Hey guys, this is the last chapter and its been a long time coming. I am planning on doing a small epilogue which I will add sometime later this week. I hope you enjoy the chapter and any suggestions for improvements will be much appreciated.
Love to you all,
Mayday xx
They were now being surrounded by orcs on all sides till there was an entire ring around them.
"Is this really the time to be asking?" Solaris asked getting down from her horse as all the others did.
"I think its marvellous timing" Fili said jumping to the floor also.
"Stand your ground" Aragorn shouted.
"What do you say?" Fili asked.
"Yes, off course I'll marry you" Solaris smiled and bent to kiss her lion. Gimli gave her a shove as he came to stand next to her. He gave her wink when she looked down at him.
"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with elves" he said.
"What about side by side with friends?" Legolas asked and then looked over at Solaris. She gave him a smile and a nod and then looked back down at Gimli.
"We're not going to die today" she said looking down at Fili. "It's not our time yet"
"I'll take your word for that lassie" Gimli said.
In-front Aragorn lowered his sword and turned to look at them with tears in his eyes. "For Frodo" he said and then lifted his sword and charged the orcs.
"FOR FRODO!" the rest shouted and followed their king into battle.
"The eagles have come to our aid once again!" Kili shouted as an eagle soared low and then swooped high to take out a Nazgul with its sharp talons.
"They aren't the only ones, look!" Merry shouted and they glanced around to see another small army charging towards them. In the lead was a tall, dark, long haired dwarf with a sword raised by his head.
"It's Thorin!" Fili shouted. "Thorin!"
Solaris watched with a grin as the dwarven king yelled a battle cry and then launched himself along with his army into the throng of the fight. She then spotted two tall, dark haired fighters behind him.
"My brothers!" Solaris said as Elladan and Elrohir jumped into battle alongside the King under the Mountain. With new found energy Solaris plunged her sword into an orc's face and then swung the sword back into the belly of an orc behind her.
"Solaris!" she heard her name being called. She spun around and saw Bug standing on a raised bit of rock. "Look"
She followed to where he was pointing and out the dust came at least twenty large animals.
"Fen!" Solaris shouted as she made out the figure of the large black wolf. Her eyes then caught sight of an even bigger animal. It looked like a bear and Solaris grinned. "Beorn" she whispered but quickly whipped around to clash swords with an orc. Bug was laughing and jumping up and down with excitement as the pack of wolves and Beorn went teeth first into the fight.
"Trolls!" Aragorn yelled.
"Kili!" Solaris shouted and the young dwarf nodded. Solaris ran ahead and caught the attention of one of the trolls by darting in-front of it. While it was intent on smashing her with its large hammer Kili ran up behind and put three arrows into the back of the troll's head. They suddenly heard a shout and turned to see the tower that held Sauron's eye crumble. As it tumbled to the ground all the trolls and orcs turned and fled from the field.
"Frodo!" Merry yelled with happiness as the tower fell the rest of the walls and towers around Mordor collapsed around them.
"He's done it" Solaris said.
But all happiness turned to horror as they watched the mountain turn to lava and start to shake.
"Frodo" Pippin wailed as they watched chunks of lava plummet through the sky.
...
"You look stunning" Fili said as he came out the refreshment room. Solaris was stood in-front of the mirror looking at her reflection. She was wearing a fresh blue tunic and brown leggings. She was wearing armour that gleamed in the light and her hair was plaited neatly to the sides of her head thanks to Fili.
"You look like a Queen" Fili said. He was dressed in the finest breeches and tunic with shining silver armour over the top.
"I don't feel stunning" Solaris said, her eyes glazed over her silver scar.
Fili sighed "I have something here that might make you feel better" he said walking over to her.
Out his pocket he brought a small silver ring that had a topaz jewel encrusted in the middle. Solaris held her breath as Fili took her hand and placed it onto her ring finger.
"Fili, it's beautiful" she said.
"I've been meaning to give it to you for a while" Fili said. His eyes then rested to the chain she wore around her neck. Hanging in the middle of it was another silver ring. Solaris saw his gaze and she took the ring on the chain into her palm. "Haldir gave it to me" she said. Looking down at her hand she opened her palm and looked at the ring.
