Chapter Twenty-One
Rhiadrieal curled up next to Legolas. "Why does a person love another person?" Rhiadrieal asked softly.
"I do not know, I think it just happens," Legolas replied after thinking about it.
"Then how can we be sure that it's truly love?"
"Do you like asking such hard questions at night?" Legolas demanded.
"Well?" Rhiadrieal inquired.
"Do you?"
"Stop dodging the question!" Rhiadrieal said, laughing.
"I believe its love because, if we were to be separated, I would die to see you one more time. And if you were to die, I would gladly join you in death," Legolas, replied, kissing her.
"Would you? I believe, I know, that I would as well," Rhiadrieal replied, resting her head on his chest.

Elrond stood in his bedroom, looking out a window. "Elrond?" he heard a soft voice behind him ask. He turned and saw Mith standing there, looking much like a remorseful puppy.
"Yes?" he asked, half snapping.
He saw Mith visibly flinch and then walk closer. "I'm sorry about this afternoon, I did not mean to be so harsh. I am just worried."
"It is alright, Mellon-nîn," he replied. "I will not let myself get killed."
"I should trust you I guess. I am here more to talk about Mithrandir though," Mith admitted.
"What about him?" Elrond asked.
Mith took a deep breath and started.
***
"Rhiadrieal?" Legolas asked suddenly.
"Hmm?" she asked.
"What would you say if I were to ask you to marry me?" Legolas asked softly, stroking her hair.
Rhiadrieal opened her mouth and blinked in surprise.
***
"I met Gandalf once," Mith admitted.
"How did I not know this?" Elrond asked.
"I never had the chance to tell you and he never found the need to tell you, I guess," Mith told him. "I was in wolf form, actually hunting wargs. I stumbled across him, I do not believe he recognized me as a Wyr, and he tried to kill me. I shifted back to human form, and, you know me, when I'm alone, I forever have a dagger near me. So, I attacked. He managed to break my right arm, but I came close to slashing his throat, right before I realized that he was an Istari. It was a serious misunderstanding and I never had a chance to apologize, I was frightened to."
"You should apologize, I have a feeling Gandalf will understand," Elrond said.
"And if he doesn't?" Mith inquired.
"He will," Elrond reassured her. "Now let's go find him."
***
Rhiadrieal closed her mouth and then replied, "I think I would say yes."
"Are you sure?" Legolas asked.
Rhiadrieal nodded.
"Will you marry me?" Legolas asked.
"What do you think, silly?" Rhiadrieal laughed. "I just said that if you asked I would say yes. Of course I will, I love you. So, why shouldn't I?' She pushed herself up and kissed him. "Do really think I wouldn't marry you?"
"I wasn't sure," Legolas admitted.
"Tomorrow we're going to have to tell Ada, and the rest of my family. Plus send for yours," Rhiadrieal said.
A/N: Yep, it was bound to happen. Next chapter ends the story! And knowing me, I'll give a somewhat unsatisfactory ending (they actually could be endings but, people would hate me for them.)
