Elrond once again advises against planning too far ahead.

(You do know he advised against this in the books, right?)

Arahaelon goes to his sister's home, to visit her. He has just brought a family heirloom from Lindon, for her to protect it as she departs. His intentions for the heirloom, however, have changed.

"It is time for it to see battle again. It fought in every finishing battle against the dark lord, at the end of every age. In every battle, its owner has fought with it and died with it. I fear that as eldest child of us I might have inherited this task to be done, and if it is so I shall not reject it. Maicaril must glitter in battle once more."

As he said that, he unsheathed the glorious Gondolinian sword, and in the sun above (they were outdoors, on her house's balcony) shined upon its blade, and it glittered brightly. It is rumored that the blade was decorated with mithril, and its edges traced with it, to make it sharper. These rumors were true, but it was only a trace amount, and it was mostly for decoration and a little bit of extra sharpness. He sheathed it again, said his goodbyes, and went to pack his things.
