Muy brillante era aquella espada cuando fue recompuesta; la luz del sol brillaba rojiza en ella, y la luz de la luna brillaba fría, su filo era duro y afilado. Y Aragorn le dio un nuevo nombre y la llamó Andúril, Llama del Oeste.

I can feel it. I don’t feel like I’m missing a part of me anymore.” “I felt it too.” Jace took a ragged breath. “Something missing. I felt it, even with Sebastian, but I didn’t know what it was I was missing. But it was you. My parabatai.
