Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction
Relief
Aragorn grumbled as he tried, once again, to get comfortable in the dwarf sized chair. It had been seven days since the elves and Gandalf attempted to remove Sauron from Thranduil's mind and Legolas was still unconscious. Galadriel and Elrond had done all they could but still, the elf prince did not wake. The ranger gripped LEgolas' hand in his own.
"Please 'Las. Wake up. Let me see those pretty blue eyes again. You're still so young. You can't die yet."
Aragorn rested his head on the side of the bed. He'd barely slept the past seven days. Just a little nap, he told himself. A few minutes sleep was all he needed.
Aragorn woke to a dark room and fingers smoothing his hair. Wait, fingers? He raised his head to find a pair of blue eyes staring back.
"Legolas. Thank the Valar you're alright!"
"My father. Did it work?"
"Yes a'mael. Your father survived and Sauron was weakened."
"Weakened? He wasn't killed."
"No. Galadriel thinks he will not be completely destroyed until that ring of his is melted."
"And no one knows where that is."
"Legolas, it is a concern for another day. All I care is that your okay."
Legolas smiled at his fiancée and pulling the human down, pressed a kiss to Aragorn's lips.
"I am tired and sore and I do not want to leave this bed for a month. But I am happy. My father is safe and I have you beside me beloved. Come, lay with me."
Aragorn lay on the bed beside the prince, pulling Legolas into his chest so the elves head rested over his heart. He knew listening to his heartbeat helped Legolas sleep.
"You must rest. Get some sleep. I will be here when you wake up."
Galadriel stepped away from Thranduil's bed,leaving the king to his rest. She knew Elrond would look after his king. Gandalf was waiting for her in the hall.
"I know what you want Gandalf."
"And what is that?"
"You want to know about Bilbo. If his fate has changed."
"And? Has it?"
"The hobbit is safe Gandalf. Him coming here has changed many fates. Thranduil should have fallen under the control of Sauron, leading Middle Earth into war. Thorin would still be a beast. Without the dwarves, Sauron would have Erebor and a breeding place for an army of orcs the likes we have never seen. Congratulations Gandalf. Your hobbit has saved Middle Earth."
A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, Thranduil speaks to Thorin and Elrond and Bilbo receives some surprising news.
