Triumph
I stepped outside. Bright sunlight blinded me for a second. When I had adjusted to the light I started walking, past the white tree, and to the edge of my city. I looked downwards. I saw the tops of buildings and the streets bustling with people. My people.
I looked out over the green fields and thought, only a few months ago I was out there fighting for what I thought was right. Fighting for the freedom of middle earth.
How far I had come. All that time ago I was Strider, a shady ranger, who spoke to no one. But now I am Elessar; King of the Reunited Kingdom. I felt an overwhelming sense of pride wash over me.
Suddenly, I felt a presence beside me. I turned. It was my wife. My queen.
"Arwen," I spoke "This is going to be a good day."
