Spring in Middle Earth
Fourth Age
After the ring was destroyed, Aragorn was king of Gondor, Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo have left with the elves and peace has returned to Middle Earth, it was finally spring. As Legolas had promised, he went with some elves to Gondor to help with the construction work. Also Gimli came with some dwarfs to help with the renewal of the city wall. Thanks to the elves the gardens shone in all their splendor and the flowers and trees were blooming. The dwarfs made their work too and helped the people to build new houses. As thanks to his friends Aragorn made a big feasting to which he invited also Merry, Pippin, Sam, Eomer, Eowyn, and many other friends.
The evening was wonderful, all the guests danced and celebrated themselves magnificently. Some chatted, while others, like Merry and Pippin, ate of the huge buffet. As the celebration was drawing to the end, Aragorn gathered Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin to a large balcony and together they looked at the night sky. I love spring, pippin muttered. Aragorn turned to him and raised an eyebrow: me too, the others nodded. Then Legolas said: The gardens bloom again, and the trees get green leaves and everything wich was dried up in the autumn filled with new life again, it seems as if the flower laugh to the sun. And it is finally getting warm, added Gimli. Everyone laughed. They remained on the balcony and talked until finally the sun rose on the horizon. It was a very beautiful sunrise and every thought of the journey with the fellowship of the ring, and at all what they had been through together.
