Legolas looked sadly out the window of his room, realizing this could be the last time he saw Imladris. The blond elf opened the double doors to his balcony, stepping out, gazing at the beautiful landscape beneath him. He unconsciously leaned against the railing for support, lack of energy hardly noticeable to him anymore.

"Arwen!" Elrohir dashed up to where his sister and brother were talking.

The two both looked up as he approached.

"It's-it's-" Elrohir gasped for breath, "it's Legolas, he's leaving!"

Elladan and Arwen both shot up from where they sat.

"Leaving?!" Arwen cried. She sighed, "I suppose it was only a matter of time. . ."

"We must catch up to him!" Elladan exclaimed.

Elrohir nodded, "But- I'm afraid, it is now that Arwen must decide. . . If she chooses to stay with Aragorn, then we should let Legolas return home. . ."

Arwen cringed as she heard what she knew inevitable; she looked desperately at her brothers as if pleading for help. She gulped, "I believe I have dragged this out long enough, it is time I faced reality. . ." Blinking back tears, she looked at the Twin Stars, "I must go speak with Aragorn. . . Just- just make sure Legolas doesn't leave until I've made a decision. . ."

The two brothers nodded and raced back in the direction from which Elrohir came.

Arwen sighed, "It is time. . ." she told herself. The Eveningstar lead herself down the hallway and opened the door.

"Aragorn?" she asked as the door opened.

The king of men was disturbed from his thoughts as Arwen entered the room, his face showed evidence of tears.

Arwen shut her eyes. . . This was the hardest thing she'd ever have to do.
