她的子嗣依旧还存活在这个世界上，据说她的血脉永远不会断绝。瑞文戴尔的爱隆就是她的子孙，因为贝伦和提努维尔生下了庭葛的继承人迪奥，迪奥的女儿白羽爱儿温又嫁给了埃兰迪尔，而他驾船航越了世界的海洋，进入苍穹之洋，精灵宝钻就系在他额上。埃兰迪尔和爱儿温生下了努曼诺尔的国王，也就是西方皇族之始。

精灵们很少会给人直接了当的忠告。忠告是种危险的礼物，即使是智者送给智者的忠告都会因为命运的捉弄而出轨。精灵们有自己的目标和包袱，我们极少关切哈比人，或是世界上其他生物的命运。不管是巧合或是刻意，我们和其他人的命运都极少交会。我们的会面可能不只是巧合，但我还不太明白背后的意义

他停了下来，沉默了片刻。然后，一语不发地转过身，将宴会场上的帐篷以及灿烂的灯光笑语抛在脑后，三名伙伴跟着他穿过花园，走下斜坡上的小径。他跳过山丘底一处低地的矮篱笆，踏上了草地，像吹过的沙沙的风般融入暗夜之中。

天色越来越暗，树丛中的树叶发出飒飒细响。铃铛的声音越来越清晰，伴随着叮铃当啷的撞击声和急促的马蹄声。突然间，有匹白马放佛流星般奔过众人眼下的大道，在暮色中可以看见它马笼头上点缀有许多亮晶晶的饰品，仿佛缀满了如同星辰一样的宝石。骑士的斗篷在他身后翻飞，褪下的兜帽让他的金发在空中舞动。在佛罗多的眼中，这骑士身体内似乎有种白光内蕴，像是透过丝绸一般，隐隐地散发而出。
