Chapter 25: A Miracle and a Wedding
Elrond did all he could to help Losse. Legolas rarely left Losse's side. She was fading in front of him. Tears were welling up in his eyes as he looked into her eyes. He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips before singing to her. "Anírach únad Egor gurth hen Han cenin vi chen lín Egor ú-erin le devi Tellin men achae Brennin men anann. Rago! Ú-erich leithio, Ú-erich o nin gwanno," he sang softly. (You want nothing more than this death. I see it in your eye. But I cannot let you We have come too far We have held on too long. Reach! You cannot let go, You cannot leave me.) Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at her. He stroked her hand and looked into her face. "Losse, I love you, please don't leave me," he whispered. He kissed her forehead and then he got up from the chair and stood out on the balcony.
Her eyes opened, all she could see was blurry for a minute before her vision was clear. She looked around her surroundings and felt pain shoot through her side. She looked over at the balcony and saw her beloved Legolas standing there. "Legolas," she said softly. Legolas turned and saw Losse awake and alive. Legolas hurried over and gently took her into his arms. Losse cried into his shoulder. "She tried to kill me, Legolas, she actually tried to kill me in my own home," she sobbed.
"Hush, hush, it's all right. I wasn't going to let anything happen to you. Morie is being punished for her crime," he assured.
"I'm so glad. She wants you, Legolas, she'll stop at nothing until she has you even if it means to kill me," she reminded.
"She'll be punished for her crime, she'll never again leave Gondor. She'll stay here and rot in her prison cell. Nothing can tear our love apart. I love you Losse, more than my life."
"I love you too."
He kissed her forehead and held her close to him. The door opened and Aragorn saw his daughter lying in Legolas' arms, weeping. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Losse," he sighed. Losse looked at her father before embracing him. Aragorn embraced Losse and smiled at Legolas before holding her close. Arwen came into the room and she was taken into the embrace as well. They were all glad that Losse was all right, now they had to tell the city that their princess was doing just fine.
Aragorn stood in front of his people and they waited for their king to speak. "Two days ago, a jealous maiden attempted murder on our princess. The maiden is locked up and our princess is doing just fine. Losse," Aragorn announced. Losse stood up and walked beside her father. The people in Minas Tirith clapped and cheered to see that their princess was just fine. She yelped when Legolas picked her up into a carrying position and kissed her passionately on the lips. Everyone was happy that the Princess was getting married soon.
Three Weeks Later
Losse was standing in her room getting ready for the wedding when there was a knock on the door. Melde walked over to answer the door. She stepped aside and let Arwen enter the room. "Mother," Losse said with a smile. Arwen walked over and hugged her daughter tight.
"Your father and I are going to miss you when you leave for Mirkwood," Arwen sighed.
"I won't be leaving until the day after my birthday," Losse said.
Arwen froze, she remembered what Arne had asked almost nineteen years ago. To tell Losse about her and Taratar on the eve of her nineteenth birthday. Losse's birthday was two months away. Losse stopped what she was doing and looked at Arwen. "Mother, what is it?" She asked.
"It's nothing, only a mother's worry that's all," Arwen half-lied.
Losse nodded and continued to get ready for the wedding. Arwen stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You'll be happy with Legolas, I can see it now," Arwen said.
"I know I'll be happy, thank you mother," Losse said.
The two of them hugged with smiles on their faces. Then the time came for Losse to leave. Losse looked at Arwen with a gentle smile. "I'll see you later, mother," Losse said. Arwen nodded and once Losse left the room, Arwen fell to the floor in tears. She feared that when the time came for them to tell Losse of her real parents that she wouldn't love them anymore. Aragorn came into the room and saw his beloved wife on the floor.
"Arwen, what ails you?" He asked.
"Losse is turning nineteen in two months," she sobbed.
Aragorn kneeled next to her and pulled her into his arms. "We knew that the time was coming soon. Don't worry, she'll love us just the same as she has during the past almost nineteen years," he comforted. He helped her stand up and smiled at her. "You have nothing to worry about, melamin, she'll love us like she always has," he whispered. He kissed her quickly on the lips before leaving to walk Losse down the aisle.
Losse smiled and hugged her father tight when he came over to her. "You look beautiful," he whispered.
"Thank you," she whispered back.
She wore a tiara pull of diamonds with a diamond was sitting upon her brow, the diamond necklace that once belonged to her Grandmother, Celebrían, a white mantle with golden lining, a beautiful white silk gown with golden trimming, and white shoes.
