Elwen awoke to beautiful sandy shores and tranquil woodland with finely crafted buildings beyond it. She rubbed her head and sat up, looking at the tan and sandy ground. After about five minutes of looking at the ground, a rather handsome Elf stood in front of her. She looked up at him with a surprised look on her fair and unaged face, Er... hi... where am I?

The Elf answered: You will soon know. But there are more important things to speak of right now...



Our lives, and what has been happening.

"Why ever would you be interested in such things?

Do you not remember me?

Umm... I am afraid I don't...

I am Haldir... Does that refresh your memory, Elwen?

A smiles started on her face. She remembered now, and he hadn't changed a bit, save in appearance. His hair was longer, and, of course, different clothes. Elwen cried out in joy: She got up hurriedly and embraced the Elf she loved. Haldir returned the hug, and they stayed in each other's arms, afraid to let go. Elwen was so happy, she almost cried. Haldir spoke: Elwen... I am so sorry... I did not know...

Sorry? About what?

About not keeping my promise. I had to listen to my Lord...

I understand. What did you not know?

I was addressed to stay in Lorien to soon sail here, and I didn't know I would be ordered to do that. Why did you not sail here also?

I did not like the idea...

Why not?

I don't know.

Please forgive me...

Elwen looked at him lovingly, and a tear came to her eye, although she was smiling. It had been so long, and she loved him so much, now more than ever. Haldir spoke: What is wrong, my Love?

Elwen replied: Nothing. I am happy.

Elwen and Haldir's lips met, and stayed there for a looooooong time.
Little did they know, Galadriel was watching them, smiling. At length she spoke, So, when's the wedding?

They looked at her and smiled. Haldir smiled broader at his Queen and answered her: As soon as possible, my Lady.

They kissed again, and Galadriel gave them a moment alone.

Epilogue

In a week, they married. Merenwen was, of course, brought there by the Tirìel, and was invited to the wedding. It was a wonderful event, and they lived happily ever after.

The Tirìel

The Tirìel is an Elf-crafted item that was created by some unknown Elf. It was created with the strongest Elven magic. The Elves once knew how to turn lead into Mithril, but the spell was lost. The Tirìel was created to summon those that were needed in haste, but that was rarely. It was made of Mithril and many unknown metals and such, creating its odd colour. Some say it is colourless, some say it plays tricks on your eyes and some don't even believe in it.
The Tirìel was kept in an Elven stronghold, of which the location was not known. But it now is in the Undying Lands, guarded by unspeakable things.
