Epilogue

Legolas stepped off the gang plank and stepped into Valinor. He glanced about happily until his eyes met with another pair of blue ones.

"Alana!"

Alana pushed her way through the crowds and threw herself into her father's arms. It had been nearly fifteen years since Alana sailed from Middle-Earth, and she was happy to see her father.

"Told you I'd be fine!" She whispered into his ear.

Legolas laughed happily. Alana snuggled up to his shoulder and then she saw someone else come off the ship.

"Uncle Gimli!" She cried happily, kneeling down to hug the elderly dwarf. "Well," she said when she had finished hugging the dwarf, "did ya bring me anything?"

Gimli laughed and said, "I knew you'd say that. Yes, I brought you something." Gimli fished out a necklace with a jewel incased in smooth stone and handed it to her. It sparkled.

"Thank you, Uncle Gimli!" She at once slid the necklace on and began to admire it. "It's so beautiful."

"I hoped you'd say that. Made it myself." Gimli smiled.

"Oh, thank you!" Alana hugged Gimli again, and then she stepped back and slide her arm through her father's. "Ada, there's something I think you should see."

Alana led them through the streets of Valinor, which would be too beautiful to describe to you. She led them out into a country side, and then stepped into a small cottage in along the road.

They dropped their stuff there, and Gimli was told that he would live with them there, but after sending him off to unpack, Alana took Legolas' arm again and led him out to the garden behind the cottage. A woman was sitting on a bench with her back to them, reading a book.

The woman had long, wavy brown hair falling below her waist. She was slightly tanned by the sun.

Legolas breathed in sharply. He could hardly believe it.

"Novthô l?"

The woman turned to reveal happy green eyes.

Legolas ran to the woman, throwing his arms around her, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"Oh Novthô l." She murmured into her hair.

Novthô l giggled and hugged her husband back. "Aw, Legolas, don't mess up my hair! Death was hard on it!"

He pulled her away from him for a moment, as if to make sure it was her. She giggled again, and he knew it was her. Pulling her gently to him, he kissed her.

Alana rolled her eyes when the kiss became passionate. Walking up between them she pulled the two apart and sat down between them. "Oh, please." She grumbled.

Legolas wrapped his arms around his wife and child, hugging them and telling them never to go away again.

A sudden gruff voice broke the moment.

"You crazy Elf, come here and help me with this pile of junk up here! I;m not as young as I used to be!"

"What was that?" Novthô l asked.

"Gimli?"

"A dwarf? You brought a dwarf here?"

"Yep! Uncle Gimli, and he's living with us. He's really nice. He gave me a necklace!" Alana covered up for Legolas as he slipped back into the house to help Gimli.

"Oh, it's so good to have everyone here again." Novthô l said, and hugged her daughter again.

THE END

Um, please review with any questions. I'm so sad this story is over! It was my favorite to write! Look out soon for a story called 'Rainfall'. It's a companion story to this one. It'll be about Alana's childhood, and stuff. Send me some suggestions on what I should put in!