They smiled at each other and Aragorn knew it was time to let his beloved daughter go. Losse looped her arm through Aragorn's as he walked her down the aisle.
Legolas smiled when he saw his beloved walking down the aisle. He wore the attire he wore when they were reunited. Aragorn clasped Losse's hand into Legolas' and placed a hand over their hands. "Protect her and love her forever," Aragorn informed. Legolas nodded with a smile. Aragorn kissed Losse's cheek and sat down next to Arwen. Then Gandalf went through the speeches before Legolas was able to say his wedding vows. Legolas took a deep breath and held onto her hands.
"Losse, ever since I met you two almost three years ago, I fell deeply in love with you. You became my best friend and then when the time of the war against Sauron and Saruman came, I knew I had to protect you. However, I saw that you are a strong, brave, and very skilled woman. You saved my life twice in battle, but you saved my life everyday since the day I met you. I can never love someone else, you are my one true love, Losse, and I'll always love you until the end," he explained with a smile.
Losse held onto Legolas' hands and looked deeply into his beautiful blue eyes. "Legolas, ever since I saw you on my birthday, I knew that you were the best thing that ever happened to me. You told me many things and you told me something that was true. The strong people do survive, but I know that we have been through the hardships in our relationship because of the war. That still didn't make me stop loving you. My love for you is stronger than any spear, sword, or arrow. I'll love you until the end of time," she explained with a tear falling from her eye. Legolas wiped the tear away with a gentle smile. Gandalf said another speech and waved his staff above their heads. Then he placed a mithril ring into Legolas' hand. Legolas lifted Losse's left hand up and slipped the ring onto her finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed Princess Losse, daughter of King Elessar," he said.
Losse smiled and took the other mithril ring into hand. She held Legolas' hand up and slipped the ring onto his finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed Prince Legolas, son of King Thranduil," she said.
Gandalf smiled at the happy couple and placed a hand on theirs. "Before me today, I have never seen such a happier couple. By the powers of the Valar, I now pronounce you husband and wife," he said. Legolas wrapped his arms around Losse's waist and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Losse slipped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. The guests all clapped for the new married couple. When they pulled from the kiss, they hugged each other tight with happiness in their eyes. Then their guests came to congratulate them. Losse looked up when Éomer and his wife, Lothíriel came over to congratulate them. Losse hugged Éomer tight with a smile. Éomer hugged her back and kissed the side of her head.
"You are a beautiful bride, Losse, daughter of Aragorn," Éomer complimented.
"Thank you, and I see that there is going to be a new Prince or Princess in the Golden Hall," Losse said with a grin.
Lothíriel placed a hand on her stomach with a gentle smile. "Yes, the baby is due some point around spring," she said.
"I'm sure the child will be beautiful," Losse stated.
"Thank you," Lothíriel said.
Legolas wrapped an arm around Losse's waist with a smile. "Together at last," he whispered. Losse nodded and leaned against him.
"We'll be together forever and beyond," she sighed.
Legolas kissed the top of her head before going over to their guests for the celebration of their marriage.
During the party, Aragorn stood up from his chair and walked over to Losse. He held his hand out to her with a gentle smile. "With your permission, mellon, I would like to dance with the bride," Aragorn requested.
"As long as I have your permission to dance with your wife," Legolas shot back.
The three of them laughed before Aragorn danced with Losse. Losse placed her head against Aragorn's shoulder with a smile. "I'm going to miss you when you leave," he whispered.
"Mother said the same thing," she sighed.
"It seems only yesterday you were only an infant and now here you are a full-grown woman and married to your father's best friend."
Losse kissed her father's cheek with a smile. "I love you, father," she said. Aragorn held her tight with a sigh.
"I love you too, Losse," he said.
Losse looked over at Legolas and Arwen with a smile as they danced their way towards them. "May we cut in?" Legolas asked. The two of them switched partners and Losse watched her parents danced with glowing eyes. Legolas smiled to see the happiness in her eyes. Now that the war was over and things. "I love you, Losse," he whispered.
"I love you too, Legolas," she whispered back.
Legolas then pulled her into a passionate kiss to seal their love for each other.
AN: If you're thinking that's it you're wrong. I still have a few chapters to go. I'm going all the way up to the day that Aragorn dies then I'll stop. Until then, I have a few chapters to write. See you later. :) :):):):):)