"You don't have to throw it away" Fili said "He was a bog part of your life, I don't expect you to just abandon it"
Solaris blinked at him, she then put her hand onto his shoulder and pressed her forehead to his. "Know that I love you" she said "Always"
"Always" Fili whispered back and pressed his lips to hers.
There was then a knock at the door and Kili poked his head inside.
"It's almost time" he said "Whoa, get a room"
"We've got a room" Fili growled as he turned to look at his brother who was smiling mischievously.
"Well lucky I came in time" Kili said "Otherwise you might have undressed her and you'd be late"
"Get lost" Solaris said picking up a cushion and chucking it at the door. With a laugh Kili was gone.
The couple were met by Kili, Thorin and Bug at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the top of a newly restored Minas Tirith. Without hesitation Solaris walked over to Thorin and pulled him into her arms. He was a little taken aback at first but then hugged the elf tightly.
"Thank you" she said pulling back and looking down at him "For coming to our aid"
"I owed you a favour" Thorin said and Solaris smiled. "You look like a Queen may I say" he added.
"I thought you'd be wearing a dress" Kili said.
"I don't do dresses" Solaris said.
"You will on your wedding day" Kili said raising his eyebrows at Solaris's hand. The others looked down at her hand and then cheered.
"Congratulations!" Bug said excitedly.
"Thank you" Solaris nodded.
"I am pleased for you both" Thorin said looking from Solaris to his nephew. "Dis on the other hand has a bone to pick with you" Thorin said looking back to the elf.
"Oh" Solaris said.
"She is willing to know why her sons charged into battle without having gone to see her first, she holds you solely responsible" Thorin said.
"The wrath of Dis" Solaris said and Thorin laughed.
"Good luck, my sister is a force not to be reckoned with"
"Pray for my life" Solaris said and they all laughed gently.
A horn then blew and they all looked at the top of the stairs. "That's our cue" Buy said.
Taking Fili's hand Solaris took a deep breath. "Let's go" she said.
Aragorn's coronation was truly heart-warming.
"Now come the days of the King" Gandalf said as he lowered a crown onto Aragorn's head and once he stood and turned around the people erupted with cheers and clapping for their king.
"This day does not belong to one man" Aragorn said. "But to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace"
Everyone clapped and confetti rained down on them. "Look" Kili said nudging Solaris's side and pointing over to Faramir, Boromir's younger brother and Eowyn.
"Ahh" Solaris whispered.
"Et Eдrello Endorenna utъlien.
Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn'
Ambar-metta! "
Aragorn sung softly and then walked down between the people. Faramir and Eowyn bowed their heads. Eomer walked forwards and bowed also. When he got to them Solaris, Thorin, Kili, Fili and Bug lowered their heads.
"Please don't bow" Aragorn said. "You have all saved this world and for that I am forever grateful"
"I would do it all again my King" Solaris said.
"Not too soon eh Laris?" Kili said and they all laughed gently.
"Here comes blondie" Bug said nodding to Legolas as the elf walked forwards.
After Aragorn and Legolas greeted each other Legolas stepped aside and revealed Lord Elrond.
"Atar" Solaris whispered and the Elven Lord nodded to her. Behind him was Elladan and Elrohir, they had a few small cuts but that was all the evidence of the battle they showed. They both looked to their little sister and nodded their heads. Solaris nodded her head in retun and then cast her eyes to a banner that was being held in-front of her Father. Slowly the banner lowered to reveal Arwin. Tears came to Solaris's eyes as she watched Aragorn and her sister embrace. A hand gripped her own and Fili smiled at her.
"Are you happy?" he asked.
"Very much so" Solaris nodded and looked back to her family. She looked at Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir, she looked to Aragorn and Arwen, she then looked at Legolas standing behind them and behind him was Eomer. Further back were the four hobbits and then behind her was Thorin, Bug, Fen and Kili. Her eyes finally rested back to Fili "I am very happy" she whispered.
So that's at for now folks. As I said I will add and epilogue some point later this week so look out for that. I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has joined me on this journey which started with The Hobbit: Anywhere for you. I never dreamed that I would write this much and come this far. I love everyone on the characters but especially Solaris, I feel that she's grown from being a young elfling into a woman who is respected but also loved. Thank you too all my reviewers, especially horvath70 and Channey for reviewing often. The support you guys have given me has been fantastic.
Love as always
Mayday xxx
