Disclaimers: See the Prologue for more information.
As it began in the Prologue, now we come full circle with Aaylie's POV in the Epilogue. This is also the last chapter of this story.
Epilogue:
Reunited at Valinor
At first, I thought commuting between worlds was the best idea. I still got to see Frodo and enjoy spending time with him in Middle-earth. Back at home, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in the Fine Arts. But somehow, my work led me to making commissions on characters from The Lord of the Rings, which was quite successful.
I had God on my side. In Middle-earth, Eru Ilúvatar blessed me with as many years as there was to be with Frodo. But naturally, time moved away from us. Frodo had the quest to Mordor to take on, and I couldn't get involved in that journey. And as it happened, I was separated from him in a time gap, which I couldn't enter.
For a long while, I nearly thought I'd lost hope. And for some reason, there was a car accident involved. And I was in it. But by then, all I could think of was traveling back to Middle-earth and seeing Frodo again. And by a miracle, Eru Ilúvatar took me to Valinor, where I was reunited with Frodo.
Frodo was glad to see me, so glad that we kissed for a long time. Before things become too… well, we ended up wed there. And since I was brought to Valinor, I couldn't leave its shores. So Frodo and I were blessed with two children: a boy and a girl. We named them Drogo and Primula.
Life was good. After Bilbo's passing, Frodo fell into a depression. But I was there for him, as we waited for Frodo's best friend, Samwise Gamgee to arrive. One day, when Frodo and I were having tea, Frodo peered over at our children. That's when a question formed in Frodo's mind, which he asked me:
"Aaylie, if the circumstances were different, would you still choose me?"
It was a good question, and with it came a good answer: "Yes Frodo. If the circumstances were different, and God had known it, I think things would turn out the same. The end result I mean."
"Eru would be glad of it," Frodo grinned my way. "But if you had to choose, what would you have picked?"
"Middle-earth. I don't know. I guess I finally know where I belong," I said, pleased with my answer.
"That's good." Frodo said, standing up and approaching our son, "How's Drogo doing? Hmm?"
Drogo the second laughed in his father's arms. As for our girl – Primula the second we called her – she wouldn't stop climbing onto Frodo's leg. It was a sweet experience to see my husband with our children. I couldn't help cheering them on, until Frodo decided to be daring.
"Primula, why don't you join your mother?" he said, guiding Primula II over to me.
"Mummy, can wou tell wus a story?" Primula could be so cute at times.
"What would you like to hear?" I asked her. It dawned on me. "How about the story of when your father and I first met?"
Drogo wriggled in Frodo's arms. Frodo chuckled. "When was the last time we heard this story?"
"Oh, come on, Frodo. We had good times," I said, cheerily.
"Yes, and I remember that." He rolled his eyes.
"Now, where shall we begin?" I asked, ready to tell our children the tale of when Frodo and I first met.
And for now, all was well. For this was the right moment, at the right time. For now, Frodo and I knew where we belonged.
The End.
