End of an Era

Everyone stood at the entry to the last Homely House, watching as the group of Mirkwood elves fell out of sight. Elrohir's mind replayed his Goodbye with Legolas.

The Two figures stood on the bridge, which would later be used by Arwen and Aragorn.
"Legolas..I..." Legolas shook his head. " I know. I know. But, everything will be alright." "I wish I could believe that." Elrohir sighed. "We'll se each other again. Trust me." Elrohir nodded. "I'm sure of it. I wouldn't be able to live if I lost you, Legolas. The grief would be to strong."
Legolas looked confused for a minute. "I wonder. is this what Glorfindel feels every day? This.feeling of being torn in two?" "Probably"
"I'll miss you," "I'll miss you too. I wish I didn't have to leave." "Things..happen for a reason. We'll know why this happened later."
They met in a sweet kiss, and suddenly, Legolas pulled away with watery eyes. " I'm sorry, Elrohir.I can't do this. I can't say 'Good-Bye'!" Legolas turned and fled.

Elladan looked at Haldir, who nodded. They put their arms over Elrohir's shoulders. "C'mon now, Elrohir. You'll see each other again. Trust me. I know." Elladan said with a wink.
Elrohir sighed. "You don't know what it feels like! One day Haldir'll have to go back to Lorien and then you'll be crushed on the inside. That's what I feel now." Elrohir stormed off.
Elladan sighed. Haldir wrapped his arms around Elladan's waist. "He'll compose himself soon. Don't listen to any of the hurtful things he says now. HE doesn't mean them, really."
"I know, but..I can't help but worry about him." "You're a good brother, Elladan. It's what we do."

That night, few people had a peaceful night's sleep. Glorfindel was troubled by the warring of Emotions in his heart. Elladan worried about Elrohir. Elrohir worried about Legolas. Haldir was worried about Elladan. Elrond was worried about everyone.
Erestor was to awake to sleep, and found himself chatting with Melpomaen, who, it seemed like anyway, never, slept at all, over many glasses of Wine, which he had sworn off of.
"Mel. Have you ever loved someone you shouldn't? I mean, really loved them?" Erestor asked. Melpomaen sighed. "Twice. Glorfindel, but he loved me like he shouldn't, so that worked out, and one other. And for a while there was a brief crush on Lindir." Melpomaen said.
"Glorfindel..I tried not to Melpomaen. Really. But he's just to damn. Lovable!" Erestor growled. Melpomaen nodded. "Right. Ah, But it is late, and you should be asleep, shouldn't you?" He said as he stood up and stretched. Erestor stood also and stepped closer with an accusing glance at Melpomaen.
"And what about you?" There were two questions being asked in that one. 'Shouldn't you be asleep also?' and another, that had nothing to do with sleep.
"Do not worry about me. You go off to your room now." Melpomaen said, answering both questions. Erestor stood still, not believing the answer. Melpomaen smiled, and kissed Erestor lightly. "Good night." He whispered to the dazed elf, as he was pushed out the library doorway.
