Part 13

I am very sorry it has taken me a while to write this but I have just started a new school and am therefore flying around like a mad dog in a twister. Right, I guess its time for the comments:

Wintercherry- God get with it girl! Just see the film already!!! Good god, people will you tell her?! She has not seen the film, it is highly disgraceful. Congratulations on successfully completing your story and finishing it so well. Hopefully mine will live up to your standards. I am aware that it must be highly awful without me, you must tell me what it is like when German time comes. Please tell manda that she has competition, I have started Drama Club and made the headmaster laugh with my portrayal of a snob with a fan. Lol- xxxxx

Egyptianecho!!!!- Yay! My reader has come back! I was getting worried, I thought you'd all got bored! Hehe, yes indeed, our Fahrwen is preggers. I am still debating on the name, perhaps I should leave the decision to the person whom the baby matters most. Ho hum. If I made no sense please forgive me, it is late, I am high on love for my characters- ie Leggy and Fahrwen. But that was a little clue so see if you can decipher it. Hope school isn't too awful. :)

Gina- Thank you for that lovely compliment, I am very bowled over (and am lying on the floor waiting for help) by 'very beautiful.' Thank you very much. :) :) :) And power to all those who cannot be bothered to sign in.

Lanfear- Oh dear- hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly when you fell off your horse. What did you go and do that for? :p Glad you like.

Storytime- are you sitting comfortably?

*One thing first, I am so very sorry about what I'm being forced into doing. I am going to be very unpopular after this but I am going to have to skip a large amount of time. The reason is that most of this has been modelled more so on the movie than it has on the book, mainly because I read the book a year ago and have seen the film loads of times and I actually have it near by for easier reference. Therefore, if I was to recount all that happened in the time that I'm going to skip, I would have to reread the books and that may drive you all insane with impatientness. Yes, I am aware that is not a word- :p I'm sorry I have to do this, and I know you will hate me, I am an awful writer, very sorry :( but we have skipped right to after it's all over. The ring has been destroyed all are rejoicing. By the way I am aware that Arwen came to Gondor, but here Aragorn, Gimli, Leggy and some others are travelling back to Rivendell to see everyone.*

Coming home

Legolas' feet tread softly on the ground, the air was light and happy. The weight that had so long been pushing everyone closer and closer to the edge had finally gone- for good. All were joyous and laughing, for the great enemy who once caused their world so much pain had been defeated. The quest that had brought so much pain, fear and worry was finally over. The fellowship had broken, but not failed.

There was peace in Middle Earth, Gondor had a new king, Gandalf had returned with more power than ever, and Legolas had a child.

This thought and the thought of Fahrwen spurred Legolas on. His feet never felt the pain that they once had, the day had come. The day that had kept him going throughout the journey, the day that he woke up thinking of, and slept dreaming of.

He had begged Gimli to accompany him on his journey to Rivendell, he wanted him to meet Fahrwen properly, his love. Gimli had been pleased to come, he looked forward to seeing Fahrwen. He had not been on good terms with Legolas when they were last in Rivendell, so he had not yet come to look upon her face. He desired to see the Lady Elf that caused Legolas so much heartache when parted, and so much joy when not.

He grinned to himself. He recalled the way Legolas' face would light up whenever her name was mentioned, how- if he was permitted- he would freely talk about her all day, never tiring of words to describe her.

"We will soon reach Rivendell my friend!" Legolas' excited voice entered his ears.

He looked up to see the smiling face of his companion. The lines of worry that had been so obvious before had now vanished.

"Indeed. I am very interested to see this elf maiden that had captured your heart Legolas."

"Not only will you see Fahrwen, but my child. I have a child waiting for me."

Legolas grinned down at Gimli, he could hardly contain his excitement. He wanted to run all the way to Rivendell, but knew that would not be fair on the others. He concentrated on the thought of telling Fahrwen all that had happened, he could even tell their child. It could be a story, every night he would tell of his adventures, Lady Galadriel- the mirror, Moria- the Balrog, the battle at Helm's Deep- the competition between himself and Gimli. Everything.

Aragorn chuckled to himself, Legolas looked as though he was about to burst. All was well. They were on the road to Rivendell, the quest was successful and Legolas would finally get to see the one he had wished for every night of the journey. And himself- Aragorn thought- he would get to see his love. Arwen, the new queen of Gondor.

The elf maiden's long brown hair engulfed her face as she clutched the beautiful baby girl in her arms. Tears flooded down her cheeks. She hugged the baby to her chest, sobbing. What was she to do?
