Epilogue

Over many years, Rivendell recovered from its deadly attack. However, only half the elves returned. Legolas and his family included.

Perhaps thirty or so years after the short, yet horrible war, the Shire and the small village near the raging river, known now as Shirless, had recovered. Mirkwood however, did not change. The elves that survived in the attack moved to the new Rivendell. No beasts roam there, but it is now inhabited by trolls that defend their territory quite violently.

Aragorn eventually married a young human girl named Foria. She was nearly as fair as the Lady Arwen, but twice as smart. They had a son named Emuel. He grew to serve in Rivendell's throne. He was the first human to ever be captain of the guard.

Legolas and Joanila did have another child. A young man named Gabriel. He grew to be a very powerful warrior in Rivendell. Legolas and Joanila raised them both until they decided it was the end of their days.

After four thousand years in life, they both passed away in their beds. Aragorn was sad to see him go, but he knew they were in a better place, and were watching over them all.

Notes from Author:

Well! My first fanfic if finally finished! Judging by the reviews, you guys liked it! I don't think there'll be a sequel however. Yeah, I did write something else during this fanfic, but it was still my second.

My inspiration for this fanfic was mainly music. I listened to songs like Independence Day by Martina McBride, The River by Garth Brooks (which gave me the idea of the raging river) and yes, Backstreet boys.

I know that the traveling times in this story were dramatically short, but I wanted a story that stuck to the plot and not several other plots. Thanks 4 all ur reviews! I hope you like my future stories! Bye 4 now!
