jewel in his stomach. Beren and Huan tried to stop him and succeeded but got killed in the process. Before Beren's death, he slit open the werewolf's belly and retrieved the jewel and handed it to Thingol. Grieving, Luthien died too as a result.

She came to the hall of Mandos and sang of songs that she will never see Beren again. Mandos was moved by only this one time and consulted with Iluvatar and Luthien was then given two options; to live in the land of the immortal and forget all her grief and enjoy eternal happiness with her people or return to the land of Middle Earth together with Beren to be a mortal herself, accepting whatever unknown faith awaits them. And so she picked the latter.

Her parents grieved over her choice knowing the doom of mortality were written in her eyes ad they would be parted forever...

** This is me... imagining Luthien and Beren's spirit meeting at the western shores and being reborn into mortals.
