The time had come two years had gone by, the ring bearers were leaving Middle-earth forever.

"I will miss you Frodo Baggins." I whispered kneeling in front of the hobbit and hugging him tightly.

Encircling his arms around me, Frodo returned the hug sadly. "I will miss you as well Shealyn." He replied. "Take care of Aragorn and Arwen." He added.

Nodding I moved back to stand with the other hobbits who had already said their goodbyes and were weeping openly.

Off to the side I saw Arwen speaking with her father and grandmother along with the twins as they prepared to depart for Valinor.

Gandalf was speaking with Aragorn along with Legolas and Gimli who had come back from their adventures to say farewell.

"May the Valar protect you child." Galadriel said startling me out of my thoughts.

"Farewell Lady Galadriel." I responded as the lady of the wood brought me into an embrace.

~Watch over my granddaughter and son-in-law~ I heard her voice in my thoughts say.

Smiling, I nodded taking my place next to Aragorn as the ring bearers went aboard the ship.

We stood there silently watching the ship disappear over the horizon. As I stood there I felt this sense of emptiness inside like there had been a death in the family. In all reality that's the way you could look at it. They were gone forever never to return.

"Come Shealyn, let us go home." Aragorn called as he helped his wife mount her horse.

~Namaarie~ I thought taking one last look at the ocean I turned and easily mounting my horse.

Two years later...

Gentle warm light seeped through the window landing directly on my face. "Too early..." I mumbled pulling the covers over my head.

The sound of little feet padding across the floor alerted me to the presence within my room, but I moved to slowly. The air was knocked out of me as a small being landed on my stomach squealing excitedly.

"Wake up Lyn." A tiny voice demanded as little hands pulled the sheets away from my body.

"Darion it's too early." I moaned turning over onto my stomach.

Eldarion would have none of it. He grabbed my arm and tugged it incessantly. Closing my eyes I sighed. "Alright, alright you little monster I'm up, I'm up." I mumbled swinging my legs to the side of the bed and standing up.

Scrambling off the bed Eldarion wrapped his tiny arms around my knees and giggled. "Darion where is your nursemaid?" I asked bending down to scoop the two year old in my arms.

"Lyn pway wif me." He demanded ignoring my question.

Before I could answer the door swung open revealing a very flustered nursemaid. "There you are Prince Eldarion." She cried coming forward and taking the child into her arms. "Don't you ever scare me like that again." She ordered. "I am sorry Miss Shealyn about young Eldarion I should have been watching him more closely.

"It's alright." I answered

The nursemaid smiled. "Come young prince let us go get ready for the new day." She said to the little boy as she left the room.

Smiling I shook my head and went to the dresser. I pulled out a pair of black breeches and a cream colored shirt. I dressed quickly pulling on my boots last.

Taking one last look around the room I smiled as I left the room to start another day in Middle-earth.

*** I'm sorry for it being so short. It's only the prologue. I hope you liked! ***
