Warnings/Content: Angst (family loss and grieving) but also comfort.

Notes: Shoutout to my brother, he came up with the idea of Elrond chasing his father's star and I just had to write it. Elrond is just a baby, must protect.

Young Elrond gets lost chasing a star, but he is found by someone that comforts him and helps him find his way back home.

There was a starry sky over Elrond's head when he began to run. Thousands and thousands of stars filled the skies, but the young half-elf only had eyes for one, a new star that twinkled brighter than the rest. Father. He had dreamed of it. He had seen it shining on the top of a high cliff by the sea. 

He had been running uphill all night. He was strong, but his anguish and desperation exhausted him greatly. He didn't care, he didn't care about anything but getting to the summit of that cliff, he needed to reach it, to reunite with his father, to hear his voice one last time. Father.
