XXIV – The Days of The King

Bold Italics is the language of the Elves.

Frodo woke up the next day with Gandalf at his bedside. After that Merry and Pippin came in smiling and jumped on his bed. Gimli came in to visit next and Legolas and Susan followed. Haldir, Peter and Edmund came in next with Aragorn and Lucy and Sam were last. All the fellowship, besides Boromir, and new and old friends were together again.

Frodo was very happy to see everyone. They spent the next couple of hours telling him all about there travels and Frodo, Lucy and Sam told them what happened to them. Later that night the other elves arrived.

Susan got to spend time with Lord Elrond and Arwen, who was hiding from Aragorn until the coronation. She also met the Mirkwood elves along with Legolas' brothers and sisters. Two of Legolas' sisters became quite taken with Peter and Edmund and they with them.

Susan smiled as she watched them as they talked hoping that maybe she wasn't the only one of her siblings. Susan also noticed that Lucy was actually quite taken with Haldir as well and he with her, perhaps there was future there when Lucy was older.

Legolas' family were all very accepting and told her that his father was looking forward to meeting her. He had heard that his son had found love with the gentle queen and that they planned to sail to the undying lands one day and he was ecstatic.

Eowyn also made a full recovery and her and Faramir were always seen together. She finally found the man she was meant for as well. Susan was happy that her family and friends were all getting there happy endings.

A week later everyone was dressed and standing in the courtyard to crown Gondor's new and rightful king. Arwen had stayed hidden behind a Gondor banner and was very nervous. Susan stood with her siblings next to Legolas, Haldir and Lord Elrond as the elves where all standing together.

Legolas was wearing his headdress as were the Pevensies, showing that they were in fact royalty as they watched Gimli stepped forward with the Gondorian crown upon a velvet pillow. Gandalf took the crown and slowly lowered it onto Aragorn's head.

"Now come the days of the king. May they be blessed." Gandalf proclaimed and Aragorn stepped up and slowly turned around to face everyone. Cheers erupted for all over as everyone clapped for there new king.

"This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace." Aragorn said before more cheers erupted from the people once more and he began to sing.

"Out of the Great Sea to Middle Earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the word." He sang before he made his way down the steps and through the people. Aragon bowed his head to certain people as he passed. Eomer was one of them, as he was a friend and the new king of Rohan. He did the same for Faramir, Eowyn, Peter, Edmund and Lucy.

As he drew closer, Susan and Legolas lead a group of elves to him. Aragorn embraced Susan in a hug and kissed her cheek before clasping shoulders with Legolas. Legolas gave him a smile as they bowed to each other.

"Aragorn." Legolas said quietly, before he tilted his head to the right. Aragorn looked at him and then at Susan in confusion. Susan winked at him and gave him a slight push as he walked over where he could see Lord Elrond, standing next to a Gondorian banner.

Slowly the Gondorian banner moved and Arwen came into view. Arwen stepped forward as Aragon did the same and they stopped right before each other. Aragorn took the banner from her and handed it to someone to his left as his eyes never left Arwen's.

Arwen bowed her head to him before he tilted her chin back up with his finger before moving forward and kissing her fiercely and everyone cheered again. Susan could feel silent tears of joy running down her cheeks as she clapped along with everyone else.

Legolas put his arms around her and drew her into a kiss as well. "I love you." Legolas told her. "As I love you." Susan said before they followed Aragorn and Arwen over towards the Hobbits. All four hobbits started to bow to Aragorn but he held up a hand for them to stop.

"My friends…" Aragorn said and the four hobbits stood straight and looked at him. "You bow to no one." He proclaimed before he kneeled and bowed deeply to them, with Arwen following suit.

Legolas and Susan along with her siblings were next to follow and before the Hobbits could even process what was happening, the hobbits looked around stunned as the entire court yard was kneeling before them in respect.

Later that day they had a huge party to celebrate everything. Susan and Legolas stayed in each others arms dancing and talking with there friends. Susan saw Lucy dancing with Haldir and her brothers dancing with Legolas' sisters and smiled at them. Everyone was happy and she couldn't be happier or more in love.
