This is my first story, I hope it pleases you all.
Summary: This chapter is about the death of Aragorn and the end of the fellowship. It is the first chapter of my story, and though it would seem it has nothing to do with my characters it needs to tie in with my further chapters. If I get good feedback I will continue with the rest.
------------------The Lost Baby-------------------
Chapter 1
Legolas and Gimli knelt down beside Arwen in the dead house, at the bed of Aragorn 'The Great King Elessar'.
"You summoned us good friend?" asked Legolas in his fair elven voice.
"I wished to say goodbye to you, my friends," he paused turning to Arwen, who rose slowly.
"I will return my love." And she left in search of her son, Eldarion. He turned back to Legolas,
"I grew up with the elves, and it gives me great pleasure to depart with one."
"Thank you Aragorn, but it is greater comfort to me to be there when you depart." And he bowed down low. Aragorn's gaze then fell up on Gimli,
"Ah Gimli; the elf friend, in all my travels I never met a dwarf so kind as you. You have made Gloin proud."
"It gives me pleasure to know you think so highly of me." And he too bowed low. "You two will soon be the remainder of the fellowship of the ring, and I suppose you will continue your adventures without me." He stopped as Arwen entered with his son and daughters.
"I wish Meriadoc 'The Magnificent' and Thain Peregrin to lay with me in death." And with a last goodbye to all he lay back and slept to his death.
"Farewell Elessar," waid Gimli
"Goodbye Aragorn, 'The Great'," whispered Legolas and they left the bedside, weeping.
"Goodbye father," cried his daughters and they too left.
"Farewell Aragorn, Son of Arathorn, Lord of the Dunadian," Said Eldarion sorrowfully. And he followed his sisters, leaving Arwen alone with Aragorn.
"Estel, Estel!" she cried bitterly, for her love for Aragorn was deep. Finally she resolved to leave Minas Tirith forever. After saying goodbye to her son and daughters she rode to Lorien and dwelt there alone until the end of her days, for Celeborn and Galadriel had passed on to the Grey Havens.
Legolas and Gimli traveled to Ithilien after Aragorn died and Arwen departed. And there they resolved to join Frodo, Sam, Gandalf and to Gimli's delight the Lady Galadriel. Instead of traveling over land as Gimli would have preferred Legolas followed the desire of his heart; and decided to sail across the sea. So he and Gimli built a great grey ship, which by craft was not unlike the boat the company traveled down the Anduin in, but this ship was of much larger size, and quality. Many marveled at it, and many believed that the Lady Galadriel had had some hand in the making of it.
And so it was that on 19 of Forelithe by shire reckoning, a month after the flight of Arwen, Legolas and Gimli said farewell to there friends and sailed overseas to the Grey Havens. This was a strange tale to many, for no-one believed that a dwarf would be willing to leave middle earth, nor that the Eldar should receive him. But it is said that Galadriel had some say in the matter, and had she not Gimli still would have traveled beside Legolas, for their friendship was greater than any had ever been and ever will be between elf and dwarf. And with them left the end of the fellowship of the ring, and there tale gradually passed with them from the minds of men, hobbits and dwarves, it remained only to elves as a myth.
