CHAPTER 6- Blissful Life

They continued this way for many months, always walking along together during the day and the night, eating together, and occasionally disappearing into a certain brethil tree, or into a certain room in the palace of Thranduil. In three months' time, they were married under Luinil's brethil, on a beautiful warm night, a few hours before tindomë. Luinil wore a beautiful silver dress, with a long train and much embellishment, and a beautiful headpiece wrought of silver with clear jewels throughout. Legolas wore a silver tunic with grey pants and a belt of mithril. They still made as beautiful a pair as they did when they met. The ceremony was beautiful, with much joyous singing, celebration, and miruvor after in a glade a slight distance away from the brethil. Then, at tindomë, Legolas carried Luinil to her talan, and they made beautiful love once more. Luinil decided that she was ready to be a mother, and so came to be with child. When the child was born, he was named A'maelelen, which means beloved star. For he was his parents' brightest light, aside from each other, and they loved him with all the parts of their hearts that were not taken up with each other.
