The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars. Venerable he seemed as a king crowned with many winters, and yet hale as a tried warrior in the fulness of his strength. He was the Lord of Rivendell and mighty among both Elves and Men.

Merry's Anger by Grey Wonderer
This is a small chapter which takes place just after Gandalf rides off on Shadowfax with Pippin in RETURN OF THE KING. I felt that there was a scene missing and this is my effort to correct that. I felt that there would be some sort of an exchange between Aragorn and Merry after they watched their friends ride off. Maybe it will be in the Extended DVD, but until then this is what I think might have happened. (Written for Marigold's Feb. Challenge)
