My eyes became white, and my hair became blonde. It was only briefly. I opened my eyes and saw light. I felt tears come to my eyes. "Ariane, are you okay?" I turned to Eowyn and nodded.
"It's over. The Ring has been destroyed. Everyone is coming back- Gandalf, Gimli, Eomer, Aragorn, Legolas, Sam and Frodo too." Eowyn and Faramir were looking at me. "They're alive. All of our friends are coming back alive. I don't even think anyone got hurt badly."
I began to run to the doors of the palace area of Minas Tirith. I pushed my way out and went to the end of the courtyard. Eowyn and Faramir were shouting my name. When I reached the wall, I looked over it and gazed down at the returning soldiers. Almost the entire battalion was walking through the entryway. My eyes focused on Shadowfax where only Peregrin Took sat. I looked to the sky near Mordor. There was hardly any smoke other than what was coming from Mount Doom. Coming through the pillars of smoke and ash were the giant eagles.
Gandalf was on the back of one of the birds. In the eagle's talons lay Frodo, unconscious. The eagle on the left held Sam. "Ariane!" I looked behind me and Eowyn was smiling. She pointed down at the horses that were carrying the soldiers back. On the white horse that I would always ride sat a familiar Elf. "Go to him; he will be happy to see you."
Right after she had said this, I ran past her and headed to the staircase that led to the lower levels. I ran as fast as I could. The faster I would run, the sooner I would get to Legolas. When I was at the top of the third level, I looked over the edge to see where Legolas was. All the soldiers had begun to go up the second level of Minas Tirith. Starting to run again, laughter came from my mouth. I was almost to the bottom of the level I was on.
I pushed the doors that blocked the entrance and exit of the two levels. "Legolas!" He looked up and saw me running.
"Go to her laddie," I heard Gimli say. The ellon jumped off the horse. His feet were quiet as they hit the stone walkway just like mine were. As we reached each other, I jumped into his arms, and he spun the two of us around. Although there were tears in my eyes, I was smiling. Legolas stopped spinning, put my feet back on the ground, brought his hands to the sides of my face, and firmly planted his lips on mine.
I heard cheering behind us. We forgot that there were people behind us, but we didn't care. We only paid attention to the one we loved. Legolas broke the kiss. He looked at me smiling. Even his eyes smiled at me. "I love you, Ariane." Tears were still slowly cascading down my cheeks. He hugged me again and even tighter than before. Legolas put his mouth beside my ear. "I told you I wouldn't die." I laughed a little. I guess he was right.
